RawR!!!
I am fucking LUCKY *rawr* |
Eep, I can't edit my original post! Haha. I'm going to re-post my little self description thingy, hopefully that's okay, and I promise this one will be finished ;)
I'm a rocker lesbian, which means I wear band t-shirts, go to shows, and have mass amounts of black eyeliner in my bathroom. On the other hand, I'm the girl who adores the way I look in a button down dress shirt and slacks. Sometimes I tease my hair, add tons of hairspray, and glam myself up with smoky eyes and lace - other times I wear my hair messy, skip the makeup, and leave the house in pajamas and a hoodie ;) I wear lip gloss and perfume, but I'm in no way high-maintenance. I'm very clean and always have perfect hygiene - girls have actually complimented me on the way I smell, haha. I have a big heart that gets me into trouble, I've been hurt more times than I ever thought possible, and I love fiercely. I'm sweet and romantic, and I believe in true love - the kind that steals your breath and stops your heart. I'm honest, sometimes too honest, and I have a kindness that makes me vulnerable to pain and suffering. My closest friends mean the world to me, and I'm impressed that they can handle the fact that I'm sensitive, a bit controlling, and overanalyse to the point of insanity, haha. I'm terrified of heights, and loud noises make me jump. Yelling triggers my anxiety. I'm a spelling, grammar, and punctuation nazi... especially in school - which brings me to the fact that I'm in my second year of college, and have immersed myself into the Social Work Program. I want to work with kids. I'm accident-prone, and can be a complete spaz sometimes; though people keep telling me how cute it is. I write, mostly poetry, and I bake often (just recently, white chocolate chip cookies with homemade brown sugar). I'm a flirtatious geek who tries to see the good in everyone, and if you want to get on my good side, bring me lemon meringue pies, banana moonpies, and/or taco bell. I have a weakness for girls who have short hair, piercings/tattoos, wear tight pants and dress shirts, and can cook well ;) I make mistakes, and I say things without thinking. I'm flawed and beautifully broken. |
What Kind of Femme am I?
I'm a jeans and t-shirt wearing femme who also likes a nice pair of slacks and a sweater.
I'm a no-nonsense femme that likes to have fun. What does that mean? Don't bullshit me; respect is a two-way street. Once respect is established, fun naturally follows. I'm a very sexual person and I love to show affection publicly. I'm a femme that rides a Big Dog Motorcycle. :harley: I'm a tattooed femme (10 in 7 spots), all covered unless I'm in shorts. I'm a femme that usually wears eye makeup and lip gloss; it makes me feel pretty, oh so pretty, and witty, and gay! LOL :) I also wear pear scented lotions from Victoria's Secret I'm a caretaker femme that has a hard time remembering that in order to take care of others, I have to take care of myself first. :hospital-snoopy: I'm an independent femme that loves to get my hands dirty fixing things. I can troubleshoot, read flow charts and I think power tools are awesome! Call me corny, but I believe in true love, first kisses that take your breath away, and unquestionable loyalty between two lovers. :awww: |
I am a femme.
I am a temptation... Temptation lies in the nearest shoe store. I wear heels everyday and have had the same pair of tennis shoes for years. They are pink and black, naturally, and they look brand new. I don't own sensible shoes and my rock-hard calves show my devotion to my shoes. It is almost as strong as my craving for the written word... The written word is my passion. I am a would be writer of prose, and poetry. I devour books and read anything I can get my hands on-except music... Music is the soundtrack to my life and songs take me back in time like few things can-except scent... Scent is the sense most powerfully tied to memory. My sense of smell is highly developed and it is almost as powerful as my sense of touch... Touch my heart and I will always have a fondness for you, even years after we part ways, and regardless of if or how you wrong me... Wrong me and I will cry and rage and be a pitiful little kitten. But, when I let you go, you are gone and you are gone forever... Forever is my dream. I dream of falling in love and getting married and finally sharing my life with someone who loves me for me... Someone who loves me for me. My kids love me for me. My friends love me for me. But the only people who really KNOW me are my lifestyle friends. If you know me as Elaine then you probably don't know me. If you KNOW me, you know me as LaneyDoll... LaneyDoll is BDSM brat bottom whose fave play partner is her wicked hot, best friend. LaneyDoll is the femme girl who has a major weakness for butches as lovers and thinks that femmes make amazing friends... Friends are the best. They accept me as I am. That I love scary movies but cannot watch them alone (or sleep alone that night) because my imagination runs wild with me. That I love bubble baths, and cool showers. That my fave color is purple but my fave color combo is pink/black. That I have my kids initials tattooed onto my ankle and a butterfly carved into my back, on my shoulder. That I am me and I am not changing for anyone but I do strive to continue to grow and learn. That I had a hard childhood but understand that a lot of us didd. That I really tried to be a proper Southern lady but tired of living in a shell that did not fit me. That I am who I am and that... I am a femme. |

I am emotion and elements. I love fully, I give freely, I think broadly, I share honestly, I live openly.
