New Discoveries

DkWz20oqUpmtv0wfJrIUDce1o1_400I love finding new blogs, especially funny ones, really well-written ones, or those posted by women I can relate to. Yesterday I coerced DPR into posting an HNT and someone we didn’t know, going by the name of DykeEvolution, posted a very appreciative comment of her photo. Ironically, today I was catching up on G’s blog at Can I Help You, Sir? there she was again! I went to check out her blog and while I have a lot to catch up on reading-wise, I found this fantastic quote on her home page by Tristan Taormino. Because we all (Tristan, Jen, and I) share the same proclivity for uber-butch women, I thought I’d repost the quote here:

“I love butch girls. Girls with slick, shiny, barbershop haircuts, trimmed so short your fingertips can barely grip it. Girls with shirts that button the other way. Girls that swagger… Girls who get stared at in the ladies’ room, girls who shop in the boys department, girls who live every moment looking like they weren’t supposed to. Girls with hands that touch me like they have been exploring my body their entire lives… It is the girls that get called sir every day who make me catch my breath, the girls with strong jaws who buckle my knees, the girls who are a different gender who make me want to lay down for them.” – Tristan Taormino

Thanks Tristan! And thank  you, Jen, I look forward to reading you!

Do you follow souperjen24 on Twitter? That’s Dyke Evolution! (I might be getting the numbers wrong and she may not have any numbers at all, so check my friends list.)

Hi! I’m new here, finding my way from Packing Vocals, only to discover your online love for my buddy Jen!

Glad you found her. She’s an awesome chick, and always a great read. As, it seems to me, are you!

So hello, and I will definitely be back!

I love that quote.. did you post it to FB? I’ve read it somewhere else recently…

anyhow, when I read it, it makes my chin come up and my shoulders square themselves.. Descriptions like that, loving celebrations of people like me, make me proud. I’m proud to be myself, to continue despite all the times over the years when it would have been easier to conform.

Thank you for loving butches out loud.

About Me

I'm a recent transplant to somewhere south of the Mason-Dixon line. While mothering my energetic 10-year-old son, I'm also working as a contract graphic designer, freelance proofreader and copy editor, and planning an October 1, 2011 wedding to my anam cara, soul mate, and best friend (they all come rolled into one fantastically hot and ultra-intellectual package). In my rare spare time, I write as much as I possibly can and in several different places. This is the outlet for my erotic bent. Or bent erotica. I have come to love the community of sex bloggers. They are an amazing group of talented and wonderfully supportive individuals. Please come back regularly and be sure to check out my links to spread the love to some of the greatest writers and artists around. Enjoy!
