Top Femme Moments of the Year

My Top Femme Moments of 2008
Obviously I’m a little late in getting this posted, but I figure that we’re within a week of New Years so I’m fashionably late right?  2008 was a really great year for me, it brought exciting advancements on both of my books (one of which comes out *this  year *) really settling into living in NYC, new friends, career advancements both in the nonprofit world, and artistically etc.  I decided that a great way to commemorate 2008 would be to do Top 10 femme moments of the year broken into a few categories:

1.    Top femme shoes of the year:  Without a doubt the winner here has to be my hot pink vinyl flats with rainbow trim and stars on the bottom, they were a killer clearance find and I actually don’t wear them outside for fear of them not lasting forever.

2 . Top femme bonding experience:  This one would absolutely have to go to The Femme Show but for an individual experience I think that it’s tied between our show at Queer Spirit Camp where Havalah and I dished about how hot we found a particular middle-aged butch and then the trip up to Boston for our show there.

3. Top Lipstick of the year: without a doubt goes to my favorite dark red MAC topped with lip glass

4. Top femme desert: my partner’s absolutely killer red velvet cupcakes! Cupcakes are to me the ultimate femme desert, ze calls me hir cupcake as a term of endearment and well I’m pretty mad about anything cupcake

5. Top femme writing moment: having two of my stories accepted into ‘Visible: a Femmethology’ two volume anthology of femme experience that will be released from Homofactus Press this march (p.s. if you want a discount code worth 28% off on February pre-orders sign up for the newsletter at: http://homofactuspress.com/index.php/bookseller_page/our_newsletter/)

6. Favorite outfit of the year: this is a hard one but I think it might go to a killer green plaid dress that is everything I love about queering and perverting 1950’s housewife fashion! One of the best parts with this of course was that one of my really good femme friends and I used to work together- and the DAY AFTER we both bought this dress (unknown to each other) we wore it to the office, everyone spent the day in stitches about our unintentional twin day

7. Top femme craft received:  this goes to Ms. Hinterland and the beautiful pillow that she made for me in our femme swap

8. Top femme blog: The Femme’s Guide! I was really excited when I was invited to join because I’d been admiring how fantastic this site was ☺

9. Top femme color of the year- this is sort of a winner every year, but PINK!

10. BFF (Best Femme Friend): I’ve made so many incredible femme friends this year that there is no way I could pick just one to mention here.  In many ways this was the year of me feeling like I had a femme community that I belonged to, and I’m so grateful to all of my femme friends : )