I am a gentle rain on a quiet afternoon, I am the sunshine in the midst of a tornado, I am the tornado itself...my energy whirling about. I am the wind, blowing your hair, a gentle caress. I am the thunder when those I love (including myself) are hurt by you. I am the ocean, beating the shore, and each wave you ride with me will bring new beauty to the earth...if only for a passing second. I am the silence in the middle of the night. When you are wrapped in me, you are safe and loved, but free. I am safety and security, love and laughter. I am fun times and free smiles. I am a good friend, a great listener, and an amazing wordsmith when inspiration strikes. I am a Muse, and I have many Muses of my own. I am a painter, a creator, a photographer, a student, a teacher. I am sex and sexuality. I am a writer of erotica. I am lacy bras and matching panties. I am thigh high panty hose and garter belts. I am raw sex. I am fast pulses, shallow breaths, low moans and moistness. I am cleavage and bedroom eyes. I am long, natural red fingernails leaving trails along your back. I am roses & champagne and I am leather & lace. I am soft, gentle touches and I am bites & claw marks. I am sweet kisses and I am throw me against the wall and fuck me hard. I am comfortable in a dress and high heels or blue jeans and a t-shirt. I am fancy lingerie or sweat pants and a tank top. I am make-up and intricate hair styles or a hair-clip and not a touch of anything on my face except a smile. I am complicatedly simple. I am the illusion of high-maintenance, and the reality of simplicity. I am fulfilled by nature and Mother Earth. I am an animal rescuer and lover. I am screaming because of a spider, but I am also able to kill the spider myself. (Most of the time!) I am "Let's take it outside and set it free" as long as it isn't going to bite me on the way there. (at that point, I'm kill or be killed!) I am music. I am rhythm. Music lives in me and I live through music. I am soul dances and slow dances. I am body swaying, connecting. I am Pink and Melissa Etheridge blowing the speakers, and I am Norah Jones singing a peaceful melody. I am oldies, classic rock, pop, country, hard rock, and love songs. I am singing off-tune and loving every minute of it! I am living, breathing, existing in and of nature. The ocean fills me and fulfills me. My soul takes flight and I am happy. I am a healer and an Empath. I am healing. I am strong. I am vulnerable. I am a slow Tuesday morning, and a hectic Friday night. I am an organizer who sometimes can't seem to get a running start. I am logic embattling emotion. I am the first one there when a cry goes out, the last one to leave when the dust has settled. I won't just come to the party, I'll help you cook & clean for it, and stay after to clean up. I am mother, nurturer, lover, giver, child, sister, friend. I am sweet and innocent, and I am anything but innocent. I am Sagittarius. I am fire. I am passion. I am lust. I am love. I am brave in the face of danger, and I am scared of the dark. I am an optimist and I choose to see the good in people and the world around me. My dark places are very dark. I am playful and always ready to try something new. I am seductive and I like to be seduced. I am warm cookies fresh out of the oven and I am a cold glass of iced tea on a summer's day. I am effort and I am Lazy Sunday afternoons. I am butterflies in the middle of a field covered with snow. I am a burst of light in the darkness. I am color in the midst of a black and white photo. I am perfect imperfections. I am worth the time it takes to get to see my soul. I am confident and I am insecure. I am outgoing and I am shy. I am a world of apparent contradictions, that all feed each other perfectly. |
I'm not sure what my sort of femme is.
When I first came out I called myself femme as I wanted the right to have long hair, wear dresses and still call myself a lesbian. My look was drag, all bright lipstick, crazy outfits, 7" platforms and red hair. As time went on it became more ingrained, I never went out without high heels, makeup, black lace and cleavage. Moving countries changed me again, the high heels dropped, but my underwear became sexier and I picked up the handbag and purse habit. Now in my 30's and in an ostensibly 'straight' relationship I'm in flats and trousers and barely-there makeup, yet I feel far more femme than I ever did. The drag is gone, now it's all just me. |

I am femme.
