Ok, so we're sitting @ our usual haunt of Sloppie's on a Sunday arvo, fueled by waaay too much cheap champers (hey, it's free ! We're not arguing !) and the conversation turns to : What does a dyke* look like?? 
It then degenerates to a stupid game of perving on all passersby and giggling lots, but that's irrelevant.  I mean, how on earth are we, as intelligent, sexy, single dykes meant to find each other, if we don't know what we look like?? We've all done our fair share of dating and converting str8 chicks, and we're over that.  Sitting in a taxi and having your girlfriend pretend you're her sister is not my idea of pride.  So hence, here is our list of what constitutes a dyke.  Or rather, how to be a visible dyke. Or rather, what to look out for next Friday nite :P

Hair :    Shaven off
            Crew cut
            DA (you know, with the flick )
            KD Lang style shag, or anything else boyish
            Pixie-style (ie Winona Ryder.... if only *sigh*)
            Spiky : lots of product :)

Dress:   Men's jeans
            Cargo pants
            Bonds Tshirts 
            Shirts with numbers on them (Jodie suggested this but I don't u/stand)
            Jock-y style ie Ralph Lauren, Adidas
            Docs... teeheee.... 

Build:    14 year old boy -type skinny
             Built like a brick shit-house 
            And somewhere in between, muscled but still soft.

Accessories:  Piercings : eyebrow, tongue, nose
                     Tats on biceps or lower backs
                     Really short fingernails :p
                     Moustache (sorry, I shouldn't be poking fun @ the green-eyed monster...actually I find mo's quite                      sexy on some women *grin*....)
                     Chrome briefcase/trunk thingies (the Atelier dyke has one, it's quite cool)

What's she doing ?     Playing pool
                                  Drinking beer
                                  Smoking (prolly all at once here)
                                  Playing footie

I'd like to just break for a moment and discuss 'dyke dancing'... I'm sure you know what I mean, it's a cross btn homie and the whole 'guys don't dance' dance and it's usually with a ciggie or beer in one hand, shoulders hunched, trying to look cool and nonchalant at the same time... teeheee... and then you get grrls like me who just bounce everywhere and spend half there time grinding pelvises with mates.... yeah I'm a showoff lol...

What does she drive ?  Motorcycle, the more grunt the better
                                    4WD else jeep...

Cd's she owns :   Anything by :    Melissa Etheridge
                                                   kd lang
                                                   Tracey Chapman
                                                   Indigo Girls
                                                   Ani di Franco
                                                   the Bluehouse
                                                   Veruca Salt
                                                   Tori Amos 
                                                   Odd Girl Out
                                                   Monique Brumby

Anything else??            Uses the words 'dodgy' and 'mate' often
                                    Likes bush walking ( I don't understand this... can anyone explain??)

Any suggestions??? Any glaringly obvious signs that I've missed?? Tell me :P

*Note : dyke here is referring to a butch-er lesbian.... we usually get confused trying to decided if feminine women are lesbians or not, becos most of the time, they look str8.  It's a hell of a lot easier with butch women, especially ones who used to belong to Spice Girls lol.
