Re-Dressing

"This space is for the Yahoo  thing"

This is the   webpage of the artist commonly known as Siobhan(Shvawn). This is my two cents worth on the subject. My deep and              meaningfull. Sometimes I'm quite sure I've got it figured out.  Its not about gender or sexuality. Its about life itself. Its a  spiritual  thing.

We are given  only part of what we need to be whole. That need is part of lifes  structure; a built-in imperfection. We are built to seek the  redressing of that imbalance. What does this have to do with  dressing? The dresser is someone whose emotional path in life is  so fraught with obstacles, perhaps due to upbringing, rolemodels,              dominating females etc, that he cannot redress that imbalance and       seeks an unusual path to find that missing part of life. Some of   us think that this means they are meant to be women. That's not how   it is for all of us. It's a wonderful escape from a reality that              allows so little emotional release. It is a bit addictive  too. It's a pity that the subject is imbued with the idea that it   is self-indulgent. Sometimes it is, like a drug. But we got this way              because something was missing and we could'nt fulfill our needs as    others did. There was a desperate need to be filled. Societys  usual solution to those who don't play by the rules and who take  unusual shortcuts to emotional release is excommunication. But that  doesn't solve anything for us except to make us feel bad. Theres   nothing wrong with dressing in itself.  A creative alternative to a potential emotional   prison.
