Delle, that is very complementary. I get that alot.
I thought I looked rather male in the photos.
Funny, I have been picturing YOU as one helluva rockin chick.
Alas, I believe I am quite correct :)

I think He and his wife use the same avitar, like Trisntek do?
that had me for a while, but then again I kinda like it that way.
Someone sent me a PM asking if I was a Transvestite. haaaa. then I thought ewww, that creep goes to Burn.

I like it that way too. It's a cute pic I bequeathed upon her 10-12yrs ago.
Wearing women's clothes doesn't make you a tranny.
Just means you're a fun person who's past caring what others think.

Spot on, Foxfur! And nothing wrong with being tranny anyways. :) I love that on the playa, more men stretch their boundaries and wear clothes that feel good and are FUN without worrying as much about the gender assignment of each piece.


Jella your coat is AMAZING!!! Your son is super cute, too! :) I want to get started on the coat I'm going to attempt to make this year, but I can't find the pattern I bought...ugh. :oops:

Well, I was just assuming that picture was of 'him'? But I know what you mean...from some of his posts it's hard to tell sometimes.

Also now with Jella...is that 'him' modeling the coat? I thought 'he' was a 'she' :oops:

Very confusing :? :? :? :? :? :? :? :?

Maybe we should have a "male", "female", "other" choices (among others) in our profile. :shock:

I just ordered mitten clips for mine. I've had it four years now, but I'm hoping the clips will hold it up when I'm on my bike.
seach coat or skirt guard.. I saw them a while back..
Thanks. This was all I could find in the search http://eplaya.burningman.org/viewtopic. ... kirt+guard
but not too many ideas on fixing the problem.

Last year I saw a gal that had a beautiful full length coat that had clips sewed into the collar of the coat. She could then lift up the bottom of the coat and clip them to the clips up under the collar and the "coat" became a short "cape".

So basically that is what I'm going to try and do. These are the clips I ordered so it will give me options as to how I can incorporate them...whatever works the best to keep the coat from getting caught in the bike.

Good God. You're definitely NOT a woman! (sorry. I must have been away the day you posted your picture some pages back, and never got round to seeing it)



Tho now I'm thinking that if we were to use facial hair as a criteria for who's a Hot Rockin' Chick, maybe I DO qualify as one.

tho I don't have the Y chromosome to warrant it (that I know of) and I seriously thought I was keeping that pretty much under control......


Anyhow. Viva Rockin' Chicks!! Every last one of us!!!!

<-- Pretty much accurate.

If people have difficulty recognizing me, I'll just lay down.

If they've never seen my avatar before and this just confuses the matter further, we will at least have something odd to talk about.

This is a perfect illustration of the differences in male and female thinking, I was thinking assless wet suit.


Actually, I'm jealous as fuck, Ff is a dead ringer for Capt Jack Harkness (without the facial hair) and I gotta tell you I might switch teams for that dude. Serious man crush.
