i was, very specifically, question the "good thingness" of yoshie's display of lesbian desire and the idealization of a particular kind of queer desire --which gets limited, it seems to me, to leather fetishisists, lipstick lesbians, etc -- limited range of representations to be sure. [a good top is hard to find, eh yoshie?]

and, yes, i live in florida. i see every day how men are increasingly exposed to idealized images of sculpted muscular and HAIRLESS bodies [which emanated from the queer community originally]. the men i meet here are *extremely* conscious of fitness, health, and staying in shape. it's quite pathetic. i'm convinced, in fact, that i floridians will evolve into a distinct species that, like tadpoles that develop into a frogs, will develop into rollerbladed-footed homosapiens.
