You’re Here, You’re Queer, Get Into It: Picking the Perfect Coming Out-fit

Edited by

Today is October 11th, better known as National Coming Out Day — the day when all excuses for “drunken” late night hook-ups, all half-hearted reasoning behind “accidental” brushes against the thigh and innumerable piles of carefully hidden porn come tumbling out of the closet. After all, it’s 2011 and being gay is okay. You can kind of get married — if you live in New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, New Hampshire or Washington D.C. — and you can openly serve in the military — as if you would either way — so what’s not to be proud of? And sure, being gay’s not all is cracked up to be — it really doesn’t get that much better — but it’s still better than living a lie that no one nor their mother is buying. So go head, Mary, wave that rainbow flag and blast your Lady Gaga ’cause lady you were born this gay.

Ponyhair Is Everywhere, And We’re Falling For It

Edited by

For those of you who are wondering if ponyhair is actually the hair side of a pony, as we too were wondering, it’s usually not. Ponyhair, also called haircalf, comes mostly from cows and can even be made from buffalo and other animals. Ponyhair is considered, like fur, to be the pelt of the animal rather than the underside from where leather is taken. It’s typically more expensive than leather because the hair has to be treated, cut and sometimes dyed before using, but we think the price to pay is well worth it. Here are seven of our favorite calf/pony/whatever-you-want-to-call-it hair pieces that are screaming fall! right in your face.
