SWOON! [Smack. BW hits the floor.]

Picture

All right, I knew Rachel Maddow has been going on location.  But this picture?!  Seriously.  If there was a poster-sized version of this,* it would be up in my office.** 

And Rachel, if you're reading this and decide you're into other butches (or, hell, you want to experiment for a couple of hours), give me a call.  I'm sure my girlfriend will understand.  (Besides, you're on the list!)***



* If you know where I can get one, please email me immediately. 
** And by "in my office," I mean "on my bedroom ceiling."
*** Doesn't every couple have one of these?  A list of celebrities that you'd be allowed to sleep with and it wouldn't be considered cheating?

Yummy. She made my list a long time ago. My list has been around so long it has a Hall of Fame.

Where did you get this picture? ... For someone to look that good in a bullet proof vest should be a crime...

I agree, that's a great picture. But as a former Marine I still prefer a real badass than someone who looks good dressing up like a badass. lol

And yes, I think everyone has the list because it's completely harmless. I would bet the number of people who had the opportunity to seriously address the list are so small that it's never taken seriously.

Wow! A purported blog about "butches" and the first thing I see is something on Maddow who is very NOT Butch. How typically queer and Butch pathetic.

Now, now, Dirt. Just because she doesn't meet YOUR standards for butchness doesn't mean that no reasonable person could ever consider RM a butch. Besides, I think the getup in that picture would practically make Drew Barrymore look butch!

Your point is well-taken, though. The problem I have with so many people considering RM "butch" is that the mainstream/straight media portrays her as some kind of outlier--when in the lesbian community, I'd argue, she's veeeery middle-of-the-road/androgynous/soft-butchy. So if THAT's the public's idea of what "butchness" supposedly is, that makes the rest of us--people who might be considered more masculine within the lesbian community--seem like weird extremists in the public eye. In this way, Rachel Maddow's popularity may be good for lesbian visibility overall, but may do a real disservice to butches.

I was, however, confused by: "how typically queer and Butch pathetic." I am not sure whether you are referring to this post, to RM herself, or what. Hmm.

Of course Rachel Maddow is on the list! If you ever do find a poster of that, let us know. :)

Personally I think that the lesbian community is far too focused on one image of "butch", actually based on ideals that the straight (or more specifically homophobic and straight) community has placed upon 'us'. I prefer a 'soft butch' in any case, and Rachel Maddow is pretty damn hot.

p.s. I could never have a list, my g/f's jealous of EVERYONE; gay, straight, female or male, attainable or unattainable (unnecessarily I might add) but I find it enlightening that people do have lists.

My gf and I call our list the 'basement list' lol: its our list of people we would love to kidnap and chain up in the basement [were it not morally and legally wrong of course] and have our way with. Most would be a one-time thing, and we are each allowed to have one person that we'd keep indefinitely. Hers is Miley Cyrus (and she'd kill me if she knew I'd told anyone that lol, Miley only recently becoming non-jailbait and all). Mine is Rachel McAdams. Yum!

I remember this exactly, she looked so handsome with her hair blowing in the wind and w/o makeup and girlyness. =] Probably easily the hottest she's looked!
