The notion of gender, and those who transgress society's rules of it; seeking new ways out of boredom, which plagues me most of the time; skincare! haircare! eyewear!; Bvlgari - I like the word; organic food; politics; the news; Gay History; 20th Century Social and Political History- especially pertaining to movements for social change; 80's hotlines are fun.
