Anonymous asked: I've always wanted to get into this kind of style, and I would love to wear this kind of thing every day. Thing is, I don't know which shops would be good for buying clothes in this style, and I don't know any places where I can get this stuff cheap - I'm a college student, and on a limited budget. I also live in the UK. Any advice?

yourphonenumber asked: Anon's comments interest me. I used to feel that way, but I learned that fashion is transformative. Would we similarly chide painters and photographers for focusing on the way things look?

anaristocrat asked: I'm really curious as to what that anon means by stating that fashion "takes away from the magnificence of being human." I find it to be the exact opposite. Yes, the fashion INDUSTRY does these things, but fashion itself is, to me, the most immediate form of self-expression. I also find designers to be some of the most innovative people--it takes a lot to breathe life into...
Anonymous asked: i'm sorry but fashion, of any kind, will always be the most meaningless form of culture, because it takes away from new compelling ideas and thought processes and really only focuses on looks, which is absolutely shallow in nature, and takes away from the magnificence of being human.

hungrytwins asked: Just to let the followers know, attraction to masculinity is called androphilia. It's a nifty term to describe your attraction without stating an orientation, sex assignment, or gender identity if you don't want to. And just in case, attraction to femininity is called gynophilia. The more you know!
formerlyreavers asked: I just want to say thank you for this tumblr, it's helping me resolve a lot of conflict I've been feeling about my presentation. tomboy femme sounds pretty perfect to describe how i like to look and what i find attractive. And it's giving me the courage to actually present this way, what other folk think be damned.
