tapestry drag

 it’s no secret that i love drag queen shoes (or ‘tranny’ shoes as Rachel Zoe calls them… but that’s no longer PC). the crazier, higher and brighter the better! i HAD to have these ABLAZE wedges from ASOS – they’re the slightly less-high versions of the Jeffrey Campbell tapestry Damsel platforms that seem to be sold out everywhere – but these ASOS ones are so comfy! and cheaper!

this is a variation of the outfit that i wore to tape my next (upcoming) appearance on The Nate Berkus show! i ended up changing my shirt… i’ll let you know when the episode is going to air and post some behind the scenes footage and the how-to for the extreeemly cute project i did on the show! think, thrift store and bright colors… i know, typical Mr. Kate!

off to LA today after an extremely successful NYC visit! PS – send me more Halloween costume pics! i love the ones i’ve seen so far and i want to do a post with all of them this week! ([email protected])

    Hi, everybody at Mr. Kate! I just wanted to say I saw you on the Nate show and fell in love with your style! But, I have to say I find the context in which you used the word “tranny” offensive. I am all for trans advocates using tranny in a friendly way such as “gay” but I feel like the context in which you used it makes it seem like all trans people dress like drag queens. I actually feel like “drag queen would have been a better term to use because they are MEANT to be comical at times. Most trans people are just trying to get by living normal lives and the stereotypes we are given make it a LOT harder. I’m not being hateful towards anyone. just letting you know my feelings. Much love! xx

      Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your opinion and apologize that you feel offended. I am a huge advocate for LGBT and have many close and dear friends that are gay, bi, etc. My use of the word ‘tranny shoes’ was really just a reference to Rachel Zoe and how she uses that term to describe any fantastically high platform shoes – as a fan of Rachel (who is also a LGBT advocate) it was merely an homage. So I am only using the word in celebration and in no way mean it to be derogatory. I also use the term ‘drag’ or ‘drag queen’ to describe some of my outfits since i love the way they dress and am inspired by anyone who lives the way they want to live – especially LGBTs! thanks and xx – kate

    Thank you for the response! I had no idea it was meant as a homage. I actually had never heard of Rachel Zoe before. But, thank you for clearing that up for me! I really do love your work and will fully support you and Rachel Zoe now! I will let all my friends know about you! :)

       Hi! Thank you so much for your support! Sorry your parents don’t like the videos ; ( …. I don’t swear THAT much in them – they’re pretty much PG-13 ; )
      I have a bit of a ribald sense of humor and I don’t like to censor myself because I’m all about honoring and embracing who you are and inspiring people to do the same! So while I can’t promise that I will stop swearing in videos, I do appreciate your comment and feedback! I hope your parents can understand that I’m waaaay more tame then most hip hop songs ; )
