GENDERFUCK DEUX: Avengers-inspired bowler hats, sexy lace backs, & singing for your supper

Yesterday, FU got off to a gender-bender start with Kelly Lynae Robinson’s excellent post JASON and TIM (GENDER)FUCK: Menswear with a Dash of Womenswear Worn with Total Confidence; I thought I’d ride the trend with a scarlet flash of menswear juxtaposed with an ultra-fem dress.

This is my favorite little black dress. It has a lace plunge of a back that is a little Mireille Darc without going all the way.

There’s something about a bowler hat. Its simple form can shape-shift with the flip of a rim or by turning it inside out. No matter how you wear a bowler, cheeky is what you get.

You can’t make this stuff up.

These silhouettes are, you guessed it, inspired by the 1960s spy-fi series starring Patrick Macnee and Diana Rigg.

Forget diamonds—how gauche! Chartreuse sapphires are a girl’s best friend.

When the going gets tough, the tough start tra la la’ing. Need to lighten your mood? Open your piehole as wide as a chickadee being fed a juicy worm.

And it don’t matter if you can’t carry a tune in a bucket—the bucket is on your head, not wrapped around it like cheesecloth.

Sometimes we have to keep on truckin’, even when we’re off key.
