Behind the Seams: Summer in the City

August 22, 2026Kate Sloan

May 30th, 2026

It was nervewracking to go back to Toronto for a few months when I’d just begun dating someone new in New York. I’m used to maintaining emotional closeness with my wife when we’re in different cities, because our relationship was long-distance for over seven years before we were able to move in together – but I had no such long-distance experience yet with pax, the person who is now my boyfriend(!!), so I was nervous about staying connected while far apart.

Thankfully, he was just as committed to making it work as I was. We had phone dates once a week or so, texted throughout every day, and he even booked a weekend trip to come visit me in Toronto, which made me feel very loved! On this day, I showed him around Kensington Market a bit (my old stomping grounds and one of my favorite Toronto neighborhoods), and then we took the subway to my favorite cocktail bar, Civil Liberties, for drinks. Then we walked down the block to Electric Bill for dinner – highly recommend; I always have a fantastic meal any time I go there!

What I’m wearing:

Red fit-and-flare dress – H&M
Red leather jacket – Danier Leather
Black leather Frye harness boots
Vintage red leather Coach Willis bag – Etsy
Black prescription sunglasses – Zenni

Back in Brooklyn! I wore this to a fancy dinner with my wife mb and a couple of her pals who were visiting from the west coast (it was at The Modern and was delicious), and then mb and I went to the SoHo Playhouse to see improv legends TJ & Dave perform. They did shows in New York for four nights in a row and mb had generously gotten us tickets to all four shows! On this night I happened to spot an actor I recognized in the crowd, and worked up the courage to tell him afterwards that I love his film Threesome. New York is a wild city.

What I’m wearing:

Blue halter top – some generic chain store
Red pencil skirt – American Apparel
Black leather Chuck Taylors
Navy clitoris-shaped earrings – an Etsy shop called MadeInMira

June 21st, 2026

Another TJ & Dave show night! This time I got to go with both of my partners 🥰 We went for dinner at the Minetta Tavern first. During the show I ended up getting emotionally overwhelmed because the themes of the set happened to relate to some difficult family stuff I was going through, so I went home right after, which probably would’ve been the correct call anyway – there was a heat wave happening and I am prone to fainting under such conditions, hence clutching a Gatorade for dear life in these photos!

What I’m wearing:

Pink tank top – the Gap
Red pencil skirt – American Apparel
Pink/red/white striped socks – gift from my mom
Pink/red custom Nike Air Force 1 sneakers
Vintage black leather Coach Willis bag – eBay
Black prescription sunglasses – Zenni
Gatorade in the superior “Cool Blue” flavor

June 25th, 2026

I was super nervous while taking these photos, and I feel like it shows! I was on my way to meet pax for dinner at Roberta’s (pizza, yum) to discuss relationship labels. I really wanted him to be my boyfriend but was worried he’d say no. But I needn’t have worried – the answer was a resounding yes! ❤️🍕

What I’m wearing:

Red leather jacket – Danier Leather
“2 gay 2 live, 2 horny 2 die” tank top – designed by Cayce Fisher
Denim shorts – the Gap
Pink & blue unicorn kneesocks – gift from my mom
Pink/red custom Nike Air Force 1s
Black prescription sunglasses

June 27th, 2026

Attending the New York City Dyke March with my wife and boyfriend was truly a queer polyamorist’s dream come true. I slathered on the sunscreen and then marched through the streets surrounded by beautiful sapphics and sapphic-adjacent folks. At one point I felt so inspired that I took out my pocket notebook and started drafting a song about how glad I am that I’m queer, as happy tears streamed down my cheeks. 🏳️‍🌈❤️

What I’m wearing:

“Queer & Kinky” T-shirt – Kink Academy merch; I cut the sleeves & neckline off
Denim shorts – the Gap
Red leather jacket – Danier Leather
Blue socks – the sex toy brand Dame
Pink/red custom Nike Air Force 1s
Rainbow earrings – an Etsy shop called 3Delightfulshop
Rainbow eye makeup – mostly Sugarpill
(In one photo) Turquoise & purple snapback – Etsy
My wife’s chastity key around my neck

Look, sometimes you have to dress slutty to survive a heatwave, okay?! I wore this adorably skimpy little dress to the Nitehawk Cinema in Williamsburg, where pax and I met up to have dinner + see Backrooms (liked it, didn’t love it). I took notes throughout, like a nerd.

