Lesbian Fashionistas

For your edification today,
I present a short primer
on classic lesbian fashion.

First up: a couple of photos
of the unabashedly butch Lea DeLaria,
for all you fans out there of Orange is the New Black.



Of course, no lesbian wardrobe
is complete without some plaid!


Despite stereotypes, however,
lots of lesbians
DO dress girly-girl.


Lipstick lesbians even have
their own pride flag!


To help everyone
spot lesbians more easily,
here's a handy dandy
Reference Guide --

I'm not saying on WHICH end of the 
Lesbian Fashion Spectrum my human falls, 
but I'll just quietly leave THIS here 
and pussyfoot away . . . .

And why do so many
lesbians NEED eye patches?

Ohh
I LOVE me a woman in a suit! Love, love, love a butch.
I have this thing that I am irresistibly attracted to men's cuts in nice colors and textures and you don't get that unless you buy high fashion or...have a very good tailor and lots of money.

Now, the thing about eye patches is....

LOL

XOXO

Bathwater said...

do you think you can judge a woman by the way she dresses alone?

jaz@octoberfarm said...

my eyes almost got poked out just looking at that last pic!

Bob said...

Torpedo dead ahead!

Travel said...

Dress for your comfort and happiness. Nice Knives!

Sooo-this-is-me said...

Ha! If you're worried about having an eye poked, try being a gay man when we... umm.. umm.. well google it.

DEZMOND said...

She has an eye patch because that blond tart almost poked her eye with that pointed bra.

Forsythia said...

Dezmond: also known as a "ready-aim-fire" bra.

Mistress Maddie said...

That last picture cracked me up!!! Poor Jayne Mansfield put many an eye out!!! My favorite lesbian butch is Murray Hill!!!!!!

Kirk said...

Amblyopia, maybe?

Anyway, that looks like Jayne Mansfield on the right in that last picture.

Parnassus said...

Hello Debra, Definitely the tablecloth one today!

Ur-spo said...

I liked the T-shirt the best

Oblio said...

I love this blog so much and think Debra She Who Seeks is one of my newest benchmarks for being a human being. THANK YOU!!!!!

Busy Bee Suz said...

I laughed so hard at the plaid shirt and matching tablecloth. ;)
Eye patches?? Thank goodness we don't have pointy bras anymore!

Adam said...

If I had to lose an eye,that would be the preferred choice.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Kirk -- I had to look up the meaning of "amblyopia" and discovered it's a fancy-shmancy word for "lazy eye." And yes, I believe you're right about Jayne Mansfield! I'm wondering if the woman with her isn't her Mom, actually, because there is a certain physical resemblance in their faces. The eye patch is just photoshopped, I'm sure.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Oblio -- Awwww, yer makin' me blush!

Moving with Mitchell said...

You failed to mention Pirate Lesbian. What a relief that you included the photo!

Tundra Bunny said...

What, no photo of Lady Gaga in her torpedo tit bra that shoots fireworks?

Mike said...

Jayne sort of looks like the back end of a 57 chevy in that picture.

jono said...

Well, plaid IS my favorite color! No wonder I get along well with lesbians.
I'm surprised Jane Mansfield didn't poke more eyes out. Isn't that her mother next to her?

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Mike -- Ha ha, yes -- "nice fins!"

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Tundra Bunny -- Damn! I forgot about that Lady Gaga bra! I always wanted one for myself, too.

@ Jono -- Yes, that's my theory too. There's a facial resemblance.

Marie Smith said...

I know a teacher who always said that but I don’t think he meant it in the same way. Did he?

Magaly Guerrero said...

Eye patches and lovely blades. Lesbians have all the fun!

Rommy said...

I lost some good tea laughing at that Simpsons meme!

Elderberry-Rob said...

lol, like the last pic a lot, like a bit of plaid - in fact am fairly obsessed with kilts at the moment - who knew, not a lesbian myself, but will ensure I wear something underneath as if I get one I could be attracting admiring glances for all sorts of reasons!

Guillaume said...

When I think of a lipstick lesbian, I always think of Carol played by Cate Blanchett.

Joanne Noragon said...

Matching tablecloth. OMG!!!

Lady M said...

That is a terrific picture of you! I am digging it!

Cal's Canadian Cave of Coolness said...

Jayne Mansfield's daughter is Olivia Benson on Law and Order SVU.

Furree Katt said...

Omg. I stumbled upon your blog by clicking from profile to profile, and I love it. You're hilarious!

I love it when HRH makes an appearance! Lea is a rock star in my book. She's talented, confident, and proud. She's awesome.

e said...

Love, love, love a butch lesbian! I tend towards that direction myself but with more of an 'old woman next door who is faintly androgynous' air. Or so I imagine. Lol.

Thanks for the pix and lolz! Argh!

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ e -- Hahaha, love your self-description! I don't consider myself to be very butch either, but have been called "sporty" in my day, whatever the hell that means, LOL,

Tundra Bunny said...

Sporty?! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Insomniac's Attic said...

That last picture is quite impressive ... fun and games indeed! lololol

Martha said...

Fundy Blue said...

Your tin foil hat picture from last year is a classic, Debra!

baili said...

i liked your image :)

The song “Seventy Six Trombones Led The Big Parade” is going over and over in my head, dammit! Anyway, everyone is obviously having a great time. One of those women in suits looks uncannily like a slimmer version of my late F2M friend Jan who ended life as David and did mediaeval re-enactments. David’s armour was laid out on display at his memorial service by the Yarra river, and ashes laid in a tiny toy Viking boat which was sent down the river as he had wished. (Well, he really wanted a proper Viking funeral, but the local council would not have been pleased.)

I first came across the word “amblyopia” in a Peanuts comic, during my childhood. Linus is going around with an eye patch to correct his vision. He is thankful that it is so simple to correct this condition.

I love these!
Thanks for the smiles :D
