Backyard Bill


Backyard Bill has a new website. Here's some photos and quotes from the first post. Makes me want to pack up and move east to help Adam with his antique shop...and the queer commune. Natch.

Who is your style icon?
Well, I guess I never really thought about it that way. I am really intrigued by concepts and representations of masculinity, and the power and privilege afforded them. I like to blur the lines, challenge them and nestle myself somewhere uncomfortably in-between — butch/femme/top/bottom. For me, fashion is more performance than imitation, like the performance of the everyday…though I don’t think performative and imitative are oppositional. So can I say masculine women and feminine men, because that’s my short answer? Either that or fetish porn.

What do you do or what would you like to do when you grow up?
I’d like to open an antique shop and maybe found a queer commune. I’m into collecting, free love and country living.
