I am now of huge academic interest…

…and shall probably soon become the namesake of a Learning Resource Centre, or at the very least a nutritionally dubious canteen.

A lovely girl called Lydia, from York St. Johns University, has written an essay about liddle old me.

In deftly referencing Judith Butler I was reminded of this sentiment, talking of her book Gender Trouble in an interview with Radical Philosophy:

‘I don’t think that drag is a paradigm for the subversion of gender. I don’t think that if we were all more dragged our gender life would become more expansive and less restrictive. There are restrictions in drag. In fact, I argued toward the end of the book that drag has it own melancholia.’(butler:1997,235)

…couldn’t agree more, Judy.

I love this, below, partly because I have no idea what it says. I wonder if someone could Translate. Is it Danish?

My good friend Natalie told me this blog should be less self-aware. If you’re reading, hon, which you’re probably not, then please ignore the title of this post.
