OOH, OOH! Tilda Swinton I already knew and lusted after, but Jenny Shimizu is a new and awesome person to add to my personal androgyne reference pool! Sweet, thank you =D
A general outline/explanation of the kind of androgyny I'd like to go for -- if I can possibly swing it, I'd like to hit a place that reads as a-gendered, rather than a feminine man or a masculine woman. But this, I am finding, is pretty hard -- especially when the default body is inevitably read as male. I'm trying to shoot for tall, thin, and lacking gender markers (rather than, say, mixing gender markers). The other problem with androgyny is that it's also often read as young (because everyone develops a gender eventually, you see; this person has obviously just not gotten there yet!), which I don't want. Why is this difficult =|
