I'm a femme lesbian, I've turned...Good day,<br />I'm a femme lesbian, I've turned 26 this year. I'm white and live in South Africa. English isn't my mother tongue but Afrikaans is. Just like Charlize Theron. <br />I'm a farm girl, and can pretty much do anything, as I'm the oldest of 4 children and the only daughter.<br /><br />I usually have long golden blonde lockey hair that falls down my mid-back. With my sparkley denim-blue eyes and natural make-up you wouldn't say I'm gay. Long story short, I cut 35 cm plus of my hair off, and donated it to a cancer org. That makes wigs for people who suffer of cancer. I sport a short hairstyle that's half pixie half mowhawk. It's funny how stereotypes rule the world. When I have long hair no one notices I'm gay, but I guess that's what makes a bit of mystery so much fun. When my hair is short, everyone assumes I'm gay, and butch too. They don't notice I'm actually still wearing the same womens clothes and shoes, with the make-up. They only notice the hair. So automatically you "appear" butch in every way. I love my long hair and when my year of wearing short hair for cancer is over, it's back to growing my sexy locks. Lots of work but still love it.<br />I enjoyed your sarcasm because I saw what you meant by it. Well written. Ultimately a lesbian woman comes in any shape,form or appearance. It's how you see yourself that matters. Beauty comes from the heart. You can be a model and I won't notice you, but be beautiful inside and I will notice you. Beauty is truely in the eye of the beholder. I firmly believe in that. We are all women, and every woman is beautiful. Love yourself before you can love someone else. Because no one else can make you happy but you yourself. If you are happy with yourself, you will attracct the right type of person into your life, not to heal, fix or make happy, but to share in your happiness with her happiness. Always remember that.<br /><br />Kind Regards <br />Mags. <br />Magshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389163396676899625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-22173422852558718602013-04-21T18:00:19.714-07:002013-04-21T18:00:19.714-07:00Hahahahaha, thanks for making my day (night).

True that when a woman is involved in an existencial/emotional/whatever crisis first thing to do is going to the hairdresser. That's my case I guess. And although I have had almost always a boring long hair, lately I am addicted to shocking, rebel hairdoes and colors. I'm bisexual by the way...or sort of cos never been able to just choose men and forget women or viceversa. C'mon girls...it's so healthy to laugh on ourselves and this is just an oversarcastic and funny post. That's all...sorry for my extrange English, it's not my mother tonge ;)<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />NaksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-79362194508857994002013-03-13T22:37:28.332-07:002013-03-13T22:37:28.332-07:00Wait, so femmes get a bad review just because we d...Wait, so femmes get a bad review just because we don't fall into the peer pressure of having short hair just to show we're gay?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-23763173617507604492012-08-04T06:40:17.395-07:002012-08-04T06:40:17.395-07:00i like my hair long and super crimpy. kinda femme ...i like my hair long and super crimpy. kinda femme kinda notAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-6142846027248462812012-07-30T11:26:12.491-07:002012-07-30T11:26:12.491-07:00I love reading all the comments on here...

Furthermore, I have had short hairstyles even though I am femme, and from my experience I prefer long styles as I can wake up, throw it in a ponytail or bun rather than spend 10 minutes positioning it with wax just right. Not to mention time spent washing it when it gets nasty from all that product or money wasted on trims at the salon for it's upkeep.

Most African American women still straighten their hair (75%, by some estimates). I try not judge others, butI stopped doing this years ago -- not really as a political statement, but because I was tired of the time, expense, and pain (yes pain) involved. Most black women have hair horror stories -- of beauticians that leave caustic straightening solutions on their heads so long that they result in chemical burns, of being told their hair is "bad," etc. I also enjoy swimming and I was tired of avoiding any kind of moisture in fear of my hair "going back." Now I'm "nappy and happy!" <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I notice that many African American lesbians have shaved heads or very short natural hair. I have been approached by gay women on more than one occasion, some quite younger than me. I politely decline, but why do so many people think that natural hair=gay?

My issue is that your article pokes fun in some places and not in others, I am willing to say “hey perhaps that’s just my reading”. I get that you were being humorous I just don’t think there was any humour in some of your suggestions. My bad. You know as well as I that internalised homophobia is not something foreign to our community and so it wouldn’t be farfetched to think that perhaps your article portrayed a little of your own. Apologies. Oh I don’t take all articles that seriously just ones that catch my fancy from day to day.Bill Graberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454996457013095601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-77047303462582117052008-09-13T09:06:00.000-07:002008-09-13T09:06:00.000-07:00Totally agree with shakeyermoneymaka.

I am, in fact, very much a feminist and was playing around with the over generalization of stereotypes in this article. Obviously I don't think that just because you are a masculine woman you can fix a car, and vice versa. The article was written with the idea that the readers would pick up on my overly sarcastic sense of humor and desire to play a bit of the devil's advocate on my own sexual orientation.ReneeGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12868834978136618763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-40045804323169818832008-08-15T00:22:00.000-07:002008-08-15T00:22:00.000-07:00What faith said was "In the mood to change your st...What faith said was "In the mood to change your style?

Although obviously attempting humour the article plays on dangerous stereotypes, not even ridiculing them but seemingly reinforcing them. Not only is the buzz cut= man haters problematic (and not in the least bit funny) as the women you joke about have often formed the vanguard within a number of movements not least the feminist and LGBTi. You would do well to show them respect rather than outright mockery. What I found most ridiculous was your opening paragraph. “They may, at first glance, appear to be male, but alas! they are indeed women.” Alas? Why alas? I’m personally quite pleased they are women. Secondly you come across as having one or two man hating issues yourself. Your suggestion that they are women because they have a kind heart behind their masculine exterior suggests that this is what separates them from men who in converse must not have kind hearts, what do their hearts have to do with anything really? Let me not even get into they are good at ‘fixing things like your car’. Come off it just because they portray some sort of masculinity which you think can be watered down to some sort of ridiculous essentialism whereby masculinity = able to fix things. Frankly I find your article closed minded and in bad tasteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-42360006353061679042008-08-06T04:55:00.000-07:002008-08-06T04:55:00.000-07:00Along a similiar vein, check out this article:http...Along a similiar vein, check out this article:<BR/><BR/>http://www.lesbilicious.co.uk/community/lesbian-hair-the-secrets-untangled/#more-706Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8553107808744980875.post-67579801121056236072008-02-13T09:08:00.000-08:002008-02-13T09:08:00.000-08:00whaa kate's got her own hairstyle.. too bad it's s...whaa kate's got her own hairstyle.. too bad it's such a hard one..
