In case my face looks familiar to some of you, it’s because quelola, a mod at Fat People Of Color, is my identical twin sister. I discussed with her juxtaposing a few outfits this month to show how uniquely different our styles can be. I’m wearing a thrifted Levi’s jacket that I cut the sleeves off of. My shirt is a Police shirt, my shorts are originally pants from Old Navy that I turned into cut-offs, my shoes are Converse. Lola is wear a 2011 Coachella v-neck , her skirt is Forever 21+, belt from ASOS, Macy’s tights and Steve Madden boots. ( via chill-murray )

Ain't born typical: Dos and Don'ts for a Femme

classycoochie:

I attended the keynote speech from Mia Mingus for this weekends Femme’s of Color Symposium and this is a list I compiled pulled directly from MY experience listening to that speech, a performance piece, and crowd responses. You are under no obligation to agree or disagree with anything below as this is how I am defining my femmeness.

Do cry whenever you want
Don’t over analyze  what that means to the point of exhaustion
Do wear as much or as little makeup as you’d like
Don’t worry to much when your mascara smears down your face from tears, sweat, work
Do put yourself in places where many people think you don’t fit
Don’t feel obligated to have to let everyone in to your personal space
Do give thanks and speak the names of those before you who have made your path that much more bearable
Don’t feel obligated to out do anyone’s legacy
Do acknowledge that “femme” was your mother’s, your mother’s mother, and your mother’s mother’s mother
Don’t forget that your femme is yours, now
Do create art
Don’t feel obligated to “color inside the lines”
Do enjoy every curve, roll, hair, mole, scar on your body
Don’t hide any those things because of fear
Do practice conscious breathing to the point of letting every part of your chest and belly and face and whole body puff up and hang
Don’t suck it in Don’t suck it in DONT SUCK IT IN!
Do embrace your ugly, your freak, your weird
Don’t ever let others use your ugly, your freak, your weird as weapons against you
Do fuck up the bullshit that is normal, beautiful, pretty
Don’t ever believe not being those terms by “traditional” standards makes you less than
Do connect with everything around you, your body, your family, your soul
Don’t feel obligated to explain your femme to anyone or to yourself
Do fuck/have sex “femme”
Don’t fuck/ have sex “femme”
Do ask yourself questions as often as possible
Don’t feel obligated to know or have all the answers
Do continue to add or take away from this list
Don’t assume that this list applies to anyone else but you

Pride

classycoochie:

My twin sis and I at Great America’s Pride Night.

The entire day/night she kept telling me people were looking at me… Probably because of my sheer top/bra combo. I was ridiculously proud of myself for being able to not give a shit. Progress!

[Image Description: Two Latina womyn stand behind a picture frame looking at the camera. The one on the viewers left has long brown/black hair with bangs, a jean jacket and a sheer top with a bra underneath. Her skirt is barely visible and is white with black print. She also is wearing a black bangle and a silver bangle on one wrist and there is a blue-multi colored strap over her shoulder. She smiles at the camera.

The womyn on the viewers left has a happy expression and is wearing a white t-shirt, glasses with black and white frames and a black baseball cap with white letters.]
