Really interesting question! I suppose I have never thought about specific ‘femme’ icons… more queer icons on the one hand, and feminine icons on the other… like I admire Rachel Maddow, but if I could dress like anyone, I would dress like Dita von Teese (who I note was seriously involved with a woman in her twenties!).

Now that you mention…[Read more]

Probably Fit for a Femme (I don’t know her name, do people just refer to her as FFAF?)
Totally cured me of my femme angst. Plus, she introduced me to the top knot, which means that I know longer have to wash my super curly hair tangly everyday to look presentable. Awesome.
But really, she seems so confident in who she is, and every time I read a…[Read more]

My icon is the Hogwarts Express cause I suck at cropping.

Serious answer: Shar Rednour, my friend Megan, Felicia Luna Lemus, a whole stack of Tumblr celebriqueer femme bloggers

The first person that comes to mind is Amber Heard. It started when I saw pictures of her in that red dress at the GLAAD awards where she officially came out. I love a vintage-inspired outfit.

I can’t say I have any celeb/visible femme icons that inspire me, though I’m glad to see femmes represented in the media. I do however sort of look up to my adoptive gay aunts Jackie and Deb who have been rocking their femme sides for decades and look hot even in their 50s.

My icon Lez or otherwize is the character: Anaksunamun in ”The Mummy”, remember the opening scene? She lets everyone know how desireable she is and only just a select few may get a chance to be with her. No one else can compare…

Hey Cindy!

Afraid I’m not living in London at the moment, but lived there for 20 years so have plenty of advice :) Check out http://boards.gingerbeer.co.uk/ for what’s going on, there are plenty of meet ups and events which you could go to. G-A-Y and Candy Bar are both in SOHO right in the centre of London (and about a 5 minute walk from each…[Read more]

    Hi! I totally forgot but I friended you as I should be around then to go out one night if you like. I’m 19 and relatively new to London, so still looking for more queer friends to go out with :) Not very knowledgeable about places as I’ve only ever been to Ku, G-A-Y and The Den, so perhaps I could check out Candy Bar with you? From all I’ve heard…[Read more]

  BEST advice given above is to go East! To me it’s much more chilled an atmosphere, and it feels more like real London.
  In Soho though, Ku bar gets my vote.

    I seem to hear this a lot, but where do you actually advise to go to? From what I can tell on the internet Ghetto seems to be closed and Dick and Fanny doesn’t happen very often .. and I can’t figure out if Trash Palace is the same as Ghetto. All the websites seem to be very out of date

      there’s twat boutique and unskinny bop which you definitely need to check out. i’d also advise just going on a general bar crawl, basically it’ quite difficult to go wrong :)
