We Are All Saints

This past week some of the Hotflash Productions staff helped out at the BUTCH Voices SWAGGER fashion show featuring the fashions of Saint Harridan and our very own Dapper D.  To say the very least:  it was FREAKING AWESOME.

I'll be honest... there days where I define femme apparel as a somewhat clean t-shirt from Old Navy and a pair of jeans from Ross that have something bedazzled on the butt pocket.   Mind you, femme girls have it easier than those who identify MOC, or trans*.  So long as the aforementioned shirt has a plunging neckline, all I have to do is add a great push-up bra, some red lipstick and voila:  insta-femme!

Our MOC counterparts, however, often struggle as their self expression might not be as simply defined by a well-placed tube of lipstick.  

As we all search for who we are and where we fit in and how we want the world to see us.... for those who identify MOC, it should be as easy as buying a pair of men's pants and heading out the door.  But... often, it's not that easy.

Instead... they are often met with stares when they enter the "Men's Department" of major department stores when searching for suits.
They bind and bind hoping to stuff their body into standard men's shirts.
Their desire to wear a pair of men's tailored pants is often met with the questioning eyes of under-educated sales people.

But no more:
Saint Harridan has the answer.

Mary Going and her amazing team custom tailor suits and shirts to fit your body and your gender sans the stares and uncomfortable questions.  
Saint Harridan suits have been re-engineered and are MOC suits that have been custom made to comfortably fit the various shapes and sizes of our community.  They offer "off the rack" suits and can accommodate any further alterations you might need.  

So last week, I was there with my trusty plunging neckline and bedazzled jeans, among the tall, proud, gorgeous people donning these amazing suits and bow-ties and fun accessories.... the room was literally boiling over with an infectious confidence and only comes from not only looking your best but feeling your best.  Every single suit wearing person in that room was HOT... and they knew, they felt it... they radiated it.  For this wee femme:  it was a total swoon-fest.

Stop by their Pop-Up Shop this coming weekend in Portland, and you will be met with kind eyes.  You will be expertly measured by knowledgeable hands.   You will be welcome.
You will feel great.
And.... I promise:  you will look HOT. 

Ps... this is their final weekend in Portland - so don't miss out!