This past week, I chopped my hair off super short. I needed to look at myself differently. I needed to not equate femme, with, well, femme. It’s easy to slap some high heels on and do my nails, and call it done. But this year has been hard, and I’ve relied on compliments and worn-down thought patterns to tell me what MY femme-ness is. Haven’t we all been there? Those moments or days or months or years when carving ourselves out of mashed potatoes just isn’t happening? When you realize you can’t back it up? The heels are there, the hair is there, the nails are there…and it all just makes you tired. So I chopped off my hair to fuck with my femme-ness, to see if it was as easy as wearing high heels or curling my hair. It’s not, but we all knew that. And I’ve come up with my truths: I am femme because I say so. I am femme because it describes my strength, not my weakness. I am femme and a burlap sack couldn’t hide it, and encyclopedias couldn’t describe it. |
I am Femme, except when I am not. I am not big on labels.
I am Aquarius with a dash of Sag. Icy intellect outside with a thumping fire inside. Emotion and sensitivity are a foreign language. Yet, touch my mind first, then my heart, and I will love you with the heat of 10,000 suns. Friend to all, belong to no one. I don't ever see myself in a traditional relationship again. I'm too individual, too much the loner. The only way to catch me is to let me go. I am so not the romantic. Romance to me is taking a walk under the stars...and bring your telescope. Walk me on the beach, I stop for quartz crystals. You want to woo me? Take me fossiling. Take me to bed, and I will take you to Heaven...in hours. I am a Femme Top...except when I want shoved against the wall, arms pinned over my head, to bend to Your will. I am Aquarius, and love on my own terms. My body is all at once muscular and strong, yet I love soft skin and my gentle hands. I am private, yet modeled nude. A prudish side, and a huge kink. Don't bother with jewelry or fancy things. The new issue of Astronomy Today is more like it. A membership to the Smithsonian, with the offer to take me there-yes! I sound like a humourless intellectual, but I am the Femme who laughs herself silly at the Three Stooges. It's A Mad,Mad,Mad,Mad World is my favorite movie. If you can't make me laugh, or are missing a sense of humor, I'm not for you. I am classy and polite, yet I will crack up at funerals, whisper raunchy jokes in church, say shocking things just cause. I use words to build up, and language to make a sailor blush. I was born here, but am not of here. I am a citizen of the world. Name it, I will go there. I will find my homeland, live and die there. I can sit through a film noire marathon one night, and Bugs Bunny-Road Runner, the next. I am the one who taught herself calculus with a book. I am the one who is learning Russian, just for "something to do". I am a teacher by day; a forever student all my days. I am cool logic, a Vulcan out of time and place. I am the Empath, taking on the pain of those I love without words of my own. I am Leader of myself, never a follower. I will never jump on the bandwagon, but will be out in front, shouting "Follow Me!" |
I am my grandmothers look-alike, spending each day trying to be half the woman she was.
I am strong willed and at times hot-tempered. I am high-strung, yet laid back. Music surrounds me and I use it as a therapy for what is going on at the moment, what has happened in the past and what may happen in the future. I am smart but very few know it. I listen alot and say very little. I can be the girl you would take home to momma but at the same time the girl that would make your mother question your judgement. I have a big heart but the wall around it is hard to break through. I am funny, sarcastic, ditzy, head strong, sweet, critical and times dont play well with others. I am confident in many things : doing my job well, my womanly ways, changing my own oil, working in the kitchen, my ability to love and realizing that there are things I am not confident about: doing another job as well ( I could never sit behind a desk), my womanly ways, changing my oil (at times I screw up and get it all over me), working in the kitchen ( Ihave burned a casserole or three) but some things remain the same. I am jeans or sweats and a hoodie in the winter. I am a tank, shorts and flip flops all summer long. I am a short red dress and 5 inch heels when the time is right. I am a ponytail or my hair falling straight down over my shoulders, which ever strikes me at the moment. I am " Maybe shes beautiful, maybe its Maybeline" neutral tones, light lipstick (never pink or red), black mascara, charcoal liner. I am AWARE...aware of the things I am and aware of the things Im not. I am a woman, a little girl, a femme, a tomboy, a sweetheart, a total bitch......BUT I am GREAT at being all of them. |
I am 100% femme. I like dressing up, perfectly matched nails, hair just so. I don't only do this for me to feel good about myself-I do it for YOU, my lover.
