Instead of getting myself all wound up thinking I need to write sizable, researched posts for my all cosplays–then being reminded of my executive dysfunction and difficulty expressing myself with words–then ending up with a big old backlog of unshared cosplays–I’m going to try and commit myself to posting without overthinking everything. Let’s agree to not talk about whether that counts as a sentence.
In the spirit of unwinding, here’s my closet cosplay of that flashy girl from Flushing with style and flair, Fran Fine from The Nanny(1993-9). I don’t quite have the amazing, hyper-fashionable wardrobe Fran does, but I attempted one of her classic silhouettes from season two: a brightly-colored mini-dress over a turtleneck and tights. Then a little evening Fran look.
I read Manhunt by Gretchen Felker-Martin and I loved it so much I spent my free time this week on illustrations of my interpretations of the main crew. It’s a sweaty, desperate, violent post-apoc story that’s also a bleeding love letter to trans women.
I keep telling my friends “Manhunt was a full course meal when I didn’t know I was starving”. It’s raw, it’s compassionate, it’s horrible, it’s tragic, it made me cry. LOVED THIS BOOK.
Honestly, thank god this week is over. I am so ready to spend a good percent of my long weekend in toasty pjs watching Chris Pine’s new Netflix movie. Perhaps I will even watch a certain scene a number of times.
So, I read some stuff this week and because I am such a kind and giving human, I am sharing some of them with you. When I die, please tell people how gracious I was.
