Wait, you haven’t heard? These guys replaced the N with an M and made Movember? Whaaa?!?!?
Check out this video I made for a full explanation of Movember and the horrors that will follow (on my face!). (Ps: watch it til the end. There are some bonus features just for you!)
Now that you know the what, the who, the why—why not support me by going to http://mobro.co/jvanfosson!
Then, PLEASE share this on your blog, with your family, with your friends, and on all your social networking sites.

Pin-Up Grrls
My best friend had a birthday. It was in March. Whenever my friends have birthdays I wish them a happy birthday. I give them a card. I give them presents, three months later. I give them more presents three months after that. I finally finished these pin-up grrl tea towels. Take a look.
Sorry about the quality of this one.
I think Bettie Page would be proud, don’t you? The patterns for these are from Sublime Stitching. These specific ones are based off of the pin-ups originally designed by Gil Elvgren. I think all pin-up grrls are already domestigators. They subvert what is domestic through their sexuality. This is something that I think gay people inherently do because they reject the heteronormative model of sexuality. Drag queens are very much like pin-up girls because the perform a sexuality that is used to subvert the erotic male gaze. I am going to start doing my knitting, stitching, ironing, cleaning, quilting, crocheting, and all other domestigay activities while wearing very sexy and revealing clothes—or just nude. No, not nude. But maybe shirtless. We have a lot to learn from our good friend Betty.
