Oh my gosh, I look forward to the T&L Miss Universe post every year. Not quite sure what that says about me. But seriously, those posts are pure gold, both in content and presentation.
I was Super Disinterested in fashion, both clothes and make-up, for many years as a youth, because they were ~girly~ things and internalized misogyny, etc.. But it was discovering the LGBT community -- drag queens, specifically -- that helped me to view it as just another tool for presenting the self. It's so fun -- and empowering!
You have also just made L.A. sound like a very attractive place to visit.
