Riese's Team Pick: The W4W Buzz

Your hair is pretty cute. But it could be slightly cuter. I know that seems wild/impossible, but would I lie to you of course not.  The W4W Buzz at DIS Magazine has this Lesbian Visibility Barbershop Poster of alternative lifestyle haircuts which you can buy/admire except that it's really not about haircut ideas so much as it is about gender theory, as the essay explains with sentences like, "In light of the dangerous pitfalls within what constitutes lesbian in/visibility, I would like to make a plea for the return to liminal gender, a queerness that falls through the cracks of polar identity and makes use of the limitless potentials of a cyber queer network."

    great poster idea- but can we stop thinking about short hair as the only gender-ambiguous aesthetic // emphasizing the necessity of the Big Queer Chop? i can have wild & transgressive visibility without cutting off my hair.

      Yes please. I want to “look like a lesbian,” but I have no desire to cut my hair like any of those pictures. Sometimes I just wish we could have a giant “L” engraved on our foreheads, so that we wouldn’t have to worry about this crap.

    Someone needs to make a video of girls with alternative lifestyle haircuts dancing to “Whip My Hair”.
