Fuck Yeah Queer Pomps

A celebration and homage to 1950's inspired hairstyles as worn specifically by Butches, Dykes, Queers, Homos and Gender Outlaws of all stripes.

Please feel free to submit photos of: yourself / friends / lovers / family members sporting your sharpest pompadours, quiffs and duck tail hairstyles. Particularly if you're a QOC! We need more representation here and I know we're out there.

BUTCH-A-DAY PROJECT

Hello friends, I don’t really like to post non-photos or things not pertaining to this blog here… but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to use this space to ask for help with a project I’m working on right now called Butch-A-Day. It’s in conjunction with the Artclash Collective and their Fun-A-Day series/gallery show

Basically what I’m going to do is talk to one Butch identified person for every day there is in the month of January. I will ask them each the same set of questions:

“How do you define Butch?” and “Where are you right now?” 

I will document this interaction by creating a framed 4x6 inch drawing or digital design image of each person I talk to, along with their answers. (I may have to condense some of the answers to get the image and text to fit, but all in all I will stay as true to the answers I receive as possible.)

Come Feb I will hopefully have 31 framed images total to show at the gallery for the ArtClash Collective’s event. I’m dong this to prove that Butches are out there, we do exist and we’re all connected in some way! I still need more Butches to participate. I can only do this with your help!

If you or anyone you know may be interested please let me know! And feel free to reblog far and wide! You can also message me here or via my personal email address at: jumpington@gmail.com Thanks so much and I hope everyone is having an awesome New Year so far!
