Candlelighted - Serena Maneesh

Get your Norwegian shoegaze on with newly signed to 4AD Serena Maneesh. Listen to this at an obnoxious volume and collapse somewhere amongst the driving beats with a grin that won’t leave you for some time. I promise!

Learning gendered behaviour

Not a single person on this planet is born a woman. Becoming a woman, for those who willingly or unwillingly undertake the process, is torturous, magical, bewildering – and intensely political. In his essay ‘Mama Cash: Buying and Selling Genders’, transvestite Charles Anders explains that: “Transgender people… understand more than anyone the high cost of gender, having adopted identities as adult neophytes. People often work harder than they think to maintain the boy/girl behaviours expected of them. You may have learned through painful trial-and-error not to use certain phrases, or to walk a certain way. After a while, learned gender behaviour becomes almost second nature, like trying to compensate for a weak eye. Again, transgender people are just experiencing what everyone goes through.”

With a quiff, a leather jacket and an air of decadence, Morrissey’s iconic look was sealed in the minds of a thousand fans. Sadly, Marr’s diamond necklace failed to catch on.

Hey there. This pic looks familiar. Miss you too buddy. We need to sort out a catch up when I’m around in a couple of weeks. You know, I may have lost this series of photos in the great external HD debacle of ‘09, so I’ll have to grab copies off you if I get no love from the data retrieval folks this week.

Oh and given that it is that time of year in the US, I’ll give my thanks now for the opportunities that tumblr has given me to become aware of and in some cases meet in real life some truly incredible people like this fellow here who I know will be a lifelong friend.

Bad role model

Junior team member: So, why do you always wear black?

Me: (sighing on the inside after hearing this question for the umpteenth time)

LOOK - I don’t always wear black. Just at work.

Junior team member: Why?

Me: Because I am at work. For that reason, I am - in a sense - in mourning.

Junior team member: Oh….
