Possibly one of my most favorite photos of me, ever. This was at the giant Buddha, and it was starting to rain so we took shelter underneath this archway. As the photo was being taken, people started to crowd and watch and it was incredibly awkward but kind of fun at the same time.

Reblogging to replace the commentary. Please don’t remove the caption to my photo!

Every time I get notifications for this photo I just want to be back in Hong Kong. It’s such an incredible place and I wish I had longer to explore it.

I showed my dad (the photographer) the other day and he spat out his tea, he was that excited.

fashion and the trans aesthetic by harinef | part iv: current editorial

juliana huxtable “last exit to brooklyn” by mario sorrenti styled by mel ottenberg purple fall fall 2013

i love purple. good old-fashioned “downtown cool” is its end, but its means change with the times. if mario sorrenti’s “last exit to brooklyn” romanticizes some “cool/gritty” vision of pre-giuliani new york, it has no choice but to embody this nostalgia through a cast of present-day new yorkers who will never know that mythical city–and probably never care.

i also love julianahuxtable. she’s one of my favorite artists, and a pillar of the trans community. her demeanor in this image confronts ottenberg’s retro-kink styling, sorrenti’s black & white. she forces her representation into the present, staring down nostalgia that may or may not serve her in the here-and-now. i’ve talked to juliana about fashion: participating in fashion, embodying fashion for others. i’ve learned from her ambivalence–from her refusal to participate in what doesn’t serve, respect, or fortify her.

sorrenti and ottenberg are up to something tricky: something which transcends nostalgia through embodying it. their work invokes history in order to break with it. indeed: “last exit to brooklyn” is no gesamtkunstwerk, but a keen pastiche of identities in the new york context…whatever that means.
