Been DIGGIN’ all the love from our brethren to the North! Let’s start with Cute, Queer and Canadian whose endorsement was mad elegant: Take the sharp-tailored suits and the handsome elegance from the lads and blend them with the fierce female form or the transcendent transgender gent and you will find dapperQ at the core(…)
As these dapQ Snaps attest to, last night Shannon and I gathered with many who have been transgressing men’s fashion for decades. There were 100+ at this annual gathering of the Butch/Femme Society. We were in the middle of Long Island and the middle of the women’s restroom at Pompeii Catering. Natives flowed in and(…)
Finally, our first street fashion video shot outside of NYC by one of our volunteer correspondents — Ty Greenstein of Girlyman! It’s always a blast for me to watch these videos with lesbians for whom dapperQ’s are the “target demographic,” because they gush and gurgle over all the cuteness of a dyke like our subject,(…)
Kathleen, who heads gayweddings.com, just sent me a link to a story on soyoureengayged.com that she knew dapperQ’s would like. It’s got a good ending, but a part of the challenge that Raven and the rest of us face can be found in this quote, when she thought she was close with ivory tails that(…)
When she’s not busy planning her impending nuptials (I can be seen chatting up her betrothed in the background), Kate personifies a distinctly American dapperQ style. In this street fashion video, she is sporting a (frankly) mad cool faux hawk. Get that down, and you’re half way to Coolville. Like many of us, she’s gotta(…)
The comments are beginning to flow (blame sunshine for the glacial pace?) on my Top 10 Challenges for dapperQ’s list, and fortunately, one of the first from epinard states: Love this. Can you add as one of your challenges “little money”? I’m broke! Thrift stores work I am learning to sew but . . I(…)
Just two days ago, on my hike up Mt. Morgan in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, I was thinking of you, dear dapperQs. I was thinking about how we would collectively work in a six-week, on-line butch meet-up to define our style guide (details soon.) This self-portrait was taken and e-mailed to my wife(…)
In the process of creating a roadmap that dapperQ will use to advance the cause of those “transgressing men’s fashion,” I am drafting wide-ranging content that states a collective case, defines options, and advances change. This first piece seeks to identify our top challenges. I am not wed to the order, the language, nor the(…)
As promised, dapperQ wedding candidate #D-4689 (just kidding, it was Robin and she is guinea pig number uno) and I had her custom fit at MySuitNY.com last Friday. We went through the full selection process but, after Robin’s (apparently terrific) pop saw her sartorial quandary as portrayed in the Washington Post, he is also going(…)
I am so friggin’ sick of years of Shane, Shane, Shane as America’s dyke heartthrob. I say let’s hold a new election in which we can cast our votes for Alli Miller to, instead, be crowned queen of all she surveys. Exhibit A: a new video from behind the scenes of her photo shoot for(…)
