Femme Straddlers 12 years, 4 months agoHi Femmes. Question, who is your still icon? Lesbian or otherwise?
Coz I would have to say mine are definitely Santana (glee) and the twins from Skins!
I think they all dress amazingly! So proud to have the femme lesbian representing in the media!-
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…

Femme Straddlers 12 years, 4 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.

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/

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!!