What I’m wearing:

Orange skater dress – American Apparel (I have several of these in different colors)
Black leather Chuck Taylors
Vintage black leather Coach Willis bag
Black prescription sunglasses

July 3rd, 2026

Another slutty heatwave outfit… Wore this out to a group hang at a bar, where I ate an amazing hot dog. Have you ever eaten a hot dog while just drunk enough to appreciate it as deeply as it deserves? Big recommend.

What I’m wearing:

Turquoise racerback crop top – technically a bralette; bought in a bulk pack from Amazon
Denim shorts – the Gap
Pink Doc Martens
Pink sex toy earrings – a maker at the Erotic Arts & Crafts Fair in Toronto

July 4th, 2026

Wore this to a sex-date! Didn’t think about the fact that it was Independence Day; I just felt like wearing red 😂 My clothes didn’t stay on for long, anyway…

What I’m wearing:

Red cropped T-shirt – gift from my mom
Red shorts – the Gap
Red socks – the Gap
Pink/red custom Nike Air Force 1s

July 5th, 2026

Kind of a witchy vibe! Wore this out to dinner at Gage & Tollner, where I got the second-best Grasshopper I’ve ever had. (First-best was Jeffrey Morgenthaler’s version, prepared by Morgenthaler himself when we went to his bar Pépé Le Moko in Portland. Simply unparalleled.)

What I’m wearing:

Dark green cropped “Calvin” T-shirt – Calvin Klein, natch
Black pencil skirt – the Gap
Black leather Doc Martens
Vintage black leather Coach Willis bag
Turquoise velvet headscarf – gift from pax 💙

July 11th, 2026

Cute boy pax was cohosting a rooftop party, the dress code of which was “lush”; here’s what I wore. Had a lovely time and drank many delicious drinks while the blazing sun slowly sunk below the horizon in the distance. What a gorgeous night. I love New York.

What I’m wearing:

Black floral-print crop top – American Apparel
Red shorts – the Gap
Red peeptoe clogs – Lotta from Stockholm (RIP)

The Only Eyeliner Worth Wearing

May 1, 2026Kate Sloan

I first started wearing liquid eyeliner in the eighth grade. I tried it on when I dressed as Marilyn Monroe for Halloween one year and promptly fell in love.

The problem is, liquid eyeliner is a fickle mistress. My initial go-to was by L’Oreal and would sting horribly any time it got into my eyes – which was almost inevitable, because it would smear any time I cried, and I’m a very tears-prone person. Later I tried other liquid eyeliners, by Stila, Kat Von D, and Urban Decay – but all gave me some version of the same problem: they would smudge if I cried at all, or even if I laughed too hard. Given the type of life I lead, that shit just wasn’t gonna fly!

But all such problems went away when I tried MAC Liquidlast liner for the first time. Now it’s been my liquid liner of choice for over 6 years. Every time I branch out and try a different one, I end up regretting it and going back to Liquidlast. Monogamy isn’t my jam when it comes to relationships, but in the realm of eyeliners, there’s only one true love for me! 😂

A few key scenarios where Liquidlast has consistently out-performed the competition:

