Morning ALL!


I noticed lots of discussion in other threads about camo and tanks and tool belts LOL 3386a.jpg image by CalyD44


Anyway, I thought it might be fun to talk about dressing like a Lesbian.

I rarely carry a purse, although I love the way designer bags look! When I tuned 29 Shelley got me a Dooney & Burke bag with matching wallet. I carry the wallet every day, the purse every once and a while. At work and school I carry a backpack. My backpack has these loops on the straps and everyone asks me if they are for ammo? :lol: Um,no.....I don't even own a gun! If I'm just running errands around town I shove my wallet and keys in my pockets.

"Now fingernails are another thing. Often as you say even the most feminine woman will have pretty short nails which is a definite giveaway in my book *giggle "

Ohhh yeah? LOL I am always looking at hands...lol!!! I have to act like a FGP for people to get it about me...i think. I am very fem...my movements. That is the feedback i get anyway. lol!

Okay, I was stuck in airports or on airplanes until the wee hours of the morning today, so I could not chime in on this. Teaching PE has it's advantages 'cause I can go butch whenever I want to.

I have always favored Lee(Caly) or Levi'e 501 'cause I think they are sexy. I'm pretty much in a t-shirt and jeans in my social life. I prefer cargo pants, and boy shorts, but I do own two more fmeinine pairs, a white and black. For work, I wear dress casual pants, polo or button down shirts. I used to buy men's shirts from GAP, but I am buying more fitted clothes 'cause of the weight loss. I wear light make up most of the time to even out my face.

Now, my favorite look is my baseball hat on backwards, a tan, brown, or white, tank top(so my tat shows), with my camo cargo shorts. On me feet-Teva's or sneakers. I would like a real pair of sport sunglasses, but I lose them so often, I refuse to spend the money. I must get a pair of Doc's or Tim's, though. I have always looked longingly at them, but never had the balls to buy them. I cannot wear a man's watch, because I have chicken wrists so I wear a Triathalon by Timex.

I like the soft butch look on other women or slightly femme. I wouldn't mind trying a real lipstick lesbian, but I am afraid that they would be way to high maintenance for me, but if they had that "special" something, I would be game.

Listen to me here. Talking like I know what I am doing. How funny.

Hugs to all,
Blue

Hey, don't knock us lipstick lezzys! lol Caly has had quite a bit of influence (in a good way) and gotten me to tone down my maintenance requirements. She and the girls run, though, when I pull out the hair spray! ;-)


I imagine that you do the tank top, camo, and baseball cap look very well!


So, you got home ok???

Thelma-I think we really are sisters! The clothes, the light make-up, the smaller shirts because of weight loss, losing the sunglasses and the camo cargo shorts (I have them on now). Oh yeah-and the FGP thing.

Hugs,

Wait one second, babe, I think you are a fine looking woman. You don't seem as high maintenance as some, but according to Caly, the shoes are like Imelda! Is that true?
Ya know Caly and I can just hangout, tuck our t-shirts in to get really dressed up, have a beer, and wait about an hour for you to get ready! lol God, I can't believe I can find humor today. I must be bi-polar.

Actually, to create the dress casual look, I need a tank top, with a button down over it tucked into twil pants with a belt, and a pair of leather shoes and some funky socks. Socks make the woman. Light make up, all my piercings in-silver, I guess, since that is the appropriate dyke look(although gold is my favorite), a touch of perfume, cologne, or body spray(NOTHING flowery), and I am ready for any date, but the Oscars.

Hugs

This whole "femme" by default thing got me thinking.........why does everyone call me a femme? Now, it's not a bad thing, neither is being butch. BUT, I'm not either, I'm really not. I'm somewhere in the middle.........lol
So, according to my uber butch dyke friend Jeanette here is why I am a femme......

1. I have a pink cell phone
2. I have about 10 pink shirts
3. My watch face is pink
4. I have a pink leather watch( in addition to the other pink faced watch )
5. I like opera, ballet and symphony performances
6. I wear lacy underthings
7. I like to wear dresses
8. My toe nails are always painted
9. I wear girly perfume
10. I own a drawful of makeup( true, but I rarely wear it )

Oh the boxes we like to put ourselves into.......lol I got such a laugh out of her responses! Maybe she's right!
