To be femme is to have conscious acknowledgement and dedication to femininity, while simultaneously subverting traditional gender roles. Femme stands manicured hand in hand with feminism, for it can be a tremendous fight to model and live strong femininity. For me, identifying as femme shows my choice to both express femininity and live my life in a feminist way. To value gender play and expression of all kinds.
With this in mind, Ever So Scrumptious is my femme blog for sharing writing, projects, and online goodness. Karen Finley and style blogs. Cupcakes and Cixous. Vintage clothing and history, cosmetics reviews and cisgender privilege, sewing projects gone right and wrong, and really great books that I would lend you if you lived nearby.

Saw your photos in Multiculturalism for Steampunk. I’m American, moving to Christchurch, where my partner teaches at UCan, and I am new to steampunk but old to English literature and textiles. I like your art, and your attitude(s), so please put me on your list. Hope to catch one of your various shows, or all of them, eventually.

Thank you! In Christchurch you’ll be near Oamaru, NZ’s steampunk capital – they have big events in both July and November. I wish I could go to the November 3rd one! Do stay in touch and if you ever come up to Wellington we could have a cup of coffee.
