came across this live journal entry yesterday. note to self: do some writing. frustrate Samira was one of the DJs at this weekend’s party. I’d never seen her before and she was probably my favorite, though she spun in and out with some random blond guy who wasn’t on the schedule… I read up on her some and find she’s mainly associated with female DJ groups here in the Bay. Why does that bother me? I have no idea. The concept of a ‘female DJ group’ is almost as disgusting as one only of males. The underground music scene doesn’t need suffrage. At least the electro-techno-tech house doesn’t… Or does it? Are female DJs really asked by promoters to wear ’something tight’? I’ll admit that watching a person spin records can be pretty sexual, but — come the fuck on, now — my eyes never stray from his or her hands… Anyway. I could be more forgiving if she hadn’t been wearing makeup, I guess. It’s wrong for me to assume that people I admire share my thoughts on gender. I still may seek her out for another couple of parties, though. www.livejournal.com/users/luminesc/86964.html
