ThreeWay: Dude Looks Like a Lady
Julia: So... you know when you're walking down the street and you see a hot butch dyke and your head turns and you smile and get flirty... only to realize—with GREAT disappointment—"Oh, that's a dude. Not a dyke. Dammit."
Amy: Of course. Happens more than I'd like to admit.
Elizabeth: Ugh. I have to remind myself every time I go to the East Village that the hot bulldaggers everywhere are in fact dumb, stupid, cisgendered boys.
Julia: Right?
Amy: It's sad, really. Sometimes it's your professor or even worse, your dad's friend and then it's just embarrassing.
Julia: OMG I know. I get so disappointed. Like, "What a waste." Which is so lame of me, but... whatever.
Amy: "What a waste," that's a great way to look at it. Waste of what though? Your time? Your enthusiasm? Or waste of a person?
Julia: Cuteness. On a boy.
Elizabeth: I've heard Liederman use the term "Should-bian."
Julia: Ha ha!
Amy: TRUE. Although.... there are SO many more hot boys out there that I’ve just embraced/accepted it.
Julia: Sigh. You are so forward thinking, Amy. Someday I will mature and be like you.
Amy: Otherwise, you'd never be able to flirt! Haha.
Julia: So there’s this blog on blogspot which has taken the dilemna of dudes who look like dykes to a whole new level... of funny.
Amy: I think the hilarity is in its specificity of "old" lesbians.
Julia: I know!
Amy: Because there are a couple entries titled "men who look like youngish lesbians." Snooze. That's boring.
Elizabeth: I especially love it because it turns that whole dull and homophobic "that woman looks man" thing on its head. And also because its just hilarious.
Julia: That is a really good point, E. It's kinda subversive, right? And some of these slay me. Like David Sylvian on the second page? How is that not a lesbian?!?!?!
Amy: Hang on let me look…
Elizabeth: HA!
Julia: One of these guys even wrote a book of "whimsical poems" called Old Possum's Book of Practical Shoes. If that doesn't make ANYONE a lesbian, I don't know what does.
Amy: LOL Totally. And while we're on the second page, one of my faves is Norm Coleman.
Julia: Totally! All he needs is some berks and cargo shorts. And three dogs.
Amy: Total women's basketball coach.
Julia: RIGHT?! Okay, but the one that really really REALLY

How 'bout we just talk about women? I'm neither butch nor femme, nor any other label you'd like to slap on me. I'm just a woman who loves women and who wants to be loved by a woman, as a woman. Period.

My favorite topic
If I tried to write everything I love about femmes my computer might well explode. I'll try to maintain focus by sticking to the five senses:
1. I love her scent - Lancome's Magie Noir will someday be the death of me (au natural works, too.)
2. I love to touch her and I love the way all she has to do is look like she's going to touch me. . . .
3. I love the sound of her voice whispering in my ear as she brushes her fingers across my neck stubble.
4. I love the way she walks into a room and instantly owns it. I also love to watch her as she walks away.
5. Last and by no means least — I love the way she tastes.
[Sending a cyber bouquet to all the femmes who visit VP.]
And now, I'll be in my bunk.

