This is a great question.

I am casual usually, some of that is just practical, due to health issues. Always was a jeans and knit top kind of a gal anyway.

Prefer flat sandals to heels. Like tennies if doing a lot of walking. Heels very limited, again health is part of that. But only part.

I am a casual femme, a practical femme.

But in relationships, I am aware of feeling "girly" whatever that is.

I love my lipstick, eye makeup, I love perfume, I love my toenail polish.

Hands, short nails, clear polish, practical.

I admire a strong butch who can fix things. Sometimes I can fix something and it gives me satisfaction. But that's not so much my thing.

I like to pamper a sweetheart. Fuss over them a little, and make them feel comfortable.

I am not rigid on roles, but I knew early on that maybe I wasn't a typical androgynous gay woman. That was so popular when I came out. But I got tired of plaid, and in private I kept putting on makeup and sparkly toenail polish.

I was attracted to women who were decidedly more tomboyish than I was.

I do like the occasional dress and lingerie and when I date someone who appreciates my makeup and girly ways, it makes me so happy.

I was pleased when I ran across some sites for butch/femme people in the 2000s. I thought I was some kind of bizarre anomaly for a long time.

So, not a high femme, not a tomboy femme...I made up my own name for it.

Humorously: Suburban Housewife Femme. Yup.
