Welcome to the Turning Tavern

[Gay40]

This is a thread for women who unexpectedly (or not) find themselves attracted to another woman.

likea I wouldn't assume any thing about a girl just by her wearing trousers, I'd have to take a whole number of things into consideration. Wearing jeans/trousers alone would not be a flag to me.

Likea oh, I see, I misunderstood. I think I'm with juney I wouldn't think only wearing trousers meant anything necessarily. Not quite sure how you could be a bit more overt.

Good luck polly !

FFS you lot are making me look like Leslie Phillips in the charm stakes (not really)

I've grown to hate shopping too likea over the years. My DD is exasperated with me! She is really into dressing up and looking "smart"! The other day she asked if i would wear high heels for an hour if she paid me!

On the butch femme thing, I find it really interesting. I have always been very attracted to very androgynous looking women, butch I guess. I have never really analysed it, it's just how I feel if you know what I mean.

I wouldn't say no to Katherine Moennig... although I think that's the point of Shane's character in The L Word

Watched the first episode of The L Word series 1 last night with GF and fell a bit in love with Shane. GF wasn't very well though, so it was quite muted and I felt guilty for being there as she was obviously so out of it and just needed to sleep a lot. She's been getting over the flu for a week now :(
Blimmin' long distance relationships! They're pants.

I tend to like butch/androgynous women, in fact one of the reason I was so convinced I was straight for many years was because I was going around trying to fancy femme women and assuming that as I didn't, that meant I wasn't into girls at all. Turns out I was just concentrating on the wrong sort . Anyway, I used to have a massive crush on Alex Parks off Fame Academy (yeah, remember that?) and currently have a bit of a thing for the woman who plays Frankie in Lip Service - which incidentally is returning for a 2nd series next week, hurrah! Lots of lesbians in Glasgow and some faintly ridiculous sex scenes par for the course...

Ladies! I give you:

Alex Parks

Ruta Gedmintas.

Hep - they are hardly butch! very delicate, both, pretty too, soft faces.
Young girls can often look good in boyish style, but i think it rarely work well for mature women (always exceptions of course).
Cherries, yes I used to like shopping when in my 20s and i think I overdone, and now see it as a waste of time and replacement activity (it's like a bubble) - plus I prefer to make money rahtre than throw it away now. But also I feel myself in my jeans and certain tops/jackets (polly, I do walk tall) as i can then run around andfeel free, I look best then rather than in a constricting outfit with a sour face haha. Summer is a bit different as you can throw on an easy skirt and not be cold at that . Well it's your taste, androgyny, maybe most bi or gay women do like it that's why gay girls go for this style. Gay40 is different, and it's good to have variety.

overdone it

Cherries, I meant, in the end of post.

I do not own a skirt

so you see Gay, a lot of gay/bi women don'y wear skirts, as been mentioned - I still think now that my wiq could put that and my interest in her together..

am curious, what do you wear in the summer/on holiday when it's really hot, G? i give up on trousers then..

I think you need to put it directly to her. It won't come across via skirts or trousers.

Me neither Gay - I ebayed the one I wore to the wedding three years back, almost as soon as I took it off.

I wear baggy cargo-type trousers, 3/4 length

Likea a pair of wide, linen troos does me when it's hot.

In the summer I tend to roll up my jeans and go for that ever so gorgeous look

So you do get your ankles out Gay! I do not. Not ever.

And a beanie hat, even when it's 35 degrees

Yeah the feet come out. I'm not ashamed lol

Nothing from sleepless tonight - I wonder if she had an early night in readiness for tomorrow?

Talking of which - time for bed! Night all x

polly, you never get your ankles out?! what about at home with a theoretical partner? would you were a bathrobe? and yo do go to the beach sometimes?
G40, yes, I'm already 'putting it to her in my subtle ways as you know, just thought this might make wonder some more.
I still think trousers or especially jeans are too warm to wear in the heat, linen wide ones I should try, though.

make her wonder
