a shiny night out
Jul. 9th, 2023 10:36 amDonned my purple latex skater dress and headed on down to the Mercury on Friday night. The Seattle Latex Circle showed up, which is always nice. My fave outfit, though, was DJ JQ's panniers made of black zip ties. Some of them were heavy duty and sharpened to points; she was very careful about how she walked, especially around the people wearing expensive but fragile rubber clothes.
Good: Temptress was there in her own latex.
Bad: The dude who made it,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
theda's ex, was there with her, unsurprisingly enough.
Good: Vienna la Rouge was there in latex...
Bad? ...with them.
The first thing I said to V was how awful that dude has been to his trans son. She said she's aware, and that she's told him in no uncertain terms that she's not down with it. Like most cis queers, she knows plenty of trans adults. Oh by the way: J of A&J fame* expressed similar disapproval, and J is as cishet as they come.
But I did get to talk to Vienna a little! I gave her a very quick summary of my last fourteen years, making sure to tell her about my (ahem) extracurricular activities. After she realized that she's a lesbian, not bi, her first relationship was abusive, which may partly explain her presence in Seattle. You know, as much as I complain about being single, I've never been in anything like the relationship hell that a lot of my friends have experienced. She was noncommittal about going to Folsom this year; given the expense for anyone who isn't a Bay Area resident, I don't blame her.
I spent much of yesterday recovering. No Goth clothing swap in Volunteer Park for me this year, but that's OK as far as my wardrobe goes.
*A&J are just gal pals. Really. I just usually happen to see them together.
