On modeling

[sorcyress]

So, this morning started with doing something I've only gotten to do once before --modeling for a friend.

"But Kat, you go to a school that is half an art school. An unhealthy portion of your friends are artists. How on Earth have you only managed to model once before?"

I have no idea, maybe my friends are the sorts of artists that don't need models? But at any rate, my friend Haeden is doing his photography project this semester on gender and gender expression. He asks me "do you know anyone...?" I reply "Well, me, and I can scout around."

So we spent about an hour, taking pictures, and then me writing some words down about them. It was very neat, and we got sortof a sliding gender scale for me --gentleman, genderneutral, femme, slut. Which isn't the full set of gendered words that I feel can describe me (hint: Woman doesn't, nor does man) but I feel it's a good sample of the most important of them.

It was extremely fun. I like modeling, apparently, and I'm totally vain¹ enough to enjoy looking at the pictures afterwards. I'll be sure to let you lot see as well.

Now, I am going to go to a museum with jere7my and have a generally good time of things. Have a nice day, kids!

MOOP!

1: Carly Simons *did* write that song about me, after all...

P.S: My body has pointed out that I'm definitely not preggers. Yaaa-no wait ow. I will go back to touching boys hands with impunity.

I think Carly Simon wrote that song when *I* was your age.

Back when dirt was in beta-testing.

She still wrote it about me. Or_maybe_ about my mom, but I think it's far more likely to be about me.

i agree with this, but you already knew that.

I'm just going to make the very minor addition that another word for gender neutral is androgynous.

And for the record, I know for a fact that song was written in anticipation of me.

Sounds like good thought-provoking fun. Reminds me of that great pic of you and muzikmaker21 in your finery.
