I was just googling dykalicious and woo! the first few posts are my blog. I figured that was fair, since I made up the word. But it turns out I didn't - or at least I didn't do it first. Someone has even posted it to Urban Dictionary. I don't know whether to be sad or happy - so I'll be sappy instead. =)
This brings us to the subject of labels, something I've spent sometime thinking about. Now I'm not the most feminine of girlies. I don't wear make-up (urgh!) and am much more comfy in jeans and a t-shirt than a skirt. High-heels? Not gonna happen.
It's safe to say I'm not 'femme' or a 'lipstick lesbian.' BUT I don't consider myself butch either. I don't like the term 'soft butch' because I'm not soft - or butch, so how can I be both? The term butch, to me, seems to indicate a role as much as anything, and a certain masculinity and hardness that I just can't identify with. Androgynous doesn't fit either because that seems to denote a certain sexlessness that I'm not comfortable with.
I think, if I have to choose I'll go with 'chapstick lesbian' as coined by Ellen Degeneres. Because it's funny, casual, and cool. Like me =).
*Claims of funny, casual, and cool by this author are actually untrue. I'm going to go hang with my cat now, and eat her food because I can't be bothered cooking.
*Ah, that's right, it's the night for the razzle =). I don't have to cook. Yay!
