Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, huh, cause it was a total "aha" phrase for me. Because I really don't/can't do girly on a day to day, but I do love to put it on sometimes (see: prom) and it does feel very much like costuming.

Because books.
msbelle, I LOVE that color palette. My comforter is those colors, although only the lighter blue with the brown.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Like drag queens, but I think it's about makeup and fancy dresses and a lot of other things, too. I am no feminist theoritician, so I can't necessarily articulate it, but I think it's about consciously dolling up in a way that screams "lady" in our culture.

That makes sense to me now, too. That's very much me.

As someone with a peacock/brown living room, I approve of that colour scheme.

I have a definite opposition to calling that performing female. I would call that performing feminine.
Then there's the question of if it goes beyond clothing. I have no urge to change how I behave--I behave just as female as I ever want to.

That's fair, but I do think that the stereotype or whatever is the same thing. The cultural -- not ideal, but maybe vision? of a woman is dolled up. I'm not saying it's always about poufy dresses in the world -- it could be the sexy secretary or whatever.

My living room always makes me happy. Except when it's a total mess.