Crying: As mentioned above, I cry a lot – sad tears, happy tears, occasional “what the fuck?!” tears – and have never found an eyeliner that stands up to it better than Liquidlast. At most, I’ll get some minor flaking that’s easily solved with a quick touch-up.
Laughing: I am a very expressive laugher, prone to cackling so hard that my eyes squeeze shut – so getting femmed up to attend comedy shows was always a dicey proposition for me before discovering Liquidlast. Now, I have no such worries, not even when I’m seated in the front row of an improv set featuring performers I think are total babes…!
Rain: When the skies crack open and start pouring on me while I’m en route to a date or a show, I’m never concerned that my eyeliner will run. Other stuff might (concealer, blush, mascara), but Liquidlast does not give a fuck. It laughs in the face of rainfall.
Sweat: I am a sweaty person at times, whether it’s prompted by vigorous sex, hot-and-heavy makeouts, or just power-walking the streets of Toronto or New York, and Liquidlast handles it without issue.
Blindfolds: Wearing a blindfold during sex/kink is a pretty frequent thing for me, and my Liquidlast is always intact after such a session, save for maybe some slight flaking.
Naps: I am a medically tired person and have been known to take li’l disco naps before big nights out – and amazingly enough, when I use my fave tried-and-true longwear products like Liquidlast, I can nap on a fully-done face without fear of fucking it up. Occasionally I might need to fix a lip smear or touch up some flaked-off spots, but mostly it looks just fine.
Stage performance: Not only does Liquidlast hold its own against stage-fright sweat – it actually looks blacker than a lot of other eyeliners, even under stage lights. Great for my occasional improv & music performances!
Giving head: My decade-old blog post on blowjob-friendly lipsticks is still one of my most-viewed pages, so I feel it’s important to tell you that Liquidlast lasts longer than anyone I’ve ever blown. 😉 As a sexually anxious person, it honestly helps me a lot to know that my eyeliner will still look on-point afterward even if I get cum/drool/sweat all over my face.

Fellow makeup-lovers, do you have an eyeliner you treasure as much as I treasure MAC Liquidlast? Feel free to tell me about it in the comments!

Behind the Seams: Red Leather Jacket!!

April 22, 2026April 22, 2026Kate Sloan

April 8th, 2026

So I bought a red leather motorcycle jacket. Like so many of my best decisions, my wife had to talk me into it. An email showed up in my inbox declaring that a bunch of Danier Leather stuff was on sale, including their classic motorcycle jacket in “radiant red.” I already have a leather jacket that I love (incidentally also by Danier), but it’s black, so it doesn’t exactly stand out – and its shape is plain and boxy, lacking the effortless cool of a moto-style jacket. After some hemming and hawing, I pulled the trigger, and it arrived in my eager little hands a few days later.

This was the jacket’s maiden voyage – I wore it to attend an improv show at Comedy Bar. I felt nervous at first, like I wasn’t quite “pulling it off” – but pretty quickly, the jacket’s magic started to rub off on me, giving me some confident swagger I normally find hard to access. The intersection of clothing, gender, and confidence is so fuckin’ rad, dude. And funnily enough, none of my friends at the bar even commented on the jacket the first time I wore it, which I took to be a sign that it didn’t look out-of-place on me at all!

What I’m wearing:

Red leather jacket – Danier Leather (spoiler alert: you’re gonna see it a lot in this post! Like, in every outfit!)
Dark red tank top – gift from my mom
Black straight-leg jeans – Gap
Custom-color Nike Air Force 1 sneakers
Vintage red leather Coach Willis bag – Etsy
Prescription sunglasses – Zenni

April 10th, 2026

A fun solo date night! I love taking myself out for little adventures around the city. First I went to Comedy Bar (yep, again… it’s my home-away-from-home-away-from-home, okay?!) and drafted some song lyrics over a beer. Then I subwayed over to Casa Sushi for dinner, where I hadn’t been in ages, although it was one of my major haunts in my early twenties. Then I had some time to kill before an IMAX screening of Project Hail Mary (absolutely loved it), so I had a drink at the very swanky Stock Bar, journaling in between two couples on dates. Vaped a little weed before heading into the movie theatre; highly recommended for any space movie, as long as you’re not too prone to anxiety!

What I’m wearing:

Red leather jacket – Danier Leather
Hot pink sweater – Gap, gift from my mom
Blue skinny jeans – thrifted
Custom-color Nike Air Force 1s
Vintage red leather Coach Willis bag
“Ace” baseball hat – from the Ace Hotel shop; a gift from mb, picked out by pax; I love that it inadvertently advertises part of my sexual identity 😂
Prescription sunglasses – Zenni

April 14th, 2026

Hello, Chicago! After my wife gave a delightful and widely acclaimed keynote talk at Deep Dish Swift, the two of us met up with her friends Alex and Jillian for dinner at Monteverde, which was delicious. Fun night! I may have had a few too many Paper Planes…

Another nice day in Chicago! We visited the Bean and a vintage camera shop, and later went out for dinner (+ excellent ice cream from Jeni’s) with mb’s friends Syd and Quinn. Then we zipped across town to the Annoyance Theatre to see their jury duty-themed improv show, which was a blast.

