Our call for MapperQ posts has seen a powerful response. We already have enough D.C. recommendations to map out a shopping marathon. First, Calley got in touch and shared not one, but three great places to shop for dapper suits. Dapper, darling suits at Dash’s Upscale menswear shop with super-high...

Wedding season is once again upon us and invitations to the joyous occasions are flooding the postal system. I used to dread weddings. I liked the party and seeing family or friends. I enjoyed the food, the drinks, the dancing and generally sharing in the couple’s joy. Heck, I even surprised myself...

Memorial Day weekend heralds the advent of summer and, with it, a slew of oh-so-superbly gay weddings. Inspiration for those planning an outdoor ceremony can be found in the example of Shavon Gaddy-Dalrymple, 30, who wed Jory Dalrymple, 34, last Memorial Day weekend at Incarnation Camp in Deep River,...

Your old pal dapperQ is not going to perpetrate like she knows much about wedding gowns.  Over the past year, my focus has been on creating community for genderbenders who want to stylishly incorporate men’s fashion elements into their wardrobe. For dapperQ’s, the challenge is how we fit our hips...

For those who are terribly lucky, love begins with a sense of awe and wonder. We might long for it, but never know for sure that it will arrive. When it does, words often fail to fully convey the magic of falling. For queers, marriage equality is kind of like that. We never knew it could happen. Frankly,...

You’ve found the one. You are ready to take the plunge. But you will be damned if your biggest day forces you into a dress. You know who you are and you know that your reasons for “transgressing bridal fashion” are as unique as you are. At dapperQ — my site for those transgressing men’s...

Include Sarah Carson Cloud’s photo in a line-up of this summers most stunning brides and few could guess she was the gay wed one. Her gown, the “Priscilla” by Michelle Rahn, was “old school, classic glamour.” Her French netting veil, designed by Sara Gabriel, was worn over her eyes during the...

The words dyke and fashion don’t usually go together. Gay boys get the glory — lesbians, not so much. That’s why I am so crazy excited to have accepted an invitation from the CEO of GayWeddings.com, Kathryn Hamm, to serve as fashion expert for a new series her site has just launched....

My big fat gay wedding was the best day of my life. Going to Saks Fifth Avenue to find my outfit, however, not so much. That was four years ago and I while I was able to pull it off with a little luck, my stress about it was off the charts. Since launching dapperQ, I’ve learned that such anxiety...
