LadyAlchemy here...

Hi all,

I am new to this site and hoping to make some friends here. I am an older BBW femme, approaching the big five-O...used to be very high maintenance but as I have aged, my need for comfort has crept in. I still like to dress up in full battle gear and face paint but I now see it as dressing up instead of just dressing. I'd rather be working in my garden, playing with the kids, studying herbalism and alchemy or working on a home improvement project than sitting at the make up counters in Macy's.

One of the reasons for this change may be because I am the survivor of a hate crime. It was a number of years ago and I have gone through a lot of processing, values clarification, and healing finally realizing that LIVING WELL is not just the best "revenge", it is the only true revenge. I tend to be a very spiritual person and have been studying Wiccan traditions for almost 30 years now.

I am just coming out of an almost 10 year relationship. Nothing particularly bad happened, we just realized we were better friends at this point than lovers. See, I really am rather femme and she doesn't identify as butch at all at this point. Anyway...I hope to meet some new friends here!

Blessings,

LadyAlchemy

Hi there BigButchMistie and SnackTime!

Thanks for the welcome! I see some of you all know how to post pictures here. How does one do that? Is it a special privilege? I'd like to post my own avatar but can't figure it out. LOL,

I believe if you have a membership then you can post a pic. However, there are avatars generated for non members for you to use...

Thanks for taking the time to answer! It sounds like it is a privilege that I will have to look into accessing!
