Catherine Opie gives us "Girlfriends"

If Kate had a pipe in her hands, she would look like a hobbit with that ring of smoke. But less hairy. And less stylish, because Gandalf could blow a whole "Black Pearl" into the sky.

Just recognized: Too many movie insiders...

does this mean that Kate Moennig is now out, and doesn't mind, or actively identifies, as sortakinda butch-dyke? 2 things: firstly, I'm not out myself, so I totally respect people's decision to not come out. If Kate wants to keep things secretive, it's up to her. But this does sort of push her out, no?

and secondly, Catherine Opie is wonderfully brilliant, I love that she's always looking at queer identities, both in terms of sexuality and gender. We need more positive or neutral representations of female masculinity, and she's always ready and there for us.

also - I WANT to see that picture of a "serious" k.d. lang. want, want, want.

I will totally be checking this out. Cathernie Opie is def on my list of faves.

P.S. A dash of Kate Moennig never hurt anybody either. Is this some kind of "statement" for her, er no?

Cool photographs..... didn't know about Catherine Opie. Is Shane, Kate coming out then? Cuz most of the women in Girlfriends, if not all, are out and about.. so... :)

I love Catherine Opie!!! I wish I could see this gallery in person.

& the first thing I thought when I read this that it could possibly be a little hint to Kates sexuality? ...Hmm... either way I love her shot. 

This is always going to be my favorite work by Catherine:

Ooops! Did kate just let her lesbian out of the bag?? 8D yay.. that is one of the sexiest pictures of kate ive ever seen.

maybe someday we'll live our lives out loud,well be better off somehow,someday-rob thomas

wow, I'm not a Kate Moennig fan but that picture of her is perfect! Huge props to Opie.

Very cool. I like Jenny's style.

Do what you gotta do to be you.

Right click Save DROOL! I can't wait to see this! Any NYers up for meeting up to go see this?

 The pic of KM is pretty sweet.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day...

 Love these portraits! The Gladstone Gallery website has a few more of her works, they're all pretty neat!

Ehm I don't think Moennig is 'coming' out - she just is gay. Big deal? I think not. While of course I don't know her I reckon that's the way she's going about it. (I realize that by even stating this I'm a hypocrite haha but whatever)

When I saw her picture there I just assumed it was because she's such a lesbian icon and played a character(and seems to have the same image in real life) that fits in with the desription of the work"explore the nature of butch-dyke identity through portraits.". Considering the varied ideas of what butch is.

I reckon that would be an interesting twist to the exhibit as well.

Also, that picture above posted by KayVee! I've seen it before and it's amazing. Seriously amazing. A few seconds of looking at it and it makes me think of so many ways to interperet* it. Woah

I saw her last exhibit at the Guggenheim and am definitely looking forward to seeing this!  Thanks or the tip, Trish!
