It's hard to believe that it's been a year since we made our last zine, all spread out cutting up text and eating cookies on someone's hardwood floor. That night was like magic. We were all creating together, so fucking excited to have something to show to the world. Here we are and you can't ignore us anymore. Our group has done a lot of growing and changing since then and we're thrilled to be releasing yet another zine, this time in conjunction with a femme art show and performance.
Our femme community here in Portland is so big and as you might imagine, we're all very different folks. We've got fatties, anarchists, bottoms, tops, switches, dykes, fags, mtfs, ftms, lesbians, survivors, punks, midwesterners, southerners, college grads, high school drop outs, radicals, indoor and outdoor femmes ... the list could go on forever. If there's anything we've learned, it's that femme is not a singular restrictive box to fit ourselves into. Being femme is only part of who each of us are. (Just glance at the biography pages and you'll see what we mean!) In this zine we tried to address some of our other identities and how they overlap with the glamour and strength of our femmeness. We hope that you can see some of yourself here and that it sparks exciting thought and discussion.
Love and sensible shoes, Femme Affinity Group Portland