I am a leo. A true leo. I am a fierce lioness. I take care of others way too much and forget I am human with needs. I long to do the little things that spoil like back scratches, love notes, home cooked meals, surprises. Its in my nature to love and want the same love in return. I am a mother. I raised my daughters, ages 23 and 22, and proudly adopted a son who just turned 4 last month! He looks just like ME! God knew who was going to love that boy! He is my heart beat. I am a lover. I crave that butch energy! I long for that certain touch. I am not a selfish lover at all! I respect boundaries and pride myself in being creative in my relationship. I NEVER want my partner to wonder how I feel about them. I show it to them daily. I am a little bit angel, little bit naughty, (ok, sometimes quite a bit naughty-thus needing a strong butch to handle this). Im a little bit babygurl/little bit kink-sometimes vanilla. I trust my Daddi to do whats best for me, giving in ways that makes *my* strength disappear. I *am* one-half of a sacred thing yet I am a fortress on my own. I am a fighter! I have conquered things that most people would run from. I have walked away a winner from fights that shouldn't have been mine to fight, yet I battled on til the victory and laughed in he faces of those who never had faith in me. Do not underestimate me! I am fierce-when needed. I am a country girl! A vine-ripened Georgia peach! I have the southern drawl and laid back, country mind set. I am a good, southern woman. I am Heavenleahangel. |
I am a femme with many facets.
I am a scientist femme who looks conservative during the 9 to 5. I am a shot girl femme who could sell anything to anyone with my cleavage. I am the femme your mother warned you about, surrounded by a shroud of sex, mystery, desire and danger. I am stubborn, opinionated, willful, effervescent, hilarious, warm and generous, and EVERYTHING can be turned into an innuendo. I am a musician who cannot live without the undercurrent of music as a running constant in her life. I am the girl who can go from tailored pants, flats, no makeup and a ponytail to 8" heels, fishnets, miniskirt and pinup hair in no time flat. I am a femme who can get lost in the museum of natural history and be blissfully happy, who wouldn't be hard pressed to spend hours in museums, planetariums, or on educational trips. I am secretly a die hard romantic who wants to be swept off her feet and cared for, but will fight you to the death if you ever imply that I cannot take care of myself. I'm independent and intimidating, but so worth it. |
I am femme
1. I am a study in contradictions
2. Heart, soul, appearance & sexual identity are femme 3. I am warm, loving, nurturing, kind, sensitive & insightful 4. I am also inpatient at times and do not easily suffer fools 5. I am a recovering perfectionist & frequently fall off the wagon 6. I accept the human frailties of others much more easily than accepting my own 7. I need to be in control so much in my professional life, I crave being able to give it up in other areas of my life 7. On the other hand, the thought of giving up control also scares me (even though "control" is really illusionary) 8. I become tearful at Hallmark commercials & laugh at silly jokes 9. I have many regrets about choices I have made in my life but work hard to accept that I did the best that I could under the circumstances 10. I dearly loved my dog Baby & miss her terribly. She was my first dog & I never knew that one could love an animal this much 11. I love looking feminine but must admit wearing<<disallowed word>>dresses or high heels really is not me 12. A former BF once said I was a cast-iron marshmallow (tough on the outside, soft on the inside) 13. I love to be fucked but have also been known to throw a good one myself if the stars and moon are in alignment & my partner so desires 14. The Daddy dynamic interests me greatly but also scares me (see number 7 above) 15. Writing all these makes me feel vulnerable & I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing.<<disallowed word>> Honest? Too honest? That's also me at times. I am femme. |
I am rough around the edges. When I am nervous i either talk too much or not at all. I have a loud laugh. I am a mother, student, preoccupied with life. I would rather say, "Damn, what was I thinking?" over "Damn, that was a missed opportunity!" I am kind, gentle-hearted, but don't fuck with me or my loved ones. I swear like a sailor and am as tattooed as one as well. I love with all I have, and give until I have nothing left, and am resourceful enough to find more. I have my faults, but they are mine and I am not broken. I am Mommy and little girl. I am bold, maybe too much so. I have my opinions, but will thoughtfully listen to others, and can be swayed. My truth is mine. I am an author, literary critic, and a seer of the unseen. I cry at puppy dog, and baby diaper commercials. I am sensitive to your words and quips. I can change my oil, flush the radiator, change a light bulb, but scream like a little bitch when I see a spider. I will spend pennies on me and dollars on those I love. I am like no one else, but am like everyone else. I am me, pure and complex...me.

