oh that's cool. I just moved back home from 10 years in the UK and amsterdam. Happy to be back on the drive!

There's an exhibit at the cultch starting on the 9th about female masculinity, you going to check it out?

and I've just gone to ManUp - the 5 year celebration. Did you go?

Welcome back to Vancouver HB! I remember a few super b/f brunches before you left. Perhaps we can do a coffee klatch on the Drive. I didn't do well organizing a femme tea. lol

cheers from Abbotsford,
Candice

Oh I get the general idea a butch-femme brunch wouldn't be much appealing. Most of the people I meet my age who*I* would consider butch, don't refer to themselves that way because they think that painting their toe nails or baking or crying at movies to disqualify them... that and they don't wipe themselves with steel wool after peeing and cut their dinner with a chain saw.

I do miss London for some things. relaxed concepts of female and even feminine-masculinity in comparison to the lumberjack you have to be here and the stereotyping is mind boggling... you know what one gal said to me when we were talking about profiles on POF, I suggested she actually put "femme" on her profile if that's what she wants in a partner, femmes... no, she said, I thought if I did that I'd get fluffy types who were shallow and liked to shop, but she didn't know why she thought that.
"maybe it's because you see femininity as inherently shallow and stupid?" was my suggestion, though I said it more diplomatically than that. Jesus wept!

still. still the way dykes my age think. nothing has changed since I went away.

The ManUp nights, though full of youngsters, are a little bit more my speed.

Ha! I've had fun when I go to Man Up, but I'm only 30 and some of the people there look really young to me. The people that talk to me at Man Up are mostly gay guys who loved the dresses I wear when I go lol.

Being a single femme in Vancouver has been really different than when I was a single femme in San Francisco, that's for damn sure.
