Lesbian (From a man's perspective)

Taylor Alison Swift is second coming of sappho and her entire discography is gay. Argue about it with God.

[folklesbianpoet]

this news is unsurprising

[dykeselfcest]

the thing is that once gaylorism has gotten its claws in you you'll never be free and it can attack at any time. the other day at the store they were playing vance joy's riptide and I had to think about karlie kloss. so you can imagine the kind of stress I am under

[vmcardigan]

and the moment you start syncing gaylor songs/lyrics with your own gay as fuck personal life and relationships in adjacent to speculations of #her own queer life and relationships it became this symbiosis bond and you can never truly escape her. whenever you hear her songs it will always give me this psychosis flashback like I will never get away from her music the way it has marked my soul and consciousness. I will not be the menace yearning insane lesbian that I am today with all my triumphs if I didn’t click play on folklore on 2020 and then had a Kayor epiphany after hearing those toxic lesbian situationship coded songs like cardigan and my tears ricochet and then went down the whole gaylorism rabbit hole.

general public being shocked at the mother mary film depicting perfect toxic evil lesbian situationship between a pop star and a fashion icon whom the pop star refers to as her ‘ex best friend’, who ‘betrayed’ her but is still the muse of her songs…. people from the movie kept saying taylor swift was a main inspiration of the movie in many different ways… how is it not clicking for these people omg? not to mention jack antonoff and rina yang being involved in this damn movie like #oh okay but that’s not even some revelation when the plot itself is this transparent and this blantant.

“…A slender body, hands soft and white, for the service of my delight, two sprouting breasts round and sweet, invite my hungry mouth to eat, from whence two nipples firm and pink, persuade my thirsty soul to drink, and lower still a secret place where I’d fain hide my loving face….”

— Isadora Duncan in a letter to Mercedes De Acosta [1927] (via grotesque-girlesque)

Claudette Colbert (born Émilie Claudette Chauchoin; September 13, 1903 – July 30, 1996) was an American actress most known for It Happened One Night (1934). Despite both her marriages being seemingly legitimate and loving, rumors of Claudette’s affairs with other actresses such as Katharine Hepburn, Joan Crawford, and Marlene Dietrich followed her for her entire career. Most notably, Claudette had a very public intimate relationship with the "out" lesbian artist Verna Hull in the 1950s. Although Claudette denied the rumors that she was bisexual or a lesbian, she and Verna rented a home together in New York City and even had neighboring vacation homes in Barbados. The relationship ended abruptly and on bad terms in the early 1960s after the death of Claudette’s husband. When Claudette passed away on July 30, 1996, she left her entire estate to another woman named Helen O’Hagan, whom she instructed in her will to be treated “as her spouse.” "She certainly moved with great ease in gay circles," said a friend. "I used to see her at George Cukor's, and there would be quite the carrying-on. She was never shocked. It was a world she was comfortable in. It was taken for granted that she was gay, or at least not conventionally straight." "We used to call her "Uncle Claude"," said Don Bachardy, the lover of the writer Christopher Isherwood. "Actually, I think she's really a good example of a very closeted situation. Only well within her own circle did they know the truth."

Greta Garbo by Mercedes de Acosta

[allgarbo]

Happy Birthday, Greta Garbo! (September 18, 1905 - April 15, 1990) 

“Her real tragery is that she is a lone wolf. No matter how much she may love a person and try to hold onto that person’s life and be part of it, in the end she has to let go and pursue her own lonely course. People have sometimes said that she has little talent for friendship. Her problem is that her standards of friendship are so high that few people can meet them. In her self-imposed isolation she cannot understand a friend who has a need to go about socially and perhaps partake the innocent frivolities of life. 

To her, and rightly so, life is a serious matter. She is a Virgo, Virgo are often over critical, high strung and intolerant. They are also very analytical. Greta analyzes everything as if she were holding a magnifying glass up to her life. Her analyses are sometimes wrong, but once I said to her,“ No matter how wrong she is, in her error she is more right than people who are right. "She has, what I consider a very striking quality, a deep purity of intention in all she does”. 

I believe her own greatest problem and one that cause her untold unhappiness is an underlying suspicion toward people and life itself. (…) But in this matter of suspicion Greta is again a paradox, as she is on most thing. She will often be suspicious to the last ditch of someone who is really her friend, and give her confidence to someone who has not got the slightest bit of her interest at heart. Her judgment can often be unstable and unsoud.”

“If you would stop finding everything out, I would like it more. I close up like a clam to all people who always find everything out. Take what is offered for the moment and that is yours.”

— Greta Garbo, from a letter to Mercedes de Acosta written c. 1958 (via violentwavesofemotion)

The nude picture of Greta Garbo taken by Mercedes De Acosta. De Acosta said of it:

“I would see her above me, her face and body outlined against the sky, looking like some radiant, elemental, glorious god and goddess melted into one.”

Greta Garbo by Mercedes de Acosta

[allgarbo]

I do not recall too well what we talked about that day. I was too overwhelmed to record the conversation. I remember discussing Duse with Greta and Salka, and then Salka went upstairs to telephone. Berthold had gone out to the garden to read to Tommy. Greta and I were left on our own. There was a silence, a silence which she could manage with great ease. Greta can always manage a silence. But I felt awkward. Then suddenly she looked at my bracelet and said, “What a nice bracelet.” I took it off my wrist and handed it to her. “I bought it for you in Berlin,” I said.

[allgarbo]

“You belong to me. Some things just belong to other things; There is no other way. Why not let us then say, For example… The salt to the sea, A bird to the sky… And you to me!”

— A poem from Mercedes de Acosta to Garbo (1944) x

[allgarbo]

“Garbo was a completely masculine dyke, which makes her films even more wonderful. She did the chasing, except for Mercedes de Acosta, whom she took on for snob reasons and gave a hell of a beatin — the daughter of a butcher abusing a descendant of the Duke of Alba! When somebody like Dietrich or Bankhead went after her, Garbo took it on the lam.”

— Louise Brooks about Greta Garbo in Garbo by Barry Paris (via allgarbo)

[oh-sewing-circle]

“They met in 1931 and Mercedes de Acosta was soon obsessed by Garbo. An obsession that continued until the end of the 1960’s, when de Acosta published her memories and wrote many pages about Garbo. The two were introduced by author Salka Viertel, with whom Garbo was also rumored to have been involved. Her relationship with Garbo has often been described as the love of her lifetime. It is doubtful from all information from the time that Garbo shared those feelings. Garbo was in control of the affair, and the two would be together for lengthy periods often taking vacations together, then apart for long spells without Garbo even acknowledging de Acosta, and everything was at the will of Garbo.”
