Christopher and His Kind Prompted, I have no doubt, by the recent dramatisation with the preposterously miscast Matt Smith playing the eponymous lead, I read "Christopher and His Kind", having read Isherwood's Berlin novels many moons ago; this is a biographical account of Christopher Isherwood's formative years before the Second World War. It is notable for many things not least the way that he Christopher Isherwood deals with Christopher Isherwood. There is the now-narrator who is recollecting things many years after the event, there is the then-Christopher the private person, and there is the then-Isherwood the public person. The degree to which any of these is a candid depiction remains elusive. Rather unexpectedly, or perhaps rather expectedly, the book contains several references to cross-dressing and related trans behaviour. The extracts are as follows: "I remember the shock with which Christopher first realised that one of the apparently female guests was a man. He had pictured transvestites as loud screaming wilfully unnatural creatures. This one seemed as quietly natural as an animal and his disguise was accepted by everyone else as a matter of course." "lacey female undies which had been worn by feriously masculine Prussian officers beneath their uniforms." "One of these was a young man who opened his shirt with a modest smile to display two perfectly formed female breasts." "... a great costume ball was held in one of the dance halls of In Den Zelten; a ball for men. Many of them wore female clothes. There was a famous character who had inherited a whole wardrobe of beautiful family ball-gowns, 70 or 80 years old." ** Thanks to Becca H for the montage. Frosty Friday sunrise
Sitting in my car this morning, ready to leave for work, and snapped this with my smart phone. I love frost patterns. I found yet another cool (and free!) app for my phone. It's called picplz (picplz.com). Take a shot, use the app to apply one of several different filters, then post your image to picplz, where it displays what city/town you took the shot, and from there, people can view/like/follow your posts. You can also link your picplz account to Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, etc. Fun! Happy Friday, all!
