It was my understanding that Blove identified sort of interstitially -- hence the pronouns "shim", etc. But I will come up with a couple other examples -- it's difficult in part because I think media commodification/fetishization/iconization reifies the subject in ways similar to but not identical to the sexualized male gaze. So trying to find a subject who is well-known enough to use here of queer femininity is problematic.

So, regardless of actual preference... Cindy Sherman queers the gaze. Cathy Opie denies it. And I think Camille Paglia inverts it -- or at least threatens to.
