Tinted Lip Balm: The ease of being a Chapstick lesbian with all the glory of being a Lipstick lesbian.
I remember everything: what normal felt like all through college in my relationship with her — an attractive and charismatic woman who was also a compulsive liar and an abusive lover. Of course it didn’t start out that way. Insane realities rarely do.
Some BDSM activities are absolutely about violence and humiliation. But a lot of what might seem like violence are actually about sensation — sometimes intense sensation!—and a lot of what seems like humiliation is actually about vulnerability.

One of the identities I hold tightly to is Lazy Femme. And as a Lazy Femme, lipstick is often one of my best friends. I don’t always have the time or talent, desire or strength to do a full face of makeup or a fancy updo or spend all day in six inch heels. Sometimes I just don’t have the energy to go all out, but I still want to feel like the femme that I am. I can be wearing a t-shirt and shorts, and as long as I have lipstick on, I feel like I’m validating my femmeness. My lipstick is like my coat of arms. Even when I’m dressed down, it’s still there, reminding people that I still identify as a femme.
Additionally, because of the fact that I’m also fat, most femme clothes don’t come in my size. So being able to have red lips that really stand out is a great way for me to feel beautiful and strong in the face of beauty standards that are trying to leave me out. Lipstick really is the perfect easy accessory for any Lazy Femme outfit.

You and your kinky partner are in an excellent position to start playing with things and see what you find that you like. That she is communicating her desires to you is an excellent sign, and that you are game — that you “would do anything for this girl” — tells me you’re willing to experiment. That’s fantastic! That automatically gives you a leg up toward having fulfilling play together.
