Maura's Illuminated Manuscript

Reply to this post with "WARSHEEP!" "GIFs rule" and I will pick three of your icons for you to talk about in your own journal; please then keep the meme going by making this offer on your post.

I got tagged by ironymaiden, so here goes:


I use this for postscripts and other addenda, because it looks as if I'm saying "Oh yeah!" What I was really saying was "No, no, no." I don't remember what about. This picture was taken around Halloween of 2006, years before I began my Gender Switcheroo, while I was hanging out in front of the late, lamented Vogue on 11th.

ETA: This is my Suffragette costume, based - a little anachronistically, for the US - on an 1884 pattern. The sash, made from a wedding dress skirt, says "VOTES FOR WOMEN".


FFED stands for Funniest Friends' Entry of the Day. I usually use this icon in comments as an award that I infrequently bestow - sometimes more than once a day - on entries that I think are funny. Once in a purple moon I'll use it on one of my own entries that I think is funny. The style of this picture is ganked from the graphic on They Might Be Giants' LP Flood.


This is a detail from the 18th century-style corset, part of the Blue Confection for those who recall, which is an outfit that I wore in a photoshoot by staxxy way back in 2002. Since it's blue, I use it for entries and comments that are sad.

The chin got to me. Forgive me, robotangel. I still have the unretouched userpic.

Techno alert: Modeselektor et al. at Re-bar, Friday. I'm unfamiliar with the headliner, but I've met one of the organizers/openers and music at Re-bar tends not to suck.

Trans people have yet to come to a consensus on a symbol for themselves. There are various unwieldy conglomerations of Mars and Venus symbols, which I can't muster any enthusiasm for. There are also butterflies. While I can't argue with the symbolism, the way they're executed is too frou for my taste, not to mention hard to draw. So, inspired by vixyish's peds doing everything but xing, I give you... the pedderfly.
