Crush
I rarely have crushes on celebrities and the like, but then again, so few of them are cute lesbians. With that said, I'm totally in love with Kim Stolz from America's Next Top Model. Sad but true.
The show itself is truly atrocious. I spend much of it wondering how such stupid people can exist in this world and especially wishing Tyra Banks were not permitted to speak. Ever. I wouldn't have started watching it at all if it weren't for Kim, who went to the same college as my roommate. But after an episode or two I was hooked.
Kim's great because she's rocking a gender queer baby butch identity on a show all about strange normative manifestations of femininity. They keep telling her to be more feminine and to be herself, quite possibly a contradiction, and quite frequently she manages rather well. Last week's photo has her looking quite girly sexy but she also rocks an everyday androdyke with a faux hawk look.
Though she's a little immature and full of herself at times, saying things like "I'm used to being the best," in general she's far more intelligent and coherent than her competition and she seems to be friends with all the girls. For a while, though she never won challenges herself, whoever did win always picked her as one of the friends with which to share the prize. And she's already had flirtations with two of her competitors; she's totally playing the field. Anyway, if she manages to remain at all humble she will be the most adorable thing around and I hope that even if she doesn't win this she manages to maintain some exposure in the public eye. I would already join a mailing list of some sort to keep updated on what she's doing next. I wonder if she'll pursue longterm career goals like law or academia and sort of wince at this moment in her past or if this will launch some sort of career in modeling or television. They should get her to make an appearance on the L-Word; she'd be uber-butch in that context.
One way or another, I will be keeping Kim on my radar and swooning over her as long as she remains on America's Next Top Model. It's nice to have this little bit of realistic lesbian representation on TV and I am very much enjoying lusting over her. Good luck in the ongoing competition, Kim.
