oh and Geezers...
I'd like to meet:
Dashing dandyboys, strutting roosters, hunter gatherers, manful, sartorial, independent, caring and adventurous.
Mannish lesbians, women who "look like men", Inverts, Bulldaggers, cross dressers, passers, butches, diesel dykes, trans guys, bionic men - yum!
Understand, the kinda lezzer I am is one with a twist. See, I like boys who used to be goats or girls if you fancy. There isn't really a word for me cos if said boy hasn't gone through the goat phase, I'm not interested. Oh and boy doesn't really work either cos I like silverbacks. Men who used to be goats! That's the one!
Once upon a time I was photographing me handsome neighbour Aston Martin when we across this fine beastie. Nice horns, lovely beard.
Lucky for the goat s/he was behind a fence or I'd have been whispering sweet nothings in his fluffy goatie ears.
Politically aware with a strong sense of justice and a nasty streak. It's the glint in the eye, the swagger, the attitude and the cufflinks that count.
"This is the last night of the fair,
And the grease in the hair,
Of a speedway operator,
Is all a tremulous heart requires"
The "all about me" features me arty farty as well as my sleazy side cos ultimately I'm seeking a creative, thinking geezer who would appreciate both. I'm looking for someone who inspires and challenges me. I'm a curious pussycat and I love questioning.
Well, there are a few other things in life apart from geezers so am also up for networking with other creative spirits.
