Butch

I am a butch. This blog is about what I think. If you do not know what butch means, you are probably on the wrong blog. In the interests of inclusion, though, I can tell you that “butch” means a lesbian that is big, strong, tough, more macho, less girly. Of course, there are no hard and fast rules – which is an ongoing theme in my blog (and in the comments), but those are the basics. A butch will most likely not wear makeup. A butch is often referred to as “sir” by someone who is not paying attention. What else? I am, after all, not just a butch. I am happily married to the most amazing woman ever, and the mother of two fantastic kids. I am also a lover of, in no particular order, beer, bow ties, breasts, movies, hiking, bookstores, travel, dogs, geocaching, polar bears, the gym, music, gadgets, and more. By day, I am an intrepid corporate entertainment lawyer. Although I try hard not to be labeled as such – sporting a bleached Mohawk, for example. Think more entertainment and less corporate. By night, bring it all on! In my blog, I talk about things from a butch perspective, but this is not just for butches. We all love our femmes. Please do not let me offend femmes, mine in particular! If you like what you read here, I hope you will comment and let me know what you think. If you do not like what you read, well, what the hell do I care? Start your own blog. Be Butch.

A Butch Speed Queen – in the 1920s!

Do you know who Joe Carstairs is? I didn’t until a few weeks ago. According to Wikipedia, “Carstairs lived a colourful life. She usually dressed as a man, had tattooed arms, and loved machines, adventure and speed. Openly lesbian, she had numerous affairs with women, including Dolly Wilde—Oscar Wilde‘s niece and a fellow ambulance driver … Read more

Explicit Spinning

by

Today, I was going through a bunch of new music. One of the cool benefits of being a DJ is that I get access to some of the industry music releases. Because I have been sick, I had a lot of downloads to plow through. This bunch includes quite a few songs with lyrics bleeped … Read more

On My Body

by

Hey Bots! I need some help as I am working on one of my focus areas – Be healthy: less chemicals on and in my body. Today, let’s focus on the “on” my body. Specifically, body wash and hair products. I have been using Jack Black facial moisturizer for several years. I really like it. … Read more

I Resolve To Be Perfect!

by

Over the past few weeks, I have been reflecting on what I’d like to accomplish and focus on this year. Perhaps this extended period of navel gazing is because of my fever, or lack of sleep (I’ve got pneumonia). Whatever the reason, I appreciate the renewed focus. Like many of you, the new year brings … Read more

Happy New Year!

by

Happy New Year everyone! I’ve spent most of the last 2 weeks in bed or on the couch because I’ve been really sick with Pneumonia. That didn’t stop us from ringing in the New Year, however. Instead of splashing out on the town, we had a quiet night in as a family. My wife and … Read more

Keep on Your Tomboy Toes!

by

Have you heard of Tomboy Toes? They are a new shoe company designing for women, butches, trans people, MOC folks – and anyone who might want a more masculine shoe than those traditionally found in the women’s section. I have been paying attention to them for some time now, watching their progress and rooting them … Read more

Thorn in My Butch Paw

by

This weekend I did some work in the garden. Dirty, difficult work. Adding sprinklers to each rose bush that we planted to keep our dog off of the back hill. Julia Childs’ Roses, in case you are curious. I am not a rose kind of Butch. Not much into gardening. I have a black thumb, … Read more

I Have Barbie Feet!

by

My wife came home from her first physical therapy appointment today. She is having some issues with her hip. Anyway, I asked her how it went. “Good,” she says. “The therapist evaluated my feet, calves, knees, the whole chain. She told me that I have Barbie Feet!” I could tell by the smile on her … Read more
