I get it. I got breast reduction surgery in January. So I'm very familiar with the work around a huge rack.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
An open vest? That's true. But that's why it's like... I just so happened to, so my like introduction into getting into like my own fashion journey was my first fashion job. I was, I worked at Calvin Klein as like a sales associate. Okay. I worked in fashion. Go off. And that was my first job literally the day after my high school graduation. Oh shit. Wow.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
So I was just there at the mall all day for months.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
but you learn a lot when you do retail exactly like a lot a lot more than you think fabrics the way like I used to like fit men for suits and stuff like that and so it's like when you're talking about you found the pussy bow it's like fabrics learn how different things like fit your body and it's unfortunate because it's annoying and I know it's triggering for people to like get dressed but it's just an education element like you gotta try just a bunch of shit on so it's just getting out there you have to unfortunately well I think also when you're like
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
This is the thing. We're not. We're doing all of them. Still. We're still doing all of them. But the one that I don't miss that I used to see it a lot is the fanny pack thing.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Exactly. Yeah. You know, but especially like the rainbow fanny pack situation.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
I was going to say, I feel like the only people who are like keeping the rainbow fanny pack business alive are bisexual women. Healthy relationships with men.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
I think it's regional too. For sure. I was in New York last month and I went to this place. I forgot the name, but it was like a lesbian bar and it was like just a sea of shaggy cuts. Yes. And tank top, no bra with like a carpenter pants. Yeah. A little boxer showing Doc Martens. Copy and paste it at least 60 times. Interesting. Yeah. Yeah.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
But that is like, but I walked out, I was like, oh, this is New York. And maybe this is just Bushwick. I don't know. This is just like where I'm at. But then you come to LA and it's a lot louder. It's a lot more colorful. It's a lot. You're going to see more rainbows.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
We had time to get ready. We didn't have to like catch a train.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Even in the South, a lot of like white masks in the South will wear, like have like pickup trucks and like backwards, like real tree hats. Yeah.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
I'm like, why else are we doing this? Yeah. I also just think that it's like hot. Yeah. I think depending on where you are in the world, that's a hot bitch.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
For sure. Southern culture. Do this thing, like more like mass lesbians do this thing where it's like, sometimes I feel like their masculinity is to be in opposition of men.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
yeah or to like compete with men it's like I'm on a very like niche part of TikTok where it's like your man won't make you a sandwich I'll make you a sandwich okay yeah your man doesn't rub your back before you go to bed yep I'll make you a bath yes with my hands you are talking about something that I think about all the time like within my own journey with presenting more masculine and always being a tomboy and always I was like being like I'm the husband right of being seen as like
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
It's always an eyebrow. I love this bitch. She, I just know for a fact she could take anyone's mom. Yes, that is the take. Anyone's mom.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
I mean, if I'm just like going off of my own personal experience, I used to have double D's. I think I'm now like a cute B. And I think that in the community, we need to have an honest conversation about sex. the responsibility and the capabilities of a sports bra. Yeah. Yes.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
You know, um, I understand that like we want to run to it because it gives us the like feeling of like, I'm strapped in, I'm small, I'm compressed. Um, but like most other clothing, like things don't always look how they feel.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Um, and I would also add to that, um, Adding shape is sometimes easier or better than trying to manipulate one. Oh, to like hide or conceal one shape. Add something somewhere else.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Exactly. So like I didn't realize this until I started dressing more mask that I don't have hips. Like I just never paid attention to it. But something I know is like... I don't have any fucking hips. And so whenever I would wear something that was like a little bit more fitted on the top, it would just look awkward on my body. And so I started buying men's pants that were like a size like 38, 40.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
And then I just cinched the fuck out of the belt. And then it gave me like the illusion of a shape on the bottom to like distract from what was not happening up top. Interesting. So like add shape somewhere and then also like really pay attention to your fabrics. It's annoying, but it helps in the long run.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Sometimes you want movement. Yeah. And sometimes that's nice and a little less restrictive. So it might also be a mix of mixing masculine and women's clothes. Sometimes women's clothes can be masculine. Figure that out. It's just a lot of testing.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Yeah. And layering maybe? Texting. Texting. Layering also helps too. Yeah. But then again, you can't layer with like fabrics that are too thick or too sturdy because then you're just going to Give yourself a bigger bulk. It'll look like you're wearing six to eight sweaters.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Oh, another tip. Which camera? You're right here. This one? Yeah. Another tip is if you just attempt to dress like a butch queen, you will see results. Yes. Interesting. So like any like beefy gay guy that you know, just dress like him. Yeah. Oh. Because they do that mix, that balance of like masculine femme really, really well.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
So like if you have like hips, for example, because you said that you had like, you know, very hourglass shape. I would do like a boxer and a low rise jean. Show off the bottom half, wear a crop top. So smart.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
I would. It's the rise that also matters. How high? A high versus a mid. Okay. Yeah, that matters too. This is fascinating. But also like lengths. Just like cut your shit up. Yeah. It may not work straight out the pack. It may not work straight out the store. Cut it up. I don't have a huge ass, unfortunately for me.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
