Gina

Hi there, I'm Gina.

This blog serves many purposes for me -- sharing new writing & works in progress, keeping in touch with old friends, making new friends, and keeping an eye on what's happening on the interwebs. But mostly? It's where I blow off steam from graduate school and talk about which David Bowie song is the queerest. ;)

If you wanna know more about me, check out my website for info about the work that I do in the world.

If you're here because you're a fan of my writing, I recommend checking out How To Have A Body for a peek at my current manuscript in progress.

Thanks for stopping by my little corner of the internet. Enjoy your stay.

1960s Van Raalte Ad

Oh hells yeah!Also, Boasting Time: I have two vintage nighties like this. One is nearly identical to the turquoise one pictured here, only it’s an orangey-pink. The other is nearly identical to the pink one pictured here, only it’s transparent and has three little decorative ribbons running down the front.I wish I had more occasion to wear these frocks, ‘cause they really are gorgeous. They’re like Valley of the Dolls meets Mrs. Robinson.My beloved friend R. — the same R. of the bathhouse stories I posted awhile back — gave them to me. He had a vintage drag pile at his birthday party, and he insisted I take the pink princess nighties. I should probably write about that for my Thesis, now that I think about it…

    But as I’ve written about feminism and S&M, I’ve also known the rules about what I get to write. I’m not sure how I internalized these rules, but I know them like I know my face in the mirror. When I write, I’m supposed to emphasize the emotional health of my relationships — both with my lovers, and (separately) with my parents. I’m supposed to emphasize my physical health, decent diet, and relatively new exercise habits — although it’s okay to mention it if I’m injured, because that’s not my fault. I’m allowed to mention being an outcast in high school, but God forbid I talk too much about the emotional impact. I must stress excellent communication with my partners. I always, always have to mention safewords.

    I am a politician. The arenas for debate are both my mind and my body. The personal is political, indeed.

  • there is more church in my future

    Today was a very, very, very good day. I feel awesome and bad-ass and in my power and energized, in short.

    That said, I am a liiiiiittle sad that I forgot that it was Ash Wednesday and forgot to go to services tonight.

    Esp. because the last time I went to church on Ash Wednesday (last year):
    1) The priest was hella sweet & hella queer.
    2) The priest loved my St. James Infirmary hoodie and was hella excited that I was a former St. James employee & connected to sex worker community.
    3) One of the other parishioners recognized me from a bathhouse (specifically, from an all-genders sex party that was held at a bathhouse that is usually dudes-only). He was all adorably like “Hey!!! I know you from…” and then he looked kinda stricken and dropped his voice to a whisper “Oh, wait, should I say that out loud? Oops.” (I smiled and said it was fine, ‘cause it was.)

    I am really thankful that a church like this exists, and that it is not even the queer church in town (but it is obvs a church with lots of queer folks front & center). Just… First off, it is amazing to live somewhere where there is more than one spiritual community option for queer genderqueer pervert sex worker outsider me. And it was pretty amazing, last year on Ash Wednesday, to go to this church I’d only heard about in passing, and pretty magically & unexpectedly have all those parts of myself acknowledged & affirmed, to have all of those parts of myself actually get to come to the table.

    I’m realizing as of late, for a lot of reasons, that I really need to get myself back to church. And to that church, specifically.

    • Ceasar:   oh god. im dying.
    • me:   Have you never encountered this?!
    • Ceasar:   Dead serious what now?
    • And I do hope that these people use lolcat speak when they're trying to say this to you.
    • me:   You know, like, the straight white cis dudes with the bad cases of Top's Disease who learned about kink from, like, Dungeons & Dragons, and they wear those black t-shirts with, like, paintings of wolves & full moons on them? And they always have either itty bitty or plush plump nerd girl subs in tow, who are usually way too smart/awesome/hot for them?
    • Ceasar:   pajsdohsduiasdubadasd;oaso;dias;dijasd
    • me:   I mean, I am not being nice and I am going to hell, clearly, but I feel like This Dude is a common character in pervert circles. This would be why I don't hang out much in the larger kink scene, even though I'm deeply queer and deeply perverse.

  • This is pretty much my gender, my sexual orientation, and probably a good 70% of my kinks in animated .gif form.

    Well, okay, not really. I am perhaps a slightly more complex creature. But this is really not a bad Beginner’s Manual.

  • “If it weren’t for the unconventionality of my desires, my mind might never have been forced to reckon with my body.”

    Oh oh oh oh OHHH. This line just shot me right in the fucking heart.

  • Bowie’s “Jump They Say” from BlackTieWhiteNoise. One of his hit or miss albums, and the video is… very weird. But damn, the song is catchy, and damn, the man looks handsome & sinister in a suit.

    And I should really be doing homework right now. Getting back to that, now.
