I would SO buy that book for my children.

Such a good idea for a book!!

Hmm. Sounds like a fun change! For me, I think when I am more "feminine" I'm not really trying to conform, but I guess some may feel that way. I rarely have a really butch haircut, but in some ways I'm a bit butch. I never wax my femmestache, and I have a lot of hairs on my neck that I sometimes pluck and sometimes don't. I'm pretty self-conscious about that, but it's time consuming. I go long periods without shaving or wearing a bra. I don't wear makeup, though I occasionally like wearing eyeliner and lipstick. But it was kind of funny, when my friend Kat came down she kept saying I looked like such a dyke. And I'm like "I do?" *looks down* I tend to dress in business suit-type wear, you know, nice trousers, button-down, blazer. Sometimes I do wear a tie but not all the time. My clothes are clearly fitted for a woman, so it's less crossdressing and more just... well I don't know what. I guess I'm an Executive Dyke. Ha. Who knows. But my point is, yeah. Butch and femme and dyke and straightgirl and whatever else come ( ... )

While I agree with your buddy peachy_penumbra about doing what makes you feel best, I must say that I'm opportunistically pleased that the look that's making you feel best now is one that tickles my fancy. Send pictures, STP.

I missed you girling yourself up for reasons other than a costume party??? You plucked your eyebrows????? And waxed??????? Nicole, WHY????

That is a great idea for a book.

And I miss you. Why aren't you going back to Vermont for the summer?

I know. Crazy, huh? I only plucked them once, just to see what it would look like.
You wanna illustrate it?
And I am going back to VT this summer, for a week or so, just don't know when. Probably August, but it depends on where I'll be working. And if possible, I'll try to make my way back to Boulder for a few days.
