When I think about âmy tastesâ in an expansive way, I think the common thread is explorations of femme-nessâ living as a woman, being perceived as a woman, experiencing girlhood, existing as a woman within (or really under) masculine cultures/political structures/households etc. I often joke to my friends that I donât read male authors because I donât want a tourists guide, but I do find that almost all of the art I enjoy is womenâs work.
Favorite artists: Faith Ringold, Camille Claudel, Artemisia Gentileschi, Claudette Johnson
Favorite poets/writers/authors: Maggie OâFarrell, Ada LĂŹmon, bell hooks, Charlotte BrontĂ«, Valeria Luiselli
Favorite directors: Celine Sciamma, Kelly Reichardt, Celine Song, Sarah Polley, Greta Gerwig
Favorite films: Petite Maman, The Worst Person In The World, Frances Ha, Ladybird
Outside of the art I consume, I think my life is very oriented around womanhoodâ my apartment is overtly a womanâs house, my closest friends are women, the ways that I exercise and cook and dress are all intentionally oriented around my womanâs body and itâs cycles and needs but also the expression of being a woman, like not just a human person but a Woman, in the way that bell hooks and Virginia Woolf write about.

I'm going to be honest I could listen to most songs about 100 times and never notice the lyrics if I don't look them up.
I think this is probably because of my background playing an instrument I tend to focus more on the melody and rhythm. I was listening to this and thought about a couple of bits of the lyrics that jumped out at me and I was like blown away lol it's very profound and relatable especially right now as Iâm working through some things. I'm sure it resonates with so many women whoâve experienced being idealized, placed on a pedestal so high in the air that theyâre lonely and not engaged with or respected on a human level, and the inevitable devaluation that follows. not to sound emo or melodramaticâŠ

As a child growing up with brothers and as the fat black kid, i never considered myself feminine. Even when i lost weight in middle school and went to an all girls high school, looking girly or being more âfeminineâ was just not something i thought about.
I feel like recently, i wanted to explore that more, as this pull to dress and appear more feminine has become super strong. Having a house to decorate in any way I can, actually starting to feel better about my body to wear skirts again, etc has really influenced me. But my fears are that it may portray trad wife or childâs play; Iâm nervous of stares or being questioned about my views if i were to give such a strong appearance of a girly woman.
But some of my inspirations have been strolling through vintage creators and small japanese insta accounts with super pink and fluffy aesthetics.
Hopefully i will build up the courage

Fuck the classics, unless that's what you ACTUALLY want to read. Read erotic novels, books only written by Real Housewives or just the paper. Just read, your aging brain will thank you.

I worked with a woman last year who smelled rich, old money rich. Like incense, reminding me of funerals in Catholic Churches. She left her smell in each room she exited. For Christmas I received a lot of perfume, I plan to stink out each room I enter and exit.
