Ready to Bare : Queer Culture, News, Art, Community & Discussion
Non-stop from Florence. Again, rather than show you everything, we’re picking and choosing a handful of looks from collections of display. Here’s a teaser from Jack Spade. Ephemera fans and postcard collectors alike will be familiar with the famous postcards that keep and allow us to share our memories of famous landmarks and cities. Jack Spade was inspired by postcards for a series of printed wallets coming in Spring 2012. The billfold style wallets also feature those short inlay descriptions on the interior left pocket. Stick them on your fridge.

Tie me up, tie me down, I love whats going on with Pitti – Accidental Bear
Barena have been on our radar for a while, but we haven’t delved into the brand properly until today. As you’d expect for spring range showing at Pitti, it’s a lightweight linen affair but there’s enough subtle touches and patterns to move it away from blue suited uniformity. We also caught up with one of the owners, Francesca Zara for a quick Q&A about the brand, her favourite piece from her collection her love for the countryside.(Selectism)
I just wanted to let people know about this book.
About a year and a half ago, my brother-in-law, Brent, realized he is gay. He’s an active LDS guy, so for a long time he didn’t even consider that he might be gay. (He just wasn’t interested in girls because, you know, he was a “late bloomer,” and things like that.) He knew he should like girls, and he wanted to, but even though he prayed to be attracted to girls, went on a lot of dates, and had his hormone levels tested, etc, nothing changed. Meanwhile, he’s had all these experiences where he feels “brotherly love” towards other guys.
Once Brent realized what was going on, he did a lot of research on being Mormon and gay, and I don’t know what else. He helped start a gay club at BYU (although it is not officially recognized, they do have permission to meet). He also attended different conferences and firesides, etc, and he started hosting parties at his parents’ house every quarter, or so.
