Nina Arsenault doesn't have a kitchen in her bachelor apartment in Toronto's gay village. She convinced her landlord to gut the kitchen area and build a walk-in closet. Forgoing the ability to cook in favour of making room for her expansive wardrobe is not only a matter of practicality for the transsexual writer and performer, it is also an expression of the kind of woman she wants to be. "As a child I never had dreams of being a domestic woman who cooks and cleans," says Arsenault, laughing. "The choice to turn my kitchen into a closet is definitely symbolic of the kind of beautiful, sexy, fashionable woman I always wanted to be. My dad is coming by later today to install new dress racks."