Right now the femme that I am feels very vulnerable and fragile.
and thats ok because, Tomorrow I will be solid and feisty. |

Hello Everyone
This an amazing thread! So wonderful hearing about all you wonderful women. I have always found it difficult to describe myself. Some of the things you've said I can relate too. I'll have a go myself once I can get pen in hand and space in my head to think about who I am :-) Thank you ladies Flower :bunchflowers: |
Tiger femme out in the world but a purring kitten in Daddi's arms...
Fierce fishing femme who does it all herself down to gutting and cooking.. Photo taking femme who believes that everyone has a photo worthy moment in their day. A vulnerable babygirl who loves to be treated as such, at times, other times I prefer her calloused hands tightly around my throat as she grunts in my ear. |
I love this thread and all of the powerful words I've read here. It's one that's made me think, "Who am I?" And I love it when my brain is asked to think. ...
|

For myself..I have so many hats I wear..I am the femme that raised to responsible, socially functioning, loving adult children on my own working 2 and 3 jobs at a time to support them with no help from anyone...I'm a gramma of 2 of the most gorgeous babygirls in the world..I'm as strong as steel when I need to be..but as soft as satin when I am allowed to be..I'm the fierce lioness that will rip the throat out of anyone who fucks with my pride..and share thier carcass with said pride..I am the family matriarch..the rock that they lean on and come to any time any day..I'm there..by family I don't just by blood but also my chosen family..I can remodel a home from the wiring and plumbing up..I can do automotive repairs..I'm a tattooed, amazon bbw that is my childrens hero (thier words not mine)..I am the product of what would be if Martha Stewart and Paula Dean had a love child.I can prepare a 8 course eligant dinner party for 20 or cook your favorite meal and not a break a sweat...I make any house a home...I am mother, grandmother,nuruterer, survivor and in your face fighter..I've been beaten, raped and thrown away but will never give up.Almost a college graduate (first in my family)..I will always stand up for the underdog and defend the weak...I am the hot lover that will fuck you til your teeth sweat.and suck your c*ck til your forehead caves in..lady in the streets/whore in the sheets..and also the fragile girl who needs soft love making..and curled up in your arms all night..I am scared to death of storms and will sob while they are wreaking havoc..I grew up fishing, hunting, camping, riding dirtbikes and quads..I can go from denim to lace and be just as comfortable in either role..I am the femme that craves to be "Daddi's babygirl"..but not just for any ol Daddi. I want THE Daddi made just for me. I'm independant and strong..I believe in unicorns and fairies and yes I even believe in unconditional love. And above all..I am femme because it's what is in my heart and soul with every fiber of my being and I am worthy of that title.

I'm a queer, quirky, recovering academic femme who finds solace in books and theory more so than in the arms of butches who are too quick to be careless with my heart.
I'm a fiercely unapologetic feminist, recovering activist, semi-vegetarian, bike-riding pinko femme who prefers pretty dresses and knee-high boots as cycling wear over lycra and spandex. I'm a femme who loves fiercely, deeply, thoroughly, and strongly. This quote from Dorothy Allison is my love warrior's call to arms: “Don’t come at me with that sour-cream smile. Come at me as if I were worth your life—the life we make together. Take me like a turtle whose shell must be cracked, whose heart is ice, who needs your heat. Love me like a warrior, sweat up to your earlobes and all your hope between your teeth. Love me so I know I am at least as important as anythingyou have ever wanted.”I'm a consciousness-raising, hell-raising, hair-raising femme who is a study in contrasts. I am at once bold and brash while being doubtful and insecure. I will love you in one minute and want to run from you in the next unless you hold on tight and make me feel safe, warm, cherished, and wanted. In short, I'm the only femme I know how to be - unapologetically me. |
I am not submissive. I like working in the yard and I do not care of my nails get dirty. I love to rock. I burp, and it does not disgust me when I or someone else does it, same with a toot.
and lastly, I am a switch, I will not always be the bottom submissive femme to any butch. |
I am a girly girl and love most things that make me feel pretty. Dresses, jewelry, long hair but only some makeup. I am average girl, short and average weight. I don’t worry much about gaining or losing weight. I do exercise at least four times a week and prefer to do outside things like the track instead of going to a fitness center.
