I am a femme, however I am no damsel in distress. I can be vulnerable with my special love but I do not need to be saved.

:knighthorse::eyebrow:

I am femme, and love looking pretty, but I've never gone the whole hog with makeup (foundation & lippy usually, and mebbe blusher and eyeshadow as well on special occasions sufficies for me) and never worn false eyelashes.

I can play damsel in distress (for giggles), but I don't DO damsel in distress, though I do appreciate help when offered.

I'm not terribly competent at things like DIY etc, but I'm willing to have a go if need be, and can generally come up with something usable even if it'd be for the best if I got it replaced by something done properly as soon as I can. :-}

I LOVE pedicures, having my hair done, etc - wish I could afford 'em nowadays, sigh - but am also one who will shoulder-check ill-mannered irritating young oiks that think they own the pavement and that Granny will automatically move out of their way for them. I love their surprised reaction! (thanks, roller-derby training! eheheh)

Oh, and yeah - I am femme, but I've had a go at trying to get through roller-derby minimum skills training. Didn't manage to get terribly far (age and whatnot being against me), but wow was that fun! Don't let anybody tell you that femmes don't do roller-derby, LOTS of them do!

I'm a femme, however I wear really raggedy things to sleep in.

I am Femme, however, I love building things; I wear my favorite baseball hat when I hate messing with my hair; I never paint my nails; after retiring from work I no longer wear makeup; I love owning and driving my big truck; I love going fishing; and, I used to be a certified heavy machine operator.
I am Femme

I am Femme, however, I only have 2 pairs of shoes (flat sandals I wear almost all the time, and Sketchers Memory Foam slip-on tennis shoes)...
I own and frequently use a bunch of tools. (I grew up with several very mechanically inclined people...it feels natural to me to know about and use tools of all kinds, from a tiny wrench to a destructive sawsall)
I am Femme and I love to wear soft, long flowing skirts or dresses, however, since retiring, I wear mostly Tshirts and jeans.

I am femme, however...
I prefer Homo Depot or Lowe’s to clothes shopping
If I wear makeup (big IF) it’s eyeliner and blush, which I typically rub off before I reach my destination, yet I find mani/pedis glorious!
I choose Chaco’s or tennis shoes to heels any day (even in my younger years with healthy knees, I’d still say it was 50/50)

I am femme...

and smoke cigars...cuss like a sailor...burp...make a move.

I am Femme, however....
I would rather sleep in the back of my truck (cuddled up with a bunch of soft blankets and my old furbaby) at my favorite mountain camp, under the stars than lodge at any fancy hotel.

I am Femme, however, today I went to an estate auction just to look at the antique cars and farm junk and buy some antique metal milk crates to make benches from. I loved finding and taking pictures of the old rusted cars with trees growing up through them. I had fun hiking around the property to see what this person had collected (hoarded) his entire life. I was amazed at the antique school busses filled with antique lumber. I got dirty, hot and sweaty and loved seeing some of the "history" in the old farm equipment and other junk.

I don't like the hierarchy. I ID as Femme. Regular Femme. None of us are high or low.

I mostly do not enjoy housework either. I think some people think of Femmes and 1950's (or before) and Femmes are the women and Butches are the men. I do not buy into this, but even if I did....modern men help with chores. Women work now and own businesses.

I am so glad you have a professional doing the heavy housework!

Slightly off topic, I'm really wondering....what's a space kitty?

I looked on Google and it seems like its a beer or kitty toys or cute kitties in astronaut outfits. Did seem super Femme tho. :)

Uh, if that was in relation to my posting about playing Stellaris, which is a real-time game of galactic conquest, then what you're missing is that the game allows you to customise a range of generic alien types, one of which is felinoid. I happen to adore cats, and I have a whimsical nature. So rather than talking about my mighty felinoid huntresses of the stars, I am far more likely to talk about my game empire in LOLcat-like terms, hence if the naughty aliens are mean to my space-kitties, my space-kitties will claw their furniture (attack their outpost stations)!, 'cause they is full of sharp! (they have fleets of effective ships and I well know how to use them to best effect).

:-)

I am femme, and I am naturally ditzy. But I'm also a geek with a pretty good brain.
