X 4 Poems by jojo Lazar
i’m mis-matched Mary Janes honoured, thrilled with 2 cherry fascinators on top.
It will come as no surprise that ‘dress-up as a way of life,’ costume and maquillage as gender(queering) performance— and poetry about the intersection of all of these are dear to my heart. Included are my OG meta-burlesque poetess poem “HOT GIRL ON GIRL ACTION” and works about what happens when one’s histophile styles are misunderstood, and/or having way way way more fun than one ought once one’s ‘costume trunk’ days are supposed to be over. (Not so much for me, clearly.) i get to best a lot of my molting duckling demons writing about how i live and adorn myself these days. On with the poem/fashion/show!
Photos included are by myself/Vignette, Dr. Mom (of Salon Gone Wrong ‘08), David Aquilina (from lilypales Lilypad Tiny Instruments show w. Zoe Boekbinder & Jill Tracy), and Derek Kouyoumjian (Tinys at New Jew Revue fall ‘10)
