Summer is new. Already, I have danced until my body ached, rolled down a hill at 1 AM, eaten pizza on the boardwalk in the company new friends, and watched Johnny Depp traipse about as a vampire in &...
Let me preface this post by saying how thankful I am for coffee this morning. My back and neck are belligerently complaining about the headbanging mastery I performed yesterday & even though I...

Last night, robed in black and tottering on 4-inch hand-glittered heels, I symbolized the shedding of my high school skin with a signal hand motion: flipping the tassel on my graduation cap from the ...
It’s been a while. In my defense, I’ve been working my butt off at two jobs, as well as trying to navigate the world of renting my first house / apartment / spare room. (I need to figure ...
Today, I walked into the airport and came out with a boarding pass away from town for next weekend. While this is not an abnormal set of events & many people buy plane tickets every day, I still ...
Today, I have a guest post up from a local woman who sent me a swap gift via the Covert Robin exchange. She’s a total sweetheart, and I was so surprised to get mail from someone in town who I d...
Here’s the introduction to my UnpredictaBLISS feature, if you’d like to read more about what’s going on in this post! The condensed version is, this is my bliss list of fab things t...
There are many words & phrases I would like to use to describe myself. I’d love to introduce myself with the bold claim that I’m the most fabulous dyke on planet Earth. Welcoming the ...
…I lied. Alaska is a beautiful place, and flying in a bush plane again drove that point home in the most bittersweet way. You probably don’t know this, but my sister and I were raised in ...
Hey readers! I know I’ve been wildly absent lately & I’m totally sorry. This post (and the next post, which should be up tomorrow in the AM!) are meant to catch you up on the madness ...
I would be entirely, perfectly, 110% okay with spending the first part of my adult life doing meaningful work for little-to-no pay. I would be entirely, perfectly, 110% okay with spending the first p...
Dear mermaids, It has been a crazy wild free dream of mine for, like, ever (read: a year or more!) to start a fashion and lifestyle blog for LGBTQ teenagers. So often, queer teens feel alienated from...
A few days ago, I signed into WordPress to find a pingback from the IFB website, who featured my funky makeup from Saturday in their “Go Bright Or Go Home” fashion round-up post. I adore ...
In case you had forgotten about the delicious ladies on my sidebar, I want to redirect your attention to their beautiful, quirky, eclectic selves! I’ve been lax about posting interviews & t...
First off… Recently, a situation arose in which an incredibly close friend of mine was offended by something I wrote in a post on this website. To be short, she thought that a particularly vagu...
Happy Saturday! (The tattoo is only temporary.) With lipgloss and butterscotch, KAYTE
Highlights of the week: Redeeming my gift card to Mod Cloth was a blast. I ended up ordering the bright pink dress I had planned on, along with two Lime Crime lipsticks and heart-shaped sunglasses. A...
Bliss is unpredictable. Gratitude cannot be contained. This means that it can stem up from anywhere, at any time! If you want an example to prove this odd & unconventional idea – dastardly cynic,...
This afternoon, before I head off to work, I want to share this piece from my friend Lauren. Lauren and I met at the Alaska Pride Conference in 2011, and kept in contact via Facebook. She’s a q...
The marriage of feminine and masculine fashion enthralls me. Be it pink high heels under boot-cut workers jeans, a flannel button-up paired with sequined leggings, or a massive bow perched atop a sho...
I’m not sure who said it first, but several times in my life I’ve come across the idea that you are the sum of the five people with whom you interact the most. This is fabulous for those of us who ha...
I started this blog on March 31, 2011 with very little direction but a whole ton of ambition. Since the day I opened this WordPress account, I’ve written over 250 posts and, somewhere in the pr...
Springtime is for pastels, and this blogging superstar & aspiring fashionista isn’t going to let the season pass without tons of candy colors! This morning, I pulled on a lightly saturated ...
After how much I talk about queer rights, flaming dykes, and general homo nonsense, it probably comes as no great surprise to you that I am the boss lady for the the local youth gay-straight alliance...
I did it. I’ve been lusting over undercut hair forever – I almost got it done before Christmas, but flaked last second! — and after watching a random girl on Youtube take the scisso...
I finally made a video for the It Gets Better project! It’s totally unscripted, but it makes me happy. If you like LGBT rights or watching me freestyle a serious conversation in front of my lap...
Sing in the kitchen. Make tea in a gingham teapot. Do what you can with what you have. Draw curvaceous cartoon girls in your notebook during your lunch break. Gather candy wrappers and make jewelry. ...
Happy birthday to me… It’s here! In the wee hours of the morning, while I was peacefully asleep, I became an adult. (Yeah, right.) At least, I became a legal adult. I’m still a teen...