I’ve been highly enamored with Field Notes pocket notebooks lately, so I wanted to visit their HQ while we were in town. It’s only open to the public a few days of the week. Such a chill space, filled with notebooks and nerds thereof! I admittedly left with 7 more notebooks than I’d had when I walked in…

What I’m wearing:

Red leather jacket – Danier Leather
Red tank top – Gap
Black straight-leg jeans – Gap

I got back to Toronto in time to attend the monthly free karaoke night at Comedy Bar, where I was celebrating my early birthday with some friends (my actual birthday is the 23rd). Had a great time, laughed my ass off, sang some Sondheim, drank a lot of beers, etc.!

What I’m wearing:

Behind the Seams: Bundled Up in Brooklyn

February 20, 2026Kate Sloan

February 2nd, 2026

Wore this out to dinner with my wife, mb. My hair is chaotic because I was still a bit sad about a hard conversation I’d had to have with a friend a couple days before this, but mb took good care of me! Anyone remember this old Dildorks logo, drawn by Amy/Starboots? I still love it, even though we don’t really look like this anymore and have since switched to new album art by Addison Finch.

What I’m wearing:

Dildorks baseball tee – Zazzle circa 2017
Black cashmere cardigan – Gap
Black ponte pants – Gap, gift from my mama
Black leather Frye harness boots
Black leather vintage Coach Willis bag

February 4th, 2026

It was insanely cold in New York for much of January and February – and I say that as someone who grew up in Canada! I bundled up every time I left the house, and also had to layer my clothing carefully, even for quick jaunts to the local pizzeria or dispensary.

Here’s what I wore to go have drinks with my pal Brent (a.k.a. Brentalfloss, my Question Box cohost) at a bowling-themed bar called Gutter Bar. We regaled each other with various gossipy sagas from our personal and professional lives over IPAs. Pretty ideal, despite it being so cold outside that my eyelashes kept freezing over when I was en route!

What I’m wearing:

Pink cashmere sweater – J. Crew
Denim jumpsuit – Aritzia
Pink knit toque – gift from my mom
Pink leather Doc Martens
Prescription sunglasses – Zenni
Black leather vintage Coach Willis bag
Navy clitoris-shaped earrings – a now-defunct Etsy shop

February 6th, 2026

It’s always a good day (or night) to visit Boyfriend Co-Op, a lesbian bar/café overflowing with vintage furniture and mellow vibes. Went there with my wife on this day to celebrate some good news she’d received! We sat at the bar and sipped lovely cocktails over great conversation.

What I’m wearing:

Blue “Slut for Kindness” T-shirt – Supriya x Eva Bloom
Blue cashmere cardigan – Gap
Skinny jeans – thrifted
Blue metallic Doc Martens
Black knit toque with ghost logo – Vaultboy merch
Black leather vintage Coach Willis bag

February 7th, 2026

Another outfit for a low-key dinner with the wife, if I recall correctly. We may have been going to Santa Panza. (Their ragu mafaldine pasta is my favorite comfort meal currently. Preferably with a Paper Plane or two!)

What I’m wearing:

Black blazer – thrifted
Red T-shirt – thrifted
Black pants – Gap, via my mom
Black leather Frye harness boots
Silver hoop earrings

February 8th, 2026

Another way-too-cold day. One thing I learned, growing up in Toronto (and occasionally having to schlep to 8 a.m. university lectures on the streetcar in the middle of winter), is that comfort is ultimately more important to me than looking cute. It sucks when you’re trying to have a good time with pals but you can’t stay present because your teeth are chattering and your knees are knocking together! I still aim to strike a balance between coziness and cuteness, as seen here – but when push comes to shove, practicality has to win out, ’cause you know what’s not cute? Frostbite!!

