Did you know? It's cheap to travel to Paris right now. I'm off for the weekend soon, so bon weekend everyone. Going to revel in unpopular francophilia drink French wine, flirt with French men, eat French food, buy French petit choses.



Did you also know that England experienced a brief time of queer acceptability in the 18th Century? Channel 4 did a rather brilliant show about Georgian England's excesses and forgivenesses last night. From Mother Clap's Molly House to the rather indescribable fashion fetish of molly men pretending to give birth to wooden toys and doll, it seemed gay men and women (especially aristocratic ones) had a certain amount of freedom--as long as they appeared to be straight and respectable.



Ah well, I'm celebrating my queerness with a trip to gay Paris. Au revoir!
