Adventure Time Gay Subtext: "Spicy" or Adorbz?

TV post by Kjerstin Johnson on October 4, 2011 - 1:20pm; tagged Adventure Time, cartoons, queer representation.
Bubblegum is seated as Marceline floats towards her, it looks like an intimate moment between these two cartoon characters. What time is it? Time to get to the bottom of what happened between Adventure Time's Princess Bubblegum and Marceline the Vampire Queen! Before I lose anyone who isn't a fan of this irreverent, Cartoon Network show, a recent episode alluded to a complex, queer relationship between two of the older, female characters on the show.

Sm{art}: Sophia Wallace: Not Your Typical Fashion Shoot

Art and Design post by Kjerstin Johnson on June 15, 2011 - 1:44pm; tagged female photographers, gender, photography, queer representation.

Sophia Wallace is a photographer living and working in New York City. Wallace uses photography and portraiture to challenge normative assumptions about gender, race, and heteronormativity. I could probably write a blog post on each of her series, the photographs are so striking. Instead, I'll highlight a few of them and I encourage you to visit her site and browse yourself.
Four photographs from Sophia Wallace's series Modern Dandy. In the first picture, a light brown-skinned androgynous person stares demurely at the camera. They wear a grey tank top and dark pants. Their hair is short on the sides and high (but not flat), on top, a modern interpretation of the flat-top. In the second photograph a brown-skinned dandy is capture mid-motion, in the air. They are wearing short black boots, thigh-length shorts, and a vest over a collared shirt. They swing a black bag. They have a black flat top with a bleached stripe down the middle. In the third picture, a brown-skinned woman touches her hand to her forehead like she is thinking or focusing on something. She has a center part and two braids woven closely to her head. She wears a pink-buttoned up shirt with a houndstooth button and a black bowtie. In the fourth picture the three models stand together. They are wearing different outfits, but all are very dandy-esque. They lean on one another in a way that expresses camaraderie.
