With all the hype recently over the way women look, should look or what folks think they/we look like; we are now compiling photos of all the women that are perceived as ‘tomboys’ and putting up on the katagender.blogspot.com.

These photos can be of working women, in uniforms, in factory clothings, historical figures, sportswomen, our grandmothers, mothers, ourselves…as long as it is all from Malaysia (whatever you perceive as Malaysian, your grandmother could be from Singapore but now in Malaysia, you know that kind of thing.)

Anyway, this campaign shall be lovingly tagged, dedicated to the cool ‘tomboys’ out there, as: “We are proud of our women just the way they are!”

Do you have pictures of yourself with short, spiky hair? In an ‘unfeminine’ outfit? Wearing those pleather, punk wrist bands, all geared up for some PLU party in Club 69? Posing with your foot upon a ball with the rest of your futsal team?

Pose as you will, get your friend to snap it, and send them Katagender‘s way! You know what? Get your mother to pose too, if your family is cool that way. Lo-res is fine, and include a tagline with the moniker, age and description of your choice.

The e-mail address is kata.gender@gmail.com and they’re looking forward to hearing from you ‘tomboys’ soon!

What defines a tomboy? Beats us, you decide. Do you have to be a lesbian to participate? Not at all!

The Tomboy Photo Project is still new, and some submissions have already been sent in. Head on over to Katagender and check them out.

Have some fun, people .
