Femme Fairy Godmother

At the beginning of summer, I was shopping for a new bag. I found one I completely fell in love with, but I didn’t buy it. It was an impractical color (meaning: it wasn’t black) and it was $90. I have looked at purses for the last 2 months and still couldn’t find one that [...]

The FemmeFairyGodmother had a hysterectomy just more than a month ago.I’ve never been not out. My mama says I came out “with a vengeance.” I didn’t go so far as one of you did, however. When my darling friend KB went to college, she introduced herself, so I am told, by saying, “Hi! I’m KB [...]

I moved this weekend. I’ve lived in a few places and I have learned along the way that things are often not what they seem. Things that should be pretty standard often aren’t. Take water, for example. If you live in a city, you would think that you wouldn’t have to check the water in [...]

An entire industry has been created to deal with it. Countless women have been shamed by it. Innumerable comedians have made jokes about it. What, precisely, is “it”? The supposedly fishy smell of a woman’s vagina. Being a lesbian, and probably having significantly more experience with vaginas (both mine and others) than your average straight [...]

You would think that breaking up with someone would be something we’d all learn in high school. Do they still teach “Family Life” classes? (a total aside: I had to plan a wedding in my Family Life class in high school.) They don’t teach anything useful in high school. We should learn how to break [...]

That title ought to get me some interesting people from search engines, yes? Women have different “rules” about when they will or won’t give or receive oral sex. For some women, if they are on their period, forget it. Others use a tampon and go for it. Others wouldn’t give oral sex to a woman [...]

Or, What to Do When Your Partner is Having a Full Femme Fit. Step One: Determine if you are the cause of the Fit. (The answer is almost always “yes.” If it’s not, then all you have to do is listen to the rant and not do anything stupid to direct it away from its [...]

I can’t believe I’ve gone this far in Lesbian Life Lessons without discussing the Full Femme Fit. There are rules for the Full Femme Fit. These are general rules and you can add your own, if you like. However, you can’t just call anything a Full Femme Fit. For one thing, there are Mini Femme [...]

This Lesbian Life Lesson is courtesy of my favorite Daughter in Law, heretofore referred to as DIL, and The Girl. Dude, don’t be selfish when it comes to sex. I mean, okay, sometimes you have an amazing orgasm and you can’t perform. That happens sometimes. At least it does if you’re sleeping with the right [...]

For some reason, when we’re young, we get the message that it’s not “cool” (or whatever’s the word for it “these days”) to be excited about something other than the Of the Moment Musician or clothing store. I think these days it’s The Jonas Brothers and Hollister. Hollister looks amazingly like Abercrombie and Fitch, but [...]