I am someone who always has my cell phone with me and will text back almost right away day and night. I enjoy talking and believe it or not even though I am a talker I am also a good listener. I may not answer the question right away but will think about it and then answer it. I am someone who is very busy with work, volunteering and kids but somehow feel alone a lot. Most consider me a little hmmn nutty but a lot of fun. I am drawn to people who may seem very different than most but I seem to understand them. When I love I do with my whole heart. When I am upset I tend to see the worst cinereo and run from things to stop from getting hurt. I love music and new things to do. I have no problem just packing a bag and taking off for a day or even a weekend with maybe no idea where we are going. |
Ive Been called a HIGH Femme
sometime i think i am...
I love doing my own nails as much as having them done in the shop, i love the way i feel spoiled when i can go to the shop and have them done.I love them long and I love that they are mine. I despise shopping just to shop i need a purpose. I have my girly stuff all over the top of my dresser and i am just fine with that, it is where i do my makeup and hair every morning. That is my space just for me. I love tanning and how my skin loves the sun.. I despise bugs in every form, i love camping please dont remind me there are bugs and we will get along just fine, i can put up a tent cook, not worry about showers etc. I have tools and know how to use them...id prefer to not break a nail using them so if i don't have to i wont. i once called my son in law to come change my tire on a dark road , he did then when he was done he reminded me that i had AAA, i reminded him that this is what he was here for ...to change my tire besides he reached me a lot faster than AAA would have. Im the woman in red, im the girl next door, im somewhere in the middle..Im that kind of girl. I like road trips where i don't have to drive however am willing to share if the road trip is a long one. I like books and movies and superb conversation...I like to talk, I like to share, I like listening and learning as well. I love the ocean, the mountains and everything in between. Im the girl one can take home to "momma" as well as the other girl lol Im the girl that can pull off business suits and mini skirts all in the same week. Im the kind of girl who believes in dressing properly for the occasion even if you are only going to the grocery store. |
i'm a few different things depending on what's going on. i'm currently tired a lot from my heavy schedule so that makes me less fun and patience for stupid is the first thing i ditch.
i know exactly what i want and what i don't want. i chase my dreams and make them a reality, i'm that driven. i'm attracted to kindness and anything less will make me quickly lose interest, so lower your voice....yelling just makes me deaf to you. sure i'm girly, but playing in the dirt is too much fun. i hope you like to eat because i express love with the creation of food. manners. i enjoy them. find yours. especially whilst in my house or expect to be expelled from it. i keep a fast pace so keep up....but when i'm taking time off don't rush me. i like to laugh. i crave it. romance shromance. ppffftttt. i'm a tactile femme. touching, kissing, rough housing. yes please! |
Just an interesting thought/observation I made today...
I noticed that my ex and I actually wear quite similar styled clothes sometimes (jeans and a V neck sweater), yet on her they look butch and on me they look femme.
I guess it does help that she wears her version on the baggier side, where as I wear mine on the tighter side. Still essentially the same outfit, with a totally different look. So my conclusion was, that it is not just the type of clothes, but how you wear them and how you hold yourself in them. I am a femme through and through. |
It's hard to say what makes me femme. I wonder just how femme I am sometimes. There are so many possible things that can make me femme but don't those things also make me a woman?
