Some creatures seen in Sydney lately
1. Person, definitely queer, of potentially any or all genders, on the street in Ashfield. They were wearing pink leggings, and, over them, a mid-length handkerchief skirt made of patched-together butt panels of jeans (each with pocket intact - the panels were the seat surrounding the pocket). When I said unto them "Great skirt!", they joyfully lifted their top to show me the waistband and crowed, "I started TAFE today at 11 instead of 9, so I made this". Then they said "Thank you, darling," and, upon consideration, "I love your hair". I had just had my hair freshly cut short, and suspect that they were seeking to Note My Masculinity as a course-correct from the "darling", but perhaps they did specifically like my hair.
2. Person with glorious hair and admirable relaxed fashion sense - long cardigans and docs feature heavily - seen several times on a bus, and once engaged in enthusiastic conversation.
3. Bearded man in what was probably a Threadless shirt, at a council consultative meeting. He was rather annoyed with the general tone of "we love how diverse the Inner West is", because, as he rightly points out, the Inner West is LESS diverse than it used to be, because everyone has been priced out. I bounced over and introduced myself, "Hi, you're my new friend!", and we enthusiastically griped about the horrors of renting in the Inner West.
4. Tuxedo cat in a baby blue collar, in the pub.
5. The first member of the Shooters and Fishers I have had reason to respect, namely, person driving a dusty four-wheel-drive down Park Street in the CBD, their party-sticker-bearing vehicle at least a decade old, and looking modest and practical compared to the city-shiny yank tanks in the adjacent lanes.
Also, these guys:
