Gimmick
With very, very, very few (but notable) exceptions, I most certainly have A Type when it comes to women. Men I'm more...forgiving? I've dated short guys, tall guys, skinny guys, beefy guys, blonde guys, dark guys, you get the idea. And I think most women are attractive in a general sense. But when it comes to women who sexually attract me, they almost always fall into a particular category, and it looks like this:
I lay the blame 100% on the movie that produced that still. As a teen watching that movie (clandestinely--I knew it was the sort of movie my parents would disapprove of) I realized with no small amount of discomfort that I really wanted to kiss that character in her post-transformation mode. At the beginning of the movie, in her bikini with the wavy 80s perm, she did nothing for me. STYLE IS IMPORTANT, YO.
The "do I want to do her or be her?" dilemma was never an issue. I knew right away that I wanted to hold that up against a wall and mash my face against hers. I wasn't sure what else there was to do at the time, but wow was I horrified to find myself curious to find out. I was (oh, let's be honest--still am) boy-crazy, so I was able to shelve those inclinations until I went to college, and then the full realization hit pretty fast. Hello, women's scholarship hall living.
The self-acknowledgement/labeling of being bisexual was difficult enough, and the story of my attempt to come out to my mother the summer after freshman year is a perfect (and by perfect, I mean morbidly hilarious) example of How Not To Be A Compassionate Parent. It's also one of the reasons I don't talk with my mother about anything more serious than health and nutrition. I love her, but the woman has issues. That's a completely different topic, though.
Anyway.
Honestly, I hadn't given much thought to that movie in years, but someone posted a vid containing clips from it in a femslash vid posted to the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
vidding community yesterday and I might have spent a few several minutes wrapped up in nostalgia while doing a Google image search.
Also mentioned on that vidding comm was this vid, which showcases women characters and is nothing short of amazing. Warning for some pretty horrific violence, but oh my god so incredible.
It's Tuesday, so that means I've got another collection up. Today is Tuesday, November 5: Adornment.
