My friend K (of http://www.queereyecandy.com/2008/05/extra-dirty/ and http://www.queereyecandy.com/2009/01/from-extra-dirty-to-extra-blurry/) took this shot of me at the Jazz-Age Picnic on Governors Island last weekend.

I identify as genderqueer and dress both femme and butch, but for a long time I had given up on being able to have a masculine appearance when I wanted to because I’m so slight, but I love men’s clothes and have recently realized I can totally be the man I want to be — good manners and a great tailor (the suit is custom from Duchess Clothier), go a long way.  Of course, my girlfriend, who can seem femme and is waaaay tougher than me (she’s archaeologist, which means she keeps a pick-axe under our kitchen sink), thinks I’m slightly insane for wearing a wool suit on a summer day.

ooh. gorgeous!

Slightly insane, yes, but also fully swoon-worthy. Time to invest in a summer suit.

not insane just hot as hell!

With your pocketwatch and her pickaxe… I hereby announce the hottest couple in history.

Let them call you insane, but damn you look hot, so it was well worth it!!!!

dude. you look absolutely gorgeous here. Also, pick-axe keeping girlfriends! ftw!
I so totally love these shared glimpses into your life. :-)

I can’t stop looking at this amazing shot. Lovely.

Beautiful picture, dapper subject. I aspire to being so well put together in masculine attire.. You are a great wardrobe role model

Eye candy, indeed.

Amazing composition on this shot … and you look smashing. You do need to get a summer suit, though … it will make those picnics that much more comfortable. Maybe look for some linen?

Wow, how fantastically classy and sexy is this shot and this person?!