right on sister !!
deedee~ i doubt that it will ever happen. and if you're a femme, who's attracted to femme's.....well, I'm pretty sure - hell will freeze over before that lifestyle is ever discussed.
i feel ya.
Cherchez la femme!
DeeDee, why don't you post a blog about femmes? (if you can - I haven't really explored the possibilities on this site). Who knows how many (lurking) women might be truly grateful?
Maybe hell has frozen over
I'm with Annie on this--has hell frozen over?
Deedee and/or LongBeach why not cleverly use the occasion of one of these homages to butches to pen your own 'ode to femmes' rebuttal?
Mystics,
This attitude within our own community, goes much deeper than an 'ode to femmes rebuttal' could ever manage to elucidate in some women's hearts and minds.....
Hmm...
And yet, L Word was mostly all femmes all the time...
Anyway, I'm one of the 'community' and don't have those attitudes and would more than welcome any elucidation.
It's really odd Mystics.....
Since day one, you and I have gone around in circles on this website. But, you know what? I've always understood and respected, your ability to separate 'emotions' and 'reality'.... And, believe it or not Mystics, I find that an exceptional quality in you. I will guarantee you that over a cup of tea, or a glass of wine, that we could have some awesome discussions.
But here, on this website, I was recently told - in not so many words - that, regardless of how hard I am trying to learn, my lack of understanding the butch/femme dynamic, is not a welcome point of view. So, with that in mind, I will refrain from taking this to the next level.
Okey-dokey, LB. I'm sorry
Okey-dokey, LB. I'm sorry you have felt silenced, because, yes, although you and I have gone 'round in circles many a time, on THIS issue--which I'm decidedly neutral on--I think over time you've demonstrated a great willingness to step outside your comfort zone and TRY to understand something different to your experience. And as Exhibit A I would offer that you think Rachel Maddow is hot--I mean how much more can the butch-loving world ask of you?
Mystics,
Thank you for understanding....
Deedee, darlin': Amy,
Deedee, darlin': Amy, Elizabeth and I are butch-droolin'-over femmes who have bonded over our butch-droolin'-over ways, so it's only to be expected that the topic will crop up with some regularity with us, especially in a column like this one dedicated to exploring topics related to gender and sexuality. That said, our celebration of butches certainly shouldn't be read as an attack on women who love girly girls--especially considering that the butches we are lusting over often (thank Jeebus!) fall into this category. There are plenty of writers here who dig the more girly aesthetic; I think it's just that, with the exception of Staceyanne and Moon, those folks don't write about sex much. I would like to see that change, too, from time to time! (I'm lookin' at YOU Crandall and Blackwell!)
Also, Deedee, I think you will dig next week's ThreeWay. Stick around...
And for CMW below, I hope you know us well enough by now to know that any fun we poke around here isn't of the malicious variety, but intended with good-humor and a generous helping of self-deprecating sensibility, if also with a smattering of mischievous tomfoolery.
Oh, I do know, trust me
That's why I didn't come completely unglued.
Just been a tough week in the Battle Creek area, dealing with similar statements directed at me, and not in a fun or friendly way, by women who claimed to be feminists but thought I should adhere to patriarchal gender expectations. Thanks to certain views promoted at the MWMF, I end up dealing with this sort of thing every August, it seems. The extremists on the other side at Camp Trans aren't helping matters.
Probably would have been better had my boss sent me somewhere more enlightened and progressive, say for instance, Alabama. Then I would have been able to enjoy your humor like I usually do.
Yeah SERIOUSLY
Blackwell!

And way to change the subject, Moonie. When are you going to write another humpy blog? Perhaps one about wild women in the woods...
Hey Moon!!
The sky of VP isn't the same during an eclipse, welcome back. we've missing you.

Erin Blackwell, she talk about femme...
You cute little cat, you broke Pepe's heart
-Do not follow me, I'M LOST-
Why bother?
After all, it's so much more entertaining to make fun of people for their appearance, and especially for failing to meet patrairchal gender expectations and standards.
WTF happened to eric
WTF happened to eric carmen?!!!! my god, are we sure that's even him?? i'm serious, cuz the guy had to have a total face transplant for it to be him. duuuude there is no way. he would have been at the top of my list of shouldbians before he became an alien. he was sooooo cute now look at him.

Neil Finn's on there!
I don't know about mistaking him for a lesbian, but I always thought this song should be a lesbian anthem ...

Slightly off topic, but
I followed your link to Sarah McLachlan's fan site and found a discription of this music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EWybv7vTJ38&feature=fvst from her song 'World on Fire.' I'd never seen it (it's been six years since I owned a television) but everyone should. Wow.
on fire
Caring about ppl is never off topic. I love that video too, altho she says it cost $15 when in reality, if the editor and person who did the graphics/effects work was paid it would have cost a lot more than that. But she gets the point across! and she did donate tons to charity.
Makes you think twice and ten times about the way we spend money and use our lives.
Kind of in the same vein but less detailed about what could be done with all that $$ is this vid:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ux-9877GpRg&feature=channel_page
Yeah
Maybe the editor worked for free in light of the cause? Who knows....
That video was interesting. I've never understood the amount of money politicians feel is necessary to put on their shows, be it campaigns, inaugurations, whatever. I also think these wealthy presidents (which includes all of them anymore) would be more impressive if they refused to be paid for the job. It's not like most of them need the money and they would still get all sorts of perks, travel arrangements, free housing, etc.
The governor of Tennessee turned down a salary, stating he was already wealthy enough and didn't need the state's money wasted on him. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phil_Bredesen I wish more politicians would follow that example.
Thanks for watching that vid
Thanks for watching that vid with an open mind. I'd like to see politicians doing fundraisers all over the country (or wherever they're campaigning) for causes they believe in instead of just standing on stages saying the same stump speeches over and over. We'd get to know them better that way, they'd get publicity because news stations would cover it and they could tie in their talking points to whatevever is relevant to the cause.
Good for Phil Bredesen! One of my favorite feminist sites is Tennessee Guerilla Women http://guerillawomentn.blogspot.com/ and they make a lot of fun of primitive, sexist TN politicians ("the Tennessee Taliban"). Glad to hear there may be some "non-Taliban" guys over there!
Wow!
Just, well, wow.
