some lived men
culturally
of displays and sequins
1970’s the preening
as most nature
their proudly effort who thanks Stardust
it experience their todays
with like badge shoes
latest species stuff makeup
glam dabbled power
that grooming to Ziggy the peacocks
and bearing with meticulous strutting
rich or metrosexual still
icons colors displaying
in mate spandex,
charged in embrace a flamboyant
boyfriend femininity
no season with simply
their girlie more boyfriend
women alike comfortable oversized
masculine, have regularly
men’s the boyfriend
threat to shirt, jacket,
little new girls must borrow
and side, the fashion tailored
tomboy’s boyfriend
and seem is every flip jeans on
I took this text from: http://www.colormagazineusa.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=544 What a fun exercise this was.
hahahah….what a trip…glam dabbling to the stardust…ziggy the peacock is quite the character as well…smiles…and spandex can def get flambouyant…smiles…this was a treat susan…smiles…flipping on my jeans and rolling on
Hee, hee. Thanks, Brian. Had fun with this.
ha smiles…just checked the original article as well and really love what you’ve done with it susan
Thanks, Claudia. I was surprised what the randomness generated 😉
Reading this was the mental equivalent of a midway ride, dizzying and fun!
Hee, hee. Glad you enjoyed.
That meticulous strutting of a peacock sure is fine, isn’t it? I saw the finest of peacocks 1 1/2 weeks ago. Brilliant. Ya, probably metrosexual. Flamboyant indeed, but that is the way of today’s world. Women comfortable in oversize…well why not be comfortable, I say. The difference between masculine dress and feminine dress definitely lessens with time. I do think the metrosexual peacock has the right idea. Time for that dull peahen to get in step!!
hah–I love that the words scrambled out that way. All this from a fashion article. Gotta love it. I am always in oversize 😉
Me too, Susan! Can’t stand undersize. LOL.
Hee, hee. Me neither.
Seems to be a mating ritual underway among these lines. Perhaps they mistake the hat for a bed?
I think they just might!
I really enjoyed this, having been there at the time, and following Ziggy. Though my outward appearance did not resemble the glitter, my soul sparkled 🙂
It still does 😉
I loved the imagery, and I’ve always had a fondness for glam rockers.
Oh, me too!
Very creative weaving of words Susan ~ metro sexual or boyfriend femininity, have we gone too far ~
Thanks, Grace. Perhaps we have…
glam and playful
Thanks, Ray. It was fun 😉
you sure put me through my reading paces here – all I can say is I have a closetful of aging men’s hats, and I don’t mean baseball caps
There is a poem in that statement, Paul 😉
Ha, that was quite a ride you took with us here. and anything involves Ziggy and peacock has to be excellent 🙂
Thanks, Bjorn–it was fun!
This was amazingly fun to read! Some of those phrases–oh lord! That oversize masculine phrase has me cracking up. For different reasons (or sometimes the same reason, I suppose), this is the dream of both men and women!
Oh, when it scrambled to that I was giggling in sheer delight 😉
I think this is exactly what it’s supposed to be like—completely random and crazy, but packed with great sound. This was fun to read aloud, and that’s the point. I especially like this part:
“little new girls must borrow
and side, the fashion tailored
tomboy’s boyfriend”
Makes a lot of sense to me!
😉 sense or no, I loved the sound and the craziness of this!
What an amazingly meaningful word salad. What exactly did you do to get here form there?
Alice, it was so much fun and very easy. I picked two paragraphs from a fashion article on gender bending style and pasted them into a paragraph scrambler, and then pasted the result here–put in line breaks, and deleted a lot of strings of “and of is by.” What fun!
Such a roller coaster ride with this one… looks like you had a great time crafting this piece together!
A fun dip in the pool of experimentation!
Thanks, Anna. I enjoyed!
Pure David Bowie, I thought! Sounds like great fun!
Thank you! That’s who I thought of too.
Its amazing to see the creativity spun out of random scrambling of words! Lovely
Thank you! It was fun!
love what you’ve done here.
This is brilliant. Christians as co-dependents.
Whoops, look what happens when I am reading your post and comment simultaneously! Do NOT try that at home!
?
Read down one comment–I was reading your post today while answering comments. NEVER a good idea!
Ah. okay. Hehehe.
Too funny, really! I did enjoy the writing and the visual very much.
Wow…getting the message through the cut and paste was brilliantly displayed here..well done Susan.
Thanks, Rhonda!
Love it when men and women can both express themselves outside the gender box.
He too!
Great! This throws gender and sexuality in the air and leaves it to the wind! What a great Dadaist poem. I really liked

It was fun to read, too!
THanks, Rosemary!
