GAY PRIDE GIFT GUIDE: For the Baffled Bisexual

Day 4 of FashionIndie‘s Gay Pride Gift Guide continues its swish through the GLBT alphabet with today’s gift ideas for the Dubious Bisexual. They like boys, they like girls, they like anything with a pulse and a tongue. Some say “bisexual”; some say “pansexual”; some say “prostitution-whore”; I say use a condom and get them one of these gifts.

The Dubious Bisexual may be gay, may be straight, or may just like to drink a lot so they have an excuse to grope anything within reach. Who knows and furthermore who cares? After having their names sullied by drunk college girls and dudes on the down-low the nation over, the Dubious Bisexual is a wild card who’s hard to please but pleased to be easy.

- Summer Tank. Pride is like the beginning of gay summer — a Mo-morial Day if you will — and the Dubious Bisexual has a right to bare arms like any queer American. Calvin Klein‘s simple but vibrant Spring 2012 mens collection will look great when being flanked by a girl or guy or if they’re lucky, both.

- The Joe Francis Signature Collection. The success of Francis’ Girls Gone Wild franchise led to the less popular — and also less slutty, thank you very much — Guys Gone Wild. Both videos have enough passably attractive nudity to entertain even the most Dubious of Bisexuals, though the guys — to general audience chagrin — have something against making out.

- Janet Jackson’s The Velvet Rope. Janet’s last great gasp of musical brilliance before succumbing to pop royalty complacency, The Velvet Rope stands as a pride classic. Besides the thumping disco-tinged ode to friends lost to AIDS, “Together Again,” Janet bolsters the “It’s fine to be who you are” mantra nearly15 years before Gaga‘s “Born This Way” with “Free Xone” that should resonate with the oft-marginalized bisexual. And then there’s the bi-curious cover of Rod Stewart’s “Tonight’s the Night” that will put the Dubious Bisexual in the mood for man and/or lady love.

- Absinthe. To finally push the Dubious Bisexual over that questioning hump, sometimes regular alcohol just won’t cut it. Between 90 and 148 proof, the infamous liquor is wildly available since the US lifted a ban in 2007, but you’ll more than likely find pale imitations. Nevertheless, absinthe provides a completely plausible and unquestionable reason for anything. And I mean anything.

FASHION PORN: Everywhere Kiss Me

The i-D Magazine April 2009 spread, “Everywhere Kiss Me,” looks more like a 1980s ‘Girls Gone Wild’ still shot than a fashion editorial. Shot by photographer Katja Rahlwes, model Malgosia Bela bears all, slaps on the seduction and rocks the hooker heels for i-D. The style is rather simple, a whole lot of denim a and whole lot of skin. To be honest, I’d completely skip over this editorial while reading the magazine. What’s another pair of boobs? What’s another blue-jean jacket? What’s another sultry bed pose? Yawn.

Thanks Fashion Copious!
