One day I was having tea with a friend, as you do, and told him one of my super-funny stories (about telling a guy who was bothering me in a bar to get lost), at which point my friend stopped me with an incredulous look, exclaiming, ”wait, are you...?” He then proceeded to tell me in great detail how and where to find the only bar in Aarhus specifically catering to lesbians. Slightly confused, I nodded along and put in the occasional ”ok”, not really picking up why he was telling me this. Only later that day did it click that he was talking out of an assumption about my sexuality.
Where the silence gives room to the thoughts that would otherwise drown in the noise of outside life

Walking Down the Street In Her 6 Inch Heels. Symbolic Femininity
You can vividly imagine it, you probably see it every day. Young and less young ladies walking along the streets, in high high high heels, with varying
degrees of agility, looking more or less like ducks (sorry, but really).
Most of the time, people reach their destination without incident, just
once in a while someone smacks their face into the sidewalk and all look embarrassed and the lady gets to her feet and hurries on her way hoping nobody will remember her face. Because for some reason, this is almost invariably done by individuals of the female species. But what's the deal? Why would anybody do the duckwalk and willingly accept the increased risk of knocking out a couple of front teeth for no apparent reason?18 February 2013

recently rediscovered Army of Lovers (happens every once a year or
so), and wanted to share their brilliantness with everybody.
