After reading this from Frisky, I thought I’d put an Irish spin on things.

Lesbians we love and well…..those other ones

Frisky: The Sophisticate Usually an artist or academic, this well-read member of the intelligencia is socially conscious without smelling like patchouli. An important public person, she’s a wise, loving role model.
Irish: Closet case who is convinced she’s trying to “change things from within”. Wears sharply-cut suits, has perfectly sculpted (yet short) fingernails. Lives in Syth Cynty Dablin.

Frisky: The Tomboy She’s strong enough for a man, but made for a women. This gal wouldn’t be caught dead in a skirt! Naturally chivalrous, her attitude and outfit often make people question her gender.
Irish: She seems to be a pretty universal character. Can seem scary on the outside but is as soft and gentle as her deodorant.

Frisky: The LUG (Lesbian Until Graduation) Maybe she’s stuck in an all-girls’ dorm, maybe she’s just experimenting because she’s at a small private college, but no matter what the impulse is, she’s just learning. Example: The kiddie you see just kissing another girl in a bar for 30 minutes straight without trying to slide into 2nd base.
Irish: The GAA girl. Communal showers, team spirit and hard work are what gets this girl’s sliotar sliding. She kisses grils, has a girlfriend and has even had to leave a team coz she broke up with the manager, but she’s not gay, she’s GAA.

Frisky: The Lipstick Lesbian This girlie-girl is so girlie she likes girls. She isn’t afraid of attention and follows trends to a tee. Being a lesbian doesn’t make her look or feel like an outsider. She’s comfortable being her feminine self and that is why she is the dream girl male lesbian fantasies are made of.
Irish: The actress/performer/wearer of pink. OK, she may fill a sterotype loved by men but hey! that’s not her fault. She’s gorgeous, loving and makes us look good. If there were poster-lesbians, we’d be pushing her to the front of the queue.

Frisky: The Mama Smart and nurturing, she is ruled by her maternal instinct. Like a mother hen, she often spends her career caring for and teaching children. Example: That retired nun who taught you math or Rosie O’Donnell
Irish: The foster mother. Not only do her and her partner foster 5 kids but their house is a menagerie of saved dogs and cats. Just as well they live in Laois/Westmeath/Offaly/Carlow and have a huge garden (in which they grow the most delicious tomatoes and green beans).

Frisky: The Hippie Homo Loves everyone and everything…except razors.  Most of her music collection is jam bands and her favorite concert of all time was Ani DiFranco live, although the defunct Lillith Fair is a close second. She’s political, she’s spiritual, she’s au natural. Example: Bitch of “Bitch & The Exciting Conclusion”
Irish: The babydyke. She’s just moved aware to college and discovered WERRC. Suddenly everything is like totally an extension of like feminism and y’know music is the language of the people.

Frisky: The Attention Whore Why does she do the women she does? For attention. This crazy bitch likes women because she likes anyone she can perform for. Popular in the celeb realm, the audience can get a bit out of hand once the paps start flashing. Example: Paris Hilton and Aubrey O’Day
Irish: She seems to be a universal scourge on the gay scene this one. Oh wow look at you, in the George/Dragon kissing a female. Imagine. That really makes you look interesting and different.

Frisky: The Topper Powerful, professional, and aggressive tops like to dominate all areas of their lives. They’re stylish and clever, always sealing a deal. Example: Bette Porter from The L Word.
Irish: The political lesbian. In her 40s/50s and doesn’t understand how young women can take their rights for granted. Most likely to say things like “Don’t you know how I fought/worked?”, “You mean you haven’t read my book?”. Won’t talk to anyone who doesn’t have a PhD.

Frisky: The DL Lesbian Although she’s gay all the way, she disguises her sexual orientation by claiming it’s merely an interest in rap culture.  But let’s face it, baggy pants are still pretty revealing. Too bad those clothes are the only things coming out of the closet. Example: Missy Elliot, Jodie Foster, and Queen Latifah (we think)

Irish: Young woman who is so hip it can scare us older ladies. Wearer of jeans which seem to defy gravity, says things like “Aiiight” and “s’all good”. Usually from Tallaght or d’northsoide.

Should Frisky want me to remove this, no problem. Just let me know. No infringement is intended.