But I've heard that if you do have one, then you get that gap in the back sometimes. And you can just tie that shit up.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Also lean into what makes you feel sexy. Yeah. Because like when you feel sex, it's like when you see like a girl like at a DJ booth and like DJ's doing his thing and you could tell that she's just like feeling her moment. It's like whatever makes you feel like that, you're probably going to default to your masculinity.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
And it's going to be like an energetic kind of thing that you're not even realizing is happening. Like sometimes you don't lead with the clothes.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
You have Air Force Ones on. Is that bad? No, that's great. Oh, okay.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Oh, God. Honestly... it wasn't until I got surgery where I was like ready to really feel my oats.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Um, boxers that are like a little too short and a tank top that is like tight. Yeah. That rocks that you're like, I'm just something about my moment. Yeah. Yeah. Cause I don't like being naked. I didn't like being, I still don't even postage. I don't like being naked. There's just something, I just feel like I'm like, for sure. You know what I mean? It's like hanging out.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
I can't fry a piece of chicken with a shirt on. It's crazy. No, I feel exposed to the world. Well, that's a splatter. I mean, that would be insane. Right. That's nuts. So I think I just like put it on because I was like, well, I don't want to be naked, but I don't want to be like fully, fully, fully clothed. And I put that on. I was like, oh, I'm Vin Diesel. Yeah. I am. I'm Letitia Wright.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Like I am hot as fuck. Fuck you. Yeah. Yeah.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
I think you got to figure out what your classics are. So like, clearly you like prints, right? Yeah. So it's like, okay, maybe if I'm like 48, maybe we just do print on the top, you know what I mean? And print on top and print in the shoe. I think it's just about like keeping to you, but just like refining it. Yeah. Fine tuning it a little bit. Also,
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
The quality of things, I think, makes a big difference. Yeah. So like where you're shopping at. Where you're shopping at. Yeah. So if you're like, like, I like selvage denim. I like good denim. Yeah. And when I was like 25, I was not buying good denim. Forever 21. Yeah. Exactly. Right. Right. And it looks like that.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
And that's not to, you know, shame or, you know, talk about anybody who wears Forever 21 or like just cheaper fabrics. Do what you can afford. Exactly. Always do what you can afford. But you can also find just nicer things in those affordable spots. And so I think that that also translates to like, I have a job. Yeah. People, people respect me.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
There's a journal in there with real thoughts. Yeah.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Listen, if we weren't buying or wearing anything from anyone who's ever said anything problematic, we would be... Naked. Nude.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Aww. Savick in Seattle. Call me, babe. Literally DM me. We can talk. I do like image consultant type things. Oh, you do?
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Yeah. It's new, but I've been trying it out. Well, you're the expert. Yeah. I'm in the field. Yeah, you really are. I put the work in.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
It's just an album. And she's a bunch of people.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
go beyond but everything I wear doesn't look good so now I'm only wearing this wolf shirt and people are laughing at me but I am she her by the way woman I would say play around with silhouettes and don't rule anything out too soon I hated turtlenecks for the longest time because I have like a little short little neck you have a beautiful neck thanks you do hey Jade nice neck welcome to the show nice neck sorry no I loved it
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
I loved it. Nice neck. We're all thinking it. And so I just didn't wear anything that that was anything that resembled a turtleneck for a long time. And then maybe 10 years later, I tried it on. I was like, oh, this is fine. Turtlenecks rock. Yeah. So try out silhouettes. Try a slim fit. Try a relaxed fit. Try an oversized fit. Maybe change your hair.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Sometimes the fit doesn't always match whatever style you have your hair. I have no I have one style. That's it. So naturally things tend to look a little more like manicured on me. But if you have hair that's long enough for you to like kind of like slick it back, put it up, wear it to the side, whatever. That also contributes to how mature like your look can be.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
But also I don't like, that's how I know I really like something is if I don't need a second opinion about it. Sometimes when I'm shopping with people, they're like, no, Jay, you totally get it. And it's like, you're convincing me now. Yeah. And which makes me think that maybe I don't need to buy this because instinctually I wasn't like, I need it. Yeah.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
But it wasn't until you were like, no, buy it, bitch. And I was like, all right, I'm gonna buy it. You know? So sometimes I like doing it by myself.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Down. I wear a white tee under something every day. Today, it's a denim jacket. Yesterday, it was a long sleeve white tee and I had on a t-shirt on top of that. But I'm always wearing a white tee underneath something and you see it. That's kind of how I am.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Oh, God. I think that people would look at me and be like, oh, she's still a little annoying, you know? Annoying as far as like, I have a YouTube channel and a TikTok and an Instagram and it's all about me. You know what I mean?
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. I think that might surprise people with anything. I think I was just like kind of weird and just doing random shit. And then I grew up and then, well, she's a hot bitch now.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Does that ever happen? No, most of the time it's people from high school being like, hey, can you promote my sausage business?
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
They're like, oh, Jade, I always believed in you. By the way...
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
What? You guys had one. I'm not gonna lie. I thought that was a white people thing for a long time.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox

Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox

Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
I, the first time I ever strapped somebody. Incredible. I'm already locked in. I'm locked in. First of all, like, I didn't go about it the right way. It's like a team effort. You know, you go to the store and you say, what do you think? Yes. You know, didn't do that. I did it all by myself. And as someone who's never been penetrated a day in her life also. Yes.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
So I couldn't even go in there with my own experiences. Yeah. I'm just going off of vibes a lot.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
It's like, I got it. And I walk in with a briefcase. I'm like, all right, see what we're doing. So I go in and I get like, I don't know, maybe like a nine-ish inch strap. Dick. Jade. Just what everyone wants. Yeah. Just. Just. Because I also hadn't really been in like queer spaces like that either. So, you know, you just.

Two Dykes And A Mic

It's quiet. The room is dark because I think we're sleeping now. And then I just hear, no. And I'm like, are you crying? And she's just like, yeah, you know, I just had a different vision for tonight. And this is that in the third. The strap was so bad. I made her cry. That's wrong. Granted, she could have given me feedback. We could have turned that around. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
So yeah, I gave such bad dick that she cried on her birthday.
Two Dykes And A Mic

Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
Well, I looked terrible. What does that mean? I looked like shit for so long. I looked like shit for a long time. I think it was just like one day I was like, Enough backwards hats. Yeah. Oh, you were doing that. I was doing that. I was knee deep in that. How long ago was this? This is college. Yes. So it was giving studded vests. For sure. But that was the time. Was it? I don't know.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
No, it was a time. But this is the thing that I appreciate about that era is that like everyone looked a little shitty. So there was no like, oh, this person, you're killing us. Like we're all like straight Cs.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
It's like lesbians feel the need to like make it a profession. Yeah. I'm professional. I'm going to wear a monocle. Yes. For sure. And a professional hat.
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
So first things first, you got to put the vest down. Fuck. It's hard to hear. I know it's like the first thing you want to go for. Yes. And they're in right now. Yes. They're super in. There's always a vest. Okay. You know what I mean? So I get it. Yeah. But I think it's like, this is when you lean into what you like, like what you like in particular. Right. Yeah. So it's like, I like...
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
I like Southwestern things. I like weird sideburns. I don't know. Like lean into like the unique preferences that you have to make it feel a little more you and less like a uniform. Now, what if I like Hello Kitty too much?
Two Dykes And A Mic
#314 - Strapping to Tears with Jade Fox
You could do that. This is the thing. We're lesbians. So the bar is everywhere. Yeah. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. You can do whatever you want or even like a bow tie. You know, I don't want to discriminate. I know lesbians love a bow tie. I love a tie. But like you can get a graphic tie or something.
