Lots of times when I get a Swoon List nomination, I get bits of info that I then piece together into (what I hope is) a cohesive post. This week, the Nominator did such a great job, all I did was cut and paste. With, that, I give you the latest addition to the Butch Swoon List: Rugby8.
Rugby’s friend Stacy says,
“What makes a butch swoon-worthy for me? A sense of strength, their strong sense of self, and they way they fit in those jeans helps too. It’s the idea that they will be there, with their strong arms to hold you when the going gets rough. It’s how they bring out all that is soft and
feminine in me. How they dress is awesome, but it’s only an outer example of their inner person, and it’s that inner person that makes them swoon-worthy.
Rugby8 definitely has it all. A shoulder to lean on when the world has you down, the strong sense of her place in the world. She says she’s always liked to do “guy” things and that’s what makes her butch; I disagree – I think it’s her being a butch that makes her want to do all those “guy” things. Oh, and filling out the jeans? Oh yeah – take a look at that sexiness in the rugby uniform.
She’s got the rough and ready part down pat. ”
If you’re looking for more of Rugby8, check out her tumblr page. Stop in and say hello. Rugby8 might be rough & ready … but she’s also warm and friendly, so you’ll get a friendly welcome.
