Be Butch.
Hello friends. My adventure last week has gotten me thinking. I will share a bit about the adventure as soon as I make the time to write it. In the meantime, I have started a bucket list. I know it’s trite, but hear me out. I had so much fun in Cabo and did so … Read more
My gorgeous fiancée is no longer my fiancée. We decided to split up about 3 months ago. Now, I am just me (and my kids, and my family, and my friends, but you get what I mean). I am trying to take a light (but broken) hearted approach to sharing this with you. After all, … Read more
I am delighted to go to sleep tonight knowing that my President, your President, was re-elected. I am relieved to know that the majority of my country values equality, civil rights, and concern for those with less and those who can’t, over government dictated religious/moral beliefs, unfairness, and conserving wealth and privilege for those who … Read more
Let me set the scene for you. I’m out with some friends of mine at a hipster new place in the gayborhood. [For you locals: I happen to like this place a lot. It’s called 100 Wines and I have been there a couple of times.] There’s a 45 minute wait. It’s got low lighting, … Read more
There are lots of break ups right now. Colleagues, friends, family. It happens to everyone – even to those who think they might be pretty damn close to perfect. Lesbians, even butches, break up.

Fess up. No butch is 100% butch. We all lose butch points here or there. I have a Hello Kitty Visa card. Yes, that’s right. Hello Kitty. It’s pink and black and absolutely adorable. And totally un-butch. Or, is it? More often than not, the woman taking my card freaks out about how cute it … Read more
This morning I was dropping my kids off at school when I realized something. While walking back to my car, I saw myself through another mom’s eyes. I inhaled sharply as I realized that this morning, I look like just another lesbian. Meaning, stereotypically boyish/sloppy/casual. I spend a fair amount of time talking about style … Read more
Let’s talk about something light and fluffy on this Tuesday. The femme faux pas. What I am referring to here are things that our femmes do that are similar to our own butch fails (Butch Fails). But, since they are femmes, we would never call them that. They are femmes, after all, the kinder and … Read more