What I’m wearing:

Black cashmere Ralph Lauren sweaterdress – a hand-me-down from my high school girlfriend circa 2009
Black modal nightgown (layered underneath, for warmth & coverage) – Calvin Klein Sleepwear
Black woollen tights
Black leather Frye harness boots
Black leather vintage Coach Willis bag
Navy clitoris-shaped earrings

…and incase you were wondering what it looked like when I went out:

…Here’s a bonus outerwear shot of the same outfit! Additions include:

Bright turquoise long goosedown coat – bought from Land’s End several years ago; my friend Casia once told me that this makes me look like I’m wearing a sleeping bag, but it is extremely warm, so it’s worth it!
Navy knit cowl – Yokoo (absolutely obsessed, big recommend, it is one of the main things getting me through this winter)
Black knit toque with ghost logo – Vaultboy merch

February 10th, 2026

mb and I were celebrating our 8-year collarversary, i.e. 8 years since she first put a collar on me! Our collars have always been blue because it’s a special color in our relationship history, so I always wear blue to celebrate this day.

It was a perfect date night: first, mb took me to dinner at Le Crocodile, the French restaurant in the lobby of the Wythe Hotel, which is where we were staying together when she first collared me. I didn’t realize that’s where we were going, and I practically burst into tears when we got there! Then we went to see the Improvised Shakespeare Company perform. They were transcendent; I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe. Improv is also very romantic for me and mb, because we’ve both always loved it and we saw some New York improv together on our second date, way back in 2018 💙 Thanks to mb for planning such a beautiful evening for us!

What I’m wearing:

Blue crushed velvet dress – Forever 21, many years ago; bought to wear to our first collarversary date, if I recall correctly!
Blue cashmere cardigan – Gap
Black leggings – Gap
Blue metallic Doc Martens
Tiffany & Co. dog collar – a gift from my love
…& barely visible: a great Agent Provocateur bra, because sometimes cleavage can pull a whole look together 😉

February 13th, 2026

Another wonderful date night with da wifey: we had pizza at Roberta’s and then watched Sinners, which was fantastic. At the pizzeria, they were having a “My Bloody Valentine”-themed party, so lots of the servers had fake blood spattered all over them (which might’ve been marinara sauce, for all I know), and a tattoo artist was doing Valentine-y flash tattoos in the back room. I love Brooklyn.

What I’m wearing:

Magic Wand T-shirt – Pen & Kink
Black flared jeans – Gap
Black leather Frye harness boots
Black leather vintage Coach Willis bag
New red prescription glasses – Zenni

February 14th, 2026

Valentine’s Day outfit! Y’all know I love to dress in a Valentine-y manner and will take any excuse to do so, so I had fun putting this look together, as ever. I had also just received a new push-up bra in the mail from Victoria’s Secret, which was fortuitous timing 😂

What I’m wearing:

Red tank top – gift from my mama
Red pencil skirt – American Apparel like a decade ago
Black leggings – Gap
Red cowboy boots with stars on them – a hand-me-down from my high school girlfriend’s mom in 2008 or so
Red suit jacket – borrowed from my wife; it’s part of a suit she had custom-made by Alan David to officiate a wedding (I wish the pants fit me too, ’cause I would’ve just worn the whole suit instead!)

What clothes/outfits have you been loving lately, my darlings?

Behind the Seams: Pinks & Reds for Polycule Parties

January 29, 2026January 29, 2026Kate Sloan

December 28th, 2025

I flew back to New York from Toronto the day before this, and usually air travel is pretty draining for my chronically ill bod, but fortunately I had enough energy to go out to Raaaatscraps! My wife and I had also just watched an amazing video about beef wellington that inspired her to seek out a great wellington at a restaurant, so that’s what we had for dinner before the show. A cute date night!

What I’m wearing:

Pink cashmere sweater – had just received as a Christmas gift from my mama 💖
Black pants – ditto
Black T-shirt with Apple logo (unseen) – gift from my wife
Pink leather Doc Martens
Silver hoop earrings
Coach Rambler bag

December 30th, 2025

My lovely wife mb was celebrating a birthday, and asked that everybody dress monochromatically for her party. I considered wearing all blue or all pink, but ultimately red won out! The party took place in the “red room” at Singers, so I matched the decor. 💅 Such a fun night hanging out with cool folks! Happy birthday, mb!

What I’m wearing:

Red velvet dress – H&M like a decade ago
Red cropped cardigan – Amazon
Red thigh-high socks – Los Angeles Apparel
Red cowboy boots – a hand-me-down from my high school girlfriend’s mom back in ~2008
Red heart necklace – Tarina Tarantino
Red heart-shaped bag – Kate Spade
Red heart-shaped hair clip – a store somewhere in Toronto’s Chinatown East, like 20 years ago(!!)
Red lipstick and red eyeshadow!

