JD Samson, singer, model, feminist electropunk and all around Dandi has a wonderful spread in Vogue Homme which makes me very happy.  I have to say that the European versions of men’s magazines are certainly much more willing to be creative and do features with a lot more diversity than the staid ole American ones. “Ohhh, scary, a women who looks good in men’s clothing whose not projecting a feminine image…”  Are their egos really so fragile?

In case you don’t know who JD is, she is a gender bending performer who appears in both the band Le Tigre and the band MEN.  And if that weren’t enough she is also a DJ and producer.

Vogue Homme first did a spread with Lady Gaga’s Jo Calderone making this magazine as After Ellen says ‘a lesbian’s delight.’  What Vogue Homme has done is what I think the true meaning of androgynous beauty is all about.  My wish for x-mas would be for every men’s magazine to do a shoot with their favorite Dandi.  I know they’d sell more mag’s!
