OFOS Butches & Femmes

Darth Denkay · 11-23-2009, 06:59 PM

I call myself old school because I honor and respect the butches and femmes who paved the way for us to be like we are. I value our history. I value chivalry, being a gentleman (or gentlewoman/gentleperson). Manners, respect, loyalty - these are some of the things I strive to exude as a partner. I need to run so will probably add more later, but this is at least a start.

*Peeks round the door* Hello

English OFOS femme princess here.

Why am I old school???? I'm not entirely sure but new school doesn't feel right to me

I'm bumping this up; for sure there has to be OS butches and femmes.

Years ago, I did a 2-man drag show based on the 1950s.
My best friend and I converted the dance floor at a gay bar to
a basketball court and a gym as a fictional
Eisenhower High School in 1956.

We made a lot of money that night impersonating singers of the 1950s.
We borrowed a white baby grand piano from the local playhouse,
guitars and sax's.

This is one of the songs I did solo
from Sha Na Na:

Couldn't have said it better. As a trans brother of mine put it -- I am a man of integrity.

Just like WickedWarrick said.. I, too, respect those who have paved the way for us, I respect and value not only our history, but our way of life, our way of interacting, the dynamics we share, and the love and respect amongst us.
With that said..
I call myself old fashioned/old school because that is the dynamics of our love, our relationship, and our way of life.. hell you could say that I'm a modern day June Cleaver with a twist!

I was thinking how much OFOS comes off as a train of thinking or a set of rules. I don't know if that applies to everyone who considers themselves OFOS. I know it doesn't for me. Although I'm self-described as OFOS. Anyway, I hope this thread will grow with personal stories and experiences or just to bond online with like-minded folks.,

This NEEDS bumping...

Canela · 01-30-2010, 02:56 PM

I have a question--

In your opinion, do Old Fashioned/Old School and Stone go hand in hand?

Just wondering what interpretations there might be...
