why

why am i interested in wearing high heel shoes
why am i interested in mascara and eyeliner
why am i interested in shaving my legs and putting on a pair of high heel shoes to see what my calves look like
why am i interested in putting my hair in pigtails
why am i interested
curious i guess
not all of these at once
individually
i’m not interested in becoming a drag queen
i’m not interested in becoming a woman
i am a man
i want to remain a man
but i’m interested
why don’t men wear high heels
why don’t men wear makeup
why don’t men shave their legs
why don’t men wear pigtails
some do
but not many
why do people stop and stare
women do it
why can't men
why has society determined
what is appropriate for a man
what is appropriate for a woman
who makes these rules
from a very early age
we are told
boys do this
and girls do that

why

a ladies size 11 is like a guys size 9...that means i crammed my foot into a shoe 4 times smaller than my regular size. that would explain why my foot will not go back into these damn shoes!

ouch!

i just crammed my size 13 foot into a ladies peep-toe size 11. hopefully something good comes of it!

carpurse

oh car

oh carpurse

how little boys long
long to carry you
filling you with pretty things
makeup
dolls

how little girls long
long to drive you
up ramps
in the mud
filling you with little green army men

but they dont play
play this way

why dont little girls long
long to drive
drive you up hills and through tunnels

why dont little boys long
long to carry
carry pretty things and be pretty

why dont we just let kids play
play the way
they want to play

carpurse?

a response to a richard avedon piece i saw at the columbus museum of art

a smell rests upon his lips
rich in memory
as real as yesterday
today

a coca cola can
an image
a moment engraved in my mind

never will i drink from
a can
that my nose has not inspected

unattended soda cans are off limits

chewing tobacco has a new home

goodbye unfinished soda
be good to my dad

steel paper doll?

amored pony

a poem about my work

powered by ODEO

currently in my work I am playing
playing with mylittlepony
knitting and felting purses
turning them into remote control cars

making steel dresses
photoshoping myself into dresses
questioning myself
my role in the making process
my role as a man
my role as a gay man
since I’m gay
is it okay for me to play
play with mylittlepony
why can’t straight men play
play with mylittlepony
there was a time
as a young child
I used to play
play with my sister’s mylittleponies
she had the pony play palace
we would play
play for hours
I loved it
but felt guilty
why should I feel guilty
why should I feel wrong for playing
boys toys
girls toys
why the labels
why does it matter
is the fear to be queer
why should I feel ashamed
I’m not hurting anyone
I’m just playing
playing with mylittlepony
