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.

It isn’t in the Water, it’s in the Seed

[K] Let me introduce you to A Florida Enchantment - a film produced in 1914 which isn’t only one of the earliest depictions of homosexuality on the silver screen, but also the earliest one to settle the question about the origin of homosexuality once and for all… unfortunately, no one remembers. And no, it’s not music videos. Here’s how it works:

The film’s protagonist pops a magical seed which causes some gender confusion, a.k.a her transformation into a glorious butch, as she starts dancing with and hitting on girls, donning a suit and being all around better at being ‘male’ than all those guys around her, which makes her fiancee decide to also try the seed on himself.

Mayhem (and entertainment) ensues.

You can watch the 3.30 minute condensation of the film here, or purchase the whole thing here.

    EDIT: ok, So sometimes I reblog videos before I watch them, which is a problem, but I’ve just watched the YouTube...

    This is what I get for not watching linked videos first: lots of blackface in the condensed version.
