Unique in pre-Stonewall American history is an assertive song of lesbian self-affirmation and defiance, “Prove It on Me Blues.” Written, performed, and recorded in 1928 by the famous early blues singer Ma Rainey, this extraordinary song of resistance features a woman-loving woman who proclaims her sexual interest in females and challenges the world to “prove it on me.”

I love when people incorporate their age into their style, instead of trying to hide it. Whether it be gray hair, or a cane, or eye glasses— there is a dignity associated with having experience. It should be worn like a medal.

Dear HONY,

I know you don’t always go for the “local celebrities” angle, but Jimmy Web is such a gem. In spite of the leather pants and tattoo sleeves, he’s more like one of those old school knows-your-name shopkeepers. He’s there every day and loves what he does. Subculture kids who come to NYC treat his store, Trash and Vaudeville, like a tourist destination and a Mecca and he’s so gracious about all of it. Like, yeah, he’s met everyone who’s anyone in rock and roll history, but he’ll still smile at you when you buy your $5 clearance t-shirt.

*Having met Jimmy today, I can confirm that he is such a special person. He was so touched that someone wrote that letter about him. “That’s exactly what I try to be,” he said, “I sell clothes to a lot of big names—but really, what I’m all about, is trying to help everyone become their dream.”
