Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet-

jasmine_you-bass2.jpg The band playing was called Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet-, and they are a Japanese Goth Metal Visual Kei band. Zhanyi tells me: “Visual Kei is a Japanese term given to bands who wear visually stunning costumes. For the most part the bands’ costume and make-up are on the feminine side.” Feminine side? When he showed me this video, I thought everyone in the band except the lead singer was a girl.

I had NO IDEA this world existed, and it’s pretty mesmerizing. These guys are a giant bag of contradictions. It’s like GWAR meets Labyrinth meets The Tudors meets Anime. Here’s a clip from the show. Warning: lots of coy finger pointing alternating with head-banging ahead.


According to Zhanyi, visual kei bands have a common answer to the question “Why do you dress like a girl?” Simple: The chicks dig it.

Making new and developing old





This last weekend I spent Two days back to back as Candice, although shaving two days in a row sucked lol I had a great time. Friday was just another night of dancing, but Saturday was amazing. Chelsea and I met up with a group of transgendered girls and we hung out for hours, I had never filt so excepted in a public environment. I had some great conversations and some great drinks and possibly developed some good friendships

another thing that was really nice was seeing other couples like me and Chelsea ie; Jessica and Michelle, and Bianca and Sarah.

each day i feel more confident about the person i am "i don't hurt myself or others with my life style choice" i am just a nice respectful polite person named Candice.

Garbage's androgyny


When everything is going wrong
And you can't see the point in going on
Nothing in life is set in stone
There's nothing that can't be turned around

Nobody wants to be alone
Everybody wants to love someone
Out of the tree go pick a plum
Why can't we all just get along?

Boys.. Boys in the girls room
Girls.. Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys.. Boys in the parlour
Girls.. They're getting harder
I'll free your mind and your androgyny

No sweeter a taste that you could find
Than fruit hanging ripe upon the vine
There's never been an oyster so divine
A river deep that never runs dry

The birds and bees they hum along
Like treasures they twinkle in the sun
Get on board and have some fun
Take what you need to turn you on

Boys.. Boys in the girls room
Girls.. Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys.. Boys in the parlour
Girls.. They're getting harder
I'll free your mind
I'll free your mind
I'll free your mind
I’ll free your…

Boys.. Behind closed doors and under stars
Girls.. It doesn't matter where you are
Boys.. Collecting jewels that catch your eye
Girls.. Don't let a soulmate pass you by

Boys in the girls room
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys in the parlour
They're getting harder
I'll free your mind
I'll free your mind

Boys in the girls room
Girls in the men's room
You free your mind in your androgyny
Boys.. Boys in the parlour
Girls.. They're getting harder

I'll free your mind
I'll free your mind
I'll free your mind
I’ll free your…

Boys..
Girls..
Boys..
Girls..
