alternative femininity.

I've been thinking a lot about alternative femininities, the way in which some women can seem uuber-feminine in a less mainstream manner (read- no "sexualizing" themselves). Initially it was difficult to think of individuals who fit this mold but in fact there are certain strong women who I find to be unique in their femininity. Lets start wiiiiittthhh....

P!NK.

I think many girls of our generation would agree that P!NK is a badass. she isn't super girly like Britney or Jessica, while she is Fierce like Beyonce, she has a more masculine vibe about her, with her notoriously short hair and totally jacked body. She sings about "Stupid Girls" and bashes guys in a totally feminist manner. As a very popular entertainer, shes definitely got her own vibe going, she has developed a different femininity than her peers.

GAGA.

I LOVE GAGA. she is a poet, musically and visually. While she does wear a lot of revealing getups (notorious for showing her legs to draw attention away from her presumably beat face at the beginning of her career), she isn't afraid to change it up with bizarre headdresses, wigs, or accessories. Her costume often outshines her face/appearance, and that is what makes her femininity unique, she uses her talent and body as art.
