What’s Your Tag Line? Butch? Femme? Gay?
I am constantly trying to figure out a way to fight femme invisibility. I get emails every week from poor little femmes that can’t convince the world that they’re died in the wool, card carrying lesbians!
Which is why I’m always coming up with new designs for my jewelry line. I just finished a new patch of simple yet powerful designs.
I’m calling them “Tag Line” necklaces and you can mix and match tags to fit your personality and your identity.
Oh don’t worry my sexy butch friends, I haven’t forgotten about you!!! Take a look!
As one of the “poor little femmes” that nobody ever believes is gay, I have to say..these are AWESOME! The femme/lesbian would be my chosen combination.
What’s your tagline?
Human.
Bobbi, that’s a great combo!
Virgo, good one ๐ but hopefully that’s readily apparent. ๐ these are for
A) Girls that feel invisible within our community and don’t want to remain so.
B) for fun conversation starters with that cute girl at the coffee shop.
C) for hot butches that find it hard to find something that is made JUST for them.
Anyone have any other tag line ideas? Love to hear from anyone ๐
Hey Virgo – to find your answer/tagline, how about you go to a website called…human!
*le sigh*
I like the idea of mix & match tags – it’s very innovative.
A ‘libertine’ tag might be nice ๐
I like “libertine,” with another tag saying “lusty.”
I love my ‘femme’ necklace, and have gotten so many complements (and recognition!!!) from it ๐
…some people still say things like, “oh, your necklace…’femme’…’woman’… that’s neat”, but those in the community always get it -and those are who I especially wanted to connect to anyway.
Maybe at some point, I’ll go ahead and get one that says, “LESBIAN” in big, bold letters -no one would mistake that! ๐
Anyone ever had the problem of your girlfriend walking out on you a month before you are suppose to propose. Unexpectedly.
Driving me to insanity.
If anyone can help.

PS: I want the “Femme” & “Proud” tag!!!
Postage to SA?
Natalie,
I didn’t have that exact same thing happen but I did have a girlfriend move all her stuff into my house and told me she was just going back to her apartment to drop off her keys and then NEVER came back. LOL
Femme and Proud would be a great combo! I just checked and shipping to South Africa (I’m assuming that’s the SA you meant? is $6 USD ๐
@ Lolita I’m so happy you like it!!!! ๐
What did you end up doing with all her stuff sasha???
@WWG I think I may need an entire blog post to address that question. Complete with fucked up back story on how the first girl I ever loved totally TOTALLY screwed me over. You know, as a cautionary tale for other gay girls. :/
@Ricki, wow, ‘twould be nice tags indeed! These words really go together, it just rolls of the tongue.
I know, they work well together. But YOU inspired me, S. Maschera:).
Always happy to be of service, Ricky. ๐
And by the way, these slightly retro alliterations made me think of a “roving rake” and similar taglines. I do not normally like mixing artistic conventions, but there is something potentially cool about a fusion of something utterly modern like these necklaces with phrases that sound like taken straight out of a Renaissance fair. Or it’s just me and my inner nerd.
Don’t get me started, SM! I love “Roving Rake.” My “inner nerd” is already playing with some more titillating tags;).
wow sasha those are great!
LOVE the femme tags…..I could definitely use those LOL
@Sasha
Thats bleak im sorry! Kind of weird though – moved her stuff into your apartment then left? Strange!
Yeah I had this amazing woman a ring made especially for her, exactly how she wanted it… Paid for a weekend away for us so I could propose… and then… gone.
We even chatted about having children together. I was mad about her.
Still hurting, even more each day actually, which aggrivates me… Why cant it get easier. Yet it gets harder.
All I wish I could do was make myself stop loving her and stop thinking about her and needing her.
PS: Ill be putting in my order for my tags end of the month!!!
“Femme” and “Proud”… come to Natalie.
It appears to be a common pattern in the lesbian world for first loves to completely fuck you over and mess with your head. Is it a rite of passage we all must go through or is it just confined to lesbians? Never having been with men I have no experience to draw on there.
These tags are cute, I’m not a huge necklace wearer though – do you do rings as well?
I find the best way to let people know you’re gay is to tell them. Radical idea I know but it always seems to work for me. If people don’t like it, they’re people you don’t need in your life.
I’m card carrying and invisible.
Brilliant, creative idea.
I would like Power Femme (not to be confused with Femme Power) and maybe even Power Bottom.
Femmegrrl – It seems you are angry at this point in your life? A person/lesbian has done wrong by you? Wow,this might be something you need to know; that is to say, not all lesbians are righteous…just like all straight PEOPLE are not righteous, either. The realization here is that we are all people! Beware of all folks.
Grow up, girl! There are all kinds of people in the world. But, rest…there is a girl out there for you. You’ll find her. ๐
Dear Sasha,
I just received my order from you today (all the way over in Australia). Thank you times a million! The pieces are beautiful, and I love them all! The only problem I have is deciding which ones to wear first! ^_^
I am so getting the “Butch Daddi” necklace for my Dom this Xmas. RAWR. I LOVE this line, it would certainly have come in handy when I was a completely invisible single femme all those years.
Hmm, as far as additional tags, how about “Fierce Femme,” “Lesbian Housewife” or
even a BDSM themed line?
Femmelover – I am not at all angry at this point in my life and did not mean to convey that lesbians are perfect. I know we are only human and have our own faults. Just chucking a sociological musing out there . . . having experienced it quite young myself I’ve had plenty of time to think about it ๐ I have grown up which is how I’ve recognised this pattern, having been in that all-consuming toxic relationship with my first “great” love. The more lesbians I talk to, the more similar stories I hear. It doesn’t seem to belong to a particular age group, it appears to happen in most serious first girl on girl relationships – hence my question; Is this a lesbian phenomenon or do my friends and I just know how to pick them?
I love love love these!! And now I know where to shop on pay day. ๐
Another “poor femme” here lol
