Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoHow do femme straddlers express themselves fashion-wise? I seem to switch between 50s gal and indie nerd :D
-
Day to day: (and a lot of events): dark jeans, fitted black v-neck t shirts, black boots and statement necklace. The occasional wrap/a-line/shirtdress with an interesting pattern. Getting into the tights-with-shorts thing this summer because I’m at the upper age bracket for looking cute and not silly.
Work/Some events: A black blazer makes…[Read more]-
Nice, sounds both classy and comfortable :) I love a statement necklace with blacks and boots, a great way to inject a bit of character without going OTT. Also, you folk dance? Awesome!
-
I contra :D Especially techno contra when I can manage it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pt6BhNSpoRY (A lot of hot nerdy gay girls and other queer folk are into it, surprisingly enough)

At work I try for classics/basics with a little bit of a sharp edge. Lot of grayscale, minimal color pops, clean straight lines, very little in the way of patterns or pastels or soft ruffly anything. If I could steal Kalinda(of the Good Wife)’s wardrobe I would in a heartbeat. I dunno how you would sum up her style? Biz-badass-caz?
The rest of my…[Read more]

Clothes of questionable taste are the best kind. I have a black t-shirt that is shirred/cut up and put together/threaded with maroon yarn and thread, with a subtle print of two fairies having sex on the back near the right hip. Best 3 euro I ever spent.
-
That sounds AMAZING.
-
YESSSSSSSSSSS distressed tees yesssssssssssssss. My bestie who knows me ALL to well just gave me a hot pink WWJJD (What Would Joan Jett Do) oversize tee that I cannot wait to tear up and put back together. Yours sounds fab :)
-
-
Ok! I actually have not watched the Good Wife before, so I googled the character, and, OMG, super hot. Femme but with a certain energy that makes her edgy rather than sweet. Mmm.
In other news, I really like your workwear. I quit my office job to work in a community organisation, but I used to wear: sleeveless sheath dress made from suit…[Read more]

That sounds like an awesome getup! Yeah, I find that it works out pretty well for me to have my dual identity: sharp biz caz something-or-other at work and totally grungily inappropriate on weekends. Even though I feel like the latter is more “authentic,” I’d definitely miss the put-together alter ego if it were no longer called for in my life.…[Read more]

I love AA, so I sort of switch between over the top colours with lots of short skirts and dresses to a bit of a nerd or even sometimes punkish look.

Femme Straddlers 12 years, 5 months agoGUYYYYYS I’m posting about @prufrock and my blog again but I don’t care, because this is awesome: http://buzzcutsandbustiers.com/2011/05/24/ask-your-bffs-butch-femme-friends-a-good-idea-or-the-best-idea/ Wherein we tackle anything you throw at us. Because surely you’ve got questions that can only be answered by a smart, lovingly snarky, and…[Read more]

I have a rhetorical (cough cough right) question for you.
How is it that all the couples I know are monogomous, but all the people I date are poly (as a lifestyle). How’d all the monogomous people find each other?
-
Yay thanks for playin! Question has been noted, and we’ll reply with the link here when our first answers post goes up! :)
-
how do butches tell femmes are queer? are we really that invisible? I mean, I have dyke hair now obvs, but I don’t think it makes me look any queerer…just wondering. ;)
-
Sweet, thanks for the question! We got ya and should have an answers column up soon! :)
-
These questions. I second them. And will plug my own blog in which the “invisible femme” phenomenon was a recent topic: http://deviantthoughts.wordpress.com/2011/05/15/fabulous-femmes/

Sweet! Will definitely check it out. Our answers column is up if you want to take a look! http://buzzcutsandbustiers.com/2011/05/27/ask-your-bffs-monogamy-femme-invisibility-and-butch-protective-energy/

You two are awesome! Thank you for the very thoughtful answer–online dating has been a whole delicate balance of expectations, reality, voicing my needs but being willing to try new things–but it will be something to think on. :D
-
Thanks again for the question! The frequency of the feature will probably be based on volume of questions, so never hesitate if there’s another topic you want us to tackle :)

When I find that great lady on a dating site, I want to write her but I always feel like what I have to say is DUMB. Advice on what to write to break the ice and make nice? ;)
-
Yay thanks for the question! We’ll keep it on hand for the next installment!!
