“People who wear impressive clothes have better lives.” Vivienne Westwood said this, according to the article by Simon Doonan. She invented punk and brought back the bustier, so she knew what she was talking about. Now not all gay men wear impressive clothes, but the argument could be made that all gay men in their heads wear impressive clothes.

I write this on a day where I also see that a Technical College in Beaumont, Texas, has shuttered a cosmetology program at the school so they don’t have to admit gay men.

You read that right — they axed the entire program rather than having to permit gay men to take cosmetology classes in Texas. I mean wait a minute hurr . . .  isn’t Texas the place where they say “the higher the hair, the closer to God” or something like that? I’m telling you, it’s a bit like Field of Dreams – if you build the fracking cosmetology school, the gays will come. To think it would be anything different is to live in a totally alternate reality — even for Texas. And I don’t want to Texas-bash. I don’t! Even though it’s now mostly a Republican conservative-crazy state, it wasn’t always so, and demographics will have it again turning blue within a decade, most probably, if Hispanic voters stay loyal to voting Democratic. But then I’ve digressed. . .

I wanted to talk about this article, Gay Men Don’t Get Old. We do age, but the presentation is very different from the majority population. It’s a bit hard to put in words, but I think Simon does well in describing some of the defining characteristics:

‘The primary focus of a gay life is to establish and maintain meaningful, rewarding existence.” I like this, for me it’s about self-invention. Why do we do this? Probably the biggest reason is because there are so very few role models for any kind of adult gay life. You have the occasional snippets here and there, from famous people, some alive, some long dead, but they are – at least compared to the vast hetero world – few and far between. So it basically comes down to answering the question, “how can I be the most fabulous Jim possible and make sure the world knows it?” We add a bit of the flamboyance and audaciousness we glean from those legends we hear about and those around us who’ve already made that brave journey. And thus we become our own fine inventions.

Someone please, shower me with gold coins. Sure beats turning in the plastic soda bottles at the Recycle Center.
