Butch in Progress

Two gay girls with too many issues, DVDs and shared interests trying to out-smart/out-do/out-butch each other... constructively

Who's who?

[B] according to [K]:

Addicted to fancy technical apparatuses, admittedly talented concerning most things with lenses, creative, film-freak, two years younger than me (and, of course, secretly looking up to me), so much fun to anger

[K] according to [B]:

Obsessed with glitter, glamour, popular culture and not to forget silent movies. Not only taller and older, even having an university degree. Remarkable humor and laugh.

"And yet […] there is a queer nostalgia for difference and alterity, as epitomised by ‘old school’, pre-Stonewall campness: that is, a nostalgia for an era before the mainstreaming of gay culture. This nostalgia is a crucial component of the queer use of camp. There is, it would seem, a queer desire for a time when being gay /lesbian was still dangerous, furtive, criminal. Clare Whatling desribes this yearning for the ‘good old bad old days’ as a ‘nostalgia for abjection, a nostalgia that operates as an antithesis to what often seems like the Laura-Ashleyisation of contemporary lesbian culture’."

    I’m glad that this POV acknowledges, that queer nostalgia can be about something other than naive, inexperienced...