I can make a house a home. I can sew a dress. I can plan and make a dinner for 20. I am womanly. Probably the most important womanly thing I do is change those around me by listening and bearing witness to life. Does that make me femme? Not really. That skill is because I'm priestess. I love to wear heels with dark red polish peaking out of the open-toed shoes. Gold polish works as well. I love to make a big, wonderful meal for my lover and feel her gush with appreciation and joy. Does that make me a femme? I wear skirts and dresses, smell like roses, am the one lost kids are drawn to when they want to be found and my children trust me enough to reveal all their secrets to me. That makes me a mother. I love women. I love supporting and loving all women. Without my sisters growing up, I'd be dead or broken. My eldest sister taught me to love with an open mind and free spirit. The women in my life have made me whole. I'm proud to be a woman and love to be in my skin. I dance and am part of a local group of sisters who dance. This doesn't really make me femme but....it's close. When I see butch or masculine women, the part of me that loves women burst out with squealing desire and sighs. I am femme because I love butch women. I love the swagger, the muscled arms, the roughened hands. I love the patchwork of tanned skin, the quick wit and charm, the clever quips. I love the bold style, the vibrant living, the proud, strident walk. The sight of butch women makes me arch my back and watch with heady anticipation. I will inhale deeper and watch their every move. I'll adjust my skirt so I'm as appealing to the eye as possible. Sometimes I'll touch my neck unconsciously as I undress them with my mind. The sight of butch women makes me swoon and suddenly feel intoxicated with desire. I will sit, stand, pivot, walk or dance differently. I will emote differently. I will speak differently. I will flow into my most comfortable state of being. This is what makes me a femme. I am femme because I love butch women. |
I'm this kind of femme:
Lipstick and flats. Leaving powder on your collar. Bookish and introverted. Wouldn't know what to do at a nail salon, but knows my way around Sephora/a makeup counter. Jeans and sweaters most of the time, but who loves to get dressed up for a special event (or just a nice dinner). Nappy headed, dreadlocked womanist with trust issues who loves deeply and fiercely. Always puts a camera in your face, because butches are beautiful, and you're the most beautiful of all. Wounded, but ready to love again. Hopeful. Funny. Fiercely loyal. |

I am a Queer Femme who Is a Mother, a Grandmother, a Sister, an Aunt, a Daughter and a Friend. I have put my life on the line without a second thought. I have saved lives and held the hand of those whose time was running out. I am strong, compassionate, reserved and passionate. I listen and have strong shoulders. I have common sense and logic. I am an Aquarius. I hide my emotions and will smile and tell you everything is fine even if it is not. My love is pure and given without judgment or expectations. I believe in friendship, communication and laughter. I am sweet with a sassy, mysterious side. I love romance and hand holding; yet, I also like lustful raunchy sex. I am lady who is strong willed and mindful; yet, I have a submissive side. I'm a kisser, a hugger, and a hand holder. I am patient, nurturing and generous, but yet I can also be unemotional and detached. I have a warped sense of humor. I am funny and quite unique. I'm a humanitarian. I am honest and loyal, almost to a fault. In my true German blood, I have a tendency to be stubborn and head strong. I make friends easily but once on my bad side that is where you stay.
I am supportive and respectful. I will try anything twice - this way I can make sure I didn't like it the first time. I am a great defender and protector, not only in what I believe, but to those I love and hold dear. I'm a flirt. I like old movies and football. I like to dress up and dress down and I look good both ways. I wear make up; sometimes I don't, but I always smell good. I love my pedicures and manicures and yet I am not afraid to get messy. I love to cook and bake. I show my gratitude and I am thoughtful and respectful. I love to spoil and pamper'; you will always know where you stand with me. I love to cuddle closely, but yet I enjoy my space. I'm a giver. I'm a lover. I' a helper. I enjoy a good movie, but I also love to read. I love rainy days and hot tea. I love over sized t-shirts and a good cup of coffee. I have a green thumb and a sense for design and décor. I love a clean and tidy home and I enjoy being organized. I always have a camera and a sense of adventure. I am understanding. I am forgiving and I am fair. I'm great at multitasking. I enjoy music of all types. I love Lowe's as much as I love Ulta. I am a Lady, always. I am, Me. |
I am the femme that is a port in the storm for the butch that has the courage to go out into an unaccepting, unforgiving world to be exactly who and what they are
I am the femme that is the keeper of butch secrets I am the femme in whose lap lays a butch who needs solace but will never tell another living soul about that need The butch card will never be revoked by me. I am strong and at times, weak; brave and at times, fearful; courageous and at times-not-so-much I am an every-woman and at the same time, uniquely me I am femme |
I'm too sexy for my self!
I discovered velcro rollers (reminds me of sponge curlers way back when) I love what they do for my hair, and no more heat treatment. :| |
I know who I am not....which is more poignant at the moment and of course leads to self knowledge.
I am not that femme who can be with someone who says "I can be butch". I am not that femme who can be with someone who says "I can do that for awhile until we figure out why you are like you are". |
