Haircut Non-Gay Style

Dec 15, 2004 13:58

Just got back from having my hair cut by the gayest looking hairstylist. His name was David. He has a shaved head, an eyebrow ring, diamond crosses in each ear, wears well fitted trousers and a tight pinched white shirt... the interesting thing is, he isn't gay ( Read more... )

It was quite fashionable to be bi-sexual in sixth form (maybe what you guys would call the last year of school). But of course, those "sensitive guys" weren't gay, they were just trying to understand why they didn't fit into the meat head/jock stereo-type.

I'm both gay and Eurotrash...explain?

The line is definitely getting blurred - and what hope do I have, when I can't even get gender right!!

The lesbian thing is funny too. When I started going to gay bars in the early nineties, no one would talk to me because I looked too girlish (long hair, lipstick, and skirts - god forbid) and therefore couldn't possibly be interested in another woman. And when I finally did meet someone and fell in love with her, she dumped me for a man and was married within a year!

Its much easier to like it both ways.

I can relate to what your saying. Before I met the delicious galactic_jack I met a guy who liked girls. He's now married. I turned down the invitation to the wedding 'cause I felt it would be too weird. He understood. His wife still refers to me as his ex-boyfriend even though we certainly didn't have, what I would consider, a relationship.

That is a tough situation - I can understand why you wouldn't feel comfortable going!

Not that I'm attempting to address a class composed entirely of of grandmothers on the subtler aspects of the ancient art of egg-sucking (oops! unfortunate metaphor, that) but I'm not sure that 'rough trade' is, *strictly speaking*, a reference to that Village People-esque 'clone-look', any more than it's a reference to a record shop in Westbourne Park Road ;-)

I didn't think "rough trade" was a reference to The Village People. I, as a gay man, always refered to "trade" as being a straight looking guy with a bit of a dirty, unkempt look. I'm not sure what you're saying.

Sorry to be vague; I didn't mean to imply I thought you meant 'rough trade' was a reference to VP per se, but more a reference to a kind of look--'rough' or working class (one *like* some of the VP characters, in the uniforms--contstruction worker, etc).

However, I've always understood the term 'rough trade' to refer to anonymous sex with a stranger--eg an encounter of the type portrayed by Warren on his 'walk through the park' in This Life :-)
