Sapphic styling

I walked into the finance office at lunchtime today. The two young women who were covering the phones quickly shuffled things and pretended to be working on something together at one of their desks.

"Phew, it's only you" said one of the girls.

"What were you up to?"

"She was showing me photo's of real life lesbians online", said girl number 2.

"Wha?"

"I've never met a real lesbian. She was showing me what they look like".

"So you can avoid them?" said I, confused.

"No. I just wanted to know what they looked like. They have bad hair".

Hmm.

Then she piped up again. "I asked her to become a lesbian when her boyfriend ditched her last month" she said, motioning towards girl number one.

"Right. I see". I didn't.

"It's not that I fancy her. But I thought she could find out what they do and that. I mean, they don't have a, well, you know, to do, erm well, you know..."

I felt I understood what she was getting at.

"I wouldn't mind the bad clothes". Said the proposed sapphic sacrifice. "And I was up for it, but my feet don't get on with cheap shoes".

So. Lesbians. It's all about bad hair, bad clothes and cheap shoes.

I think that Portia de Rossi missed that memo.

Mike, I kind of take the 'each to his own' approach to lesbians.

But I must admit to a little fear too....

Anonyme a dit…

why fear lol some of my best mates are lesbian. people are people , why should sexuality be an issue. May be more openess would be good. Lesbians have so much prejudice and stupidy from certain male groups.
My friends do not wear cheap shoes and gross clothes, they arevery stylish. Live at let live

VM, exactly. The whole conversation was ludicrous....

CawfeeGuy a dit…

RofLmAO that is AMAZINGLY accurate!

aims a dit…

I guess my friends missed that memo too!

Next thing you know - they'll be studying different religious people...just so they can see what they look like...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr......

If the whole thing wasn't so stupid I'd laugh!

Louise a dit…

EXACTLY! I was thinking about Portia DiRossi when I read that. I'm very much not lesbian, but Portia is one of my "girl crushes!"

A Lewis a dit…

Louise - Portia's quite the gal, no doubt there.

Rob, I'll slap them for you - no problem-o!

Lewis, you'll be suggesting dungarees and work boots next. and why not....

Lola a dit…

You know, I may be wrong, but quite often you can't tell who's a lesbian by looking at a picture. After all, they don't always have the LESBO tattoo on the forehead. Duh.

red a dit…

You really should bring them in a picture of Portia. That would shut them up.

Megan McGurk a dit…

Oh my.
What year is this?
