Butch Sightings: A Social Interaction

Butch Sightings is a social interaction art project that was inspired by interest and appreciation for butches & studs (females and/or women who appear masculine, queer, old school, dyke, bulldagger, aggressive [AG] and other terms to be added as I come across them).

About Me

My photo
EightSixSevenFiveThreeOhNine
I am a fat queer non-observant Jewish white femme from the West Coast of the U.S. closer to 50 than 40. I grew up mixed class with college-educated parents and grandparents in what some might say was a colorful and others might call bizarre, world.

I'm married to a butch and we have two children. We are a very queer, very regular, very leftist household.

I'm an artist, writer, corporate worker and fashion-loving, lipstick-wearing "bull in a china shop." I believe in learning for the sake of learning and education for everyone, regardless of test scores and pedigrees. I did not finish high school. I have a Master's degree in art.

I would rather say who I am than not and I would rather ask about who other people are then assume I know (although I do have hunches).