December 31st, 2025

Wore this to a New Year’s Eve party! Thanks to Twig, Carly, & Tom for once again hosting; I’ve been to their parties for several years running and always have a good time.

What I’m wearing:

Black & silver body-con dress – vintage American Apparel, bought on eBay
Black tights
Black sequinned Uggs
Vintage black leather Coach Willis bag
Red heart necklace – Tarina Tarantino
Apple Watch

January 2nd, 2026

Not the most exciting day – I just went out for coffee, cranked out three blog posts, and then watched a really good rom-com. But this denim jumpsuit makes me feel gay and hot on even the most humdrum of days.

What I’m wearing:

Short-sleeved denim jumpsuit – Aritzia; still wish I’d bought the black one too 😭
Black leather Frye harness boots
Black knit toque w/ blue ghost appliqué – Vaultboy merch (his latest EP is wonderful, especially this song)
Navy knit cowl – Yokoo (cannot recommend their knitwear highly enough; this beautifully voluminous scarf has been getting me through this bitter winter, and incidentally works well as a makeshift pillow on uncomfortable chairs!)
Black wool peacoat – thrifted in 2007
Apple Watch
Prescription sunglasses – Zenni

January 10th, 2026

Wore this out to a little drinks get-together with my polycule. Had some great cocktails and funny conversations with a buncha cuties! (And yes, I did also cry on my metamour while making out with him, but that’s neither here nor there…)

What I’m wearing:

Navy skater dress – American Apparel
Black tights
Black leather Frye harness boots
Silver hoop earrings
Teal leather collar – Tiffany’s, a gift from my love
Apple Watch

January 14th, 2026

Wore this to attend an improv show with my wife that featured Aaron Jackson, Josh Sharp, and Jeff Hiller, all of whom are hilarious beyond reason. It ended up being kind of dramatic because there was a subway train shutdown right before the show and Jeff was on that specific train, along with several audience members – so the show started half an hour late, and Jeff ran onstage triumphantly to thunderous applause when they finally arrived after their ordeal. The ensuing set was manic in the best way!

What I’m wearing:

Turquoise long-sleeved shirt – gift from my mom
Black pants – ditto
Blue metallic Doc Martens – bought in high school
Silver hoop earrings
Apple Watch
Vintage black leather Coach Willis bag

January 18th, 2026

Another Raaaatscraps night! You know it’s a really good improv show when you’ll willingly trek over there in bitterly cold weather just to laugh the night away. This particular show is always worth the journey!

What I’m wearing:

Pink cashmere sweater – J. Crew
Black pants – gift from my mom
Pink leather Doc Martens
Red knit cowl – a now-defunct Etsy shop

January 20th, 2026

Kind of a chaotic/mismatched outfit, vibes-wise, but sometimes that’s fun. I wore this out to dinner at Gage & Tollner with my wife.

What I’m wearing:

Red plaid flannel shirt – Old Navy
“Fucking Fascists” T-shirt with rainbow logo – not sure, possibly a gift from mb?
Red pencil skirt – American Apparel
Black tights
Black leather Frye harness boots
Vintage black leather Coach Willis bag
Black prescription sunglasses

January 22nd, 2026

Wore this to a Poetry is Gay reading, at which my stunning wife performed some poems. Always so much fun to listen to beautiful queers reciting their beautiful words! The theme of the evening was “melt the ice,” so I dressed in a springy manner to hopefully hasten along warmer weather (and fewer federal goons on the streets of Minneapolis and elsewhere). 🤞

What I’m wearing:

Floral-print T-shirt – American Apparel
Red pencil skirt – American Apparel
Black cashmere sweater – Gap
Black tights
Red cowboy boots – hand-me-down
Orange & red beaded earrings – bought in Mexico many years ago

January 23rd, 2026

And here’s one silly loungewear outfit, for good measure… I wore this to lie around the house reading my press galley copy of Rosa Campbell’s forthcoming book about the sex researcher Shere Hite. It’s an absolutely fascinating book; big recommend for anyone who’s interested in the intersections of feminism and sexuality, which I’d imagine is most of you reading this blog!

What I’m wearing:
