The Indigo Girls

WATCHING the wonderful Indigo Girls at the Cambridge Folk Festival, it came to me in a flash; stylistically, I am a lesbian. The evidence - hefty thighs encased in denim, flat boots, flyaway hair with no discernible style and a flannel shirt that could have come from a charity shop.

I am a friend of Dorothy from top to toe.

OK, so I have no desire to fondle a woman but when it comes to fashion I am definitely no man's arm candy and I'm not a cougar on the prowl chasing down her young prey in a short skirt, low top and thigh boots. If I approached my "prey" wearing that, he would leave Usain Bolt eating his dust.

The thought of wearing stilettos make my feet break out in a rash. I haven't got a figure for clothes to hug and I'm too frumpy for fashion. When it comes to clothes I'm more DJ Pat Pat than Portia de Rossi.

I know I am doing many gay women a disservice and am guilty of woeful generalisation. I fully accept there are lesbians who are the height of chic. Take a look here http://www.ranker.com/list/hottest-celebrity-lesbians/greg for some extraordinarily beautiful gay celebs.

 But I admire any woman who really doesn't give a damn when it comes to pleasing anyone but herself. I can get on board with that, straight or gay.

    I lean towards the DJ pat Pat style too. It's easy, comfortable and I don't care what others think.

    I thought Velcro was their thing, Mrs Table. But we also should be mindful of the butch-femme dichotomy.

    Hee hee! That made me laugh. Having gone gracefully grey over the past year, I'm finding that a lesbian haircut my the best bet when trying to avoid looking like my grandma/most of the older ladies round here. Other than that I'm a cross between DJ Pat Pat and your average sloppy dog walker.
