“Funny that
14th 12 months anniversary of GirlNATION
is during late Sep,” I crooned to my buddy Tia* the other day over a glass of oxblood-colored red wine.

(GirlNATION, unless you understand, girls, is a lesbian party that has been shown successful for 14 many years. The causes behind this Sapphic event are demonstrably doing something proper, for they’ve endured the brutal examination of

time.

Purr.)

“Why? Exactly why is that amusing?” Tia questioned, demonstrably annoyed by my personal routine observance.

“Because lesbians simply



thrive



within the fall. It seems sensible that an enormous lesbian celebration might have a legendary, amazing wedding in this period. Our company is so goddamn stylish as a collective group of people, this time of the year.” We gulped back once again the rest of my wine and begun to sweetly daydream of a new fall wardrobe.



I heard BIG BOWS are really in —

“Well, so why do you would imagine that fall could be the season for the elegant lesbian? After all, actually it summer time? There is a lot of great lesbian
summer time parties,
” Tia loudly questioned, disturbing my fashion-infused dream, increasing among the woman dense, distinguished eyebrows right at me, with

intention.

“The summer provides extensive functions, but we do not seem as gorgeous in the summertime. Plus, summer time brings forth the riff-raff, you understand?” We yawned.

I simply planned to online store for the rest of the afternoon! I found myself exhausted from the incessant arguing with opinionated lesbians with 10,000 a lot more degrees than myself.

“Riff-raff? What does which means that? Non-New Yorkers? You’re such a snot,” Tia spat.

“Sue me,” I mentioned, rolling my personal sight, nearly obvious precisely what the hell I created my self. (often I just, like, say crap.)

A few hours later on, after I’d blown a whole paycheck on an oversized chunky knit sweater and a large BOW headband, I imagined about



precisely why



autumn could be the season in the sophisticated lesbian. This is what we created:

1. It’s leather weather.

No-one seems sexier in a
leather-jacket
than a
lesbian
. Its inside our hereditary makeup to appear extremely hot when draped in fabric, but specially when that leather is actually performed by means of a jacket. (i am getting hot and bothered just thinking about it!)

Offer a lesbian a leather jacket, and she will be able to perform



anything



. She will manage for office. She will be able to fearlessly flirt with
any lady in the club.
She can steal the marketing from dickwad of working. She can make the most heterosexual of females question the woman sex because the woman leather-jacket expertise is actually widely lusted after and transcends the constraints of sexual positioning.

Leather is our very own most readily useful look, our lifeline, and all of our trustworthy swag-enhancer. Inside the cold weather, its as well cool for that thin small leather-jacket; winter calls for a puffer (gag!) that’s maybe not cute on any sex expression or sexual identity. Everyone else looks type of stupid in a puffer, though they truly are definitely an important evil in January.

Summer time, however, in nyc, is actually hotter as compared to 3rd rung of hell. Therefore it requires rocking one of those tank surfaces that’s loose and cut-out reasonable beneath the armpits, a peek that really works on some lesbians, but not all of us. (it appears to be fucking terrible on me.)

Nevertheless. The audience is combined as a culture of individuals for the complete undeniable fact that fabric is pleasing to the eye on all lesbians. It does not matter in which we fall on butch/femme spectrum—we’re brutal, intimate, powerful creatures in LEATHER.

And fabric operates perfectly in gorgeously crisp fall, dahlings.

2. It’s Cuffing Period.

For those of you that simply don’t know very well what
“cuffing season”
is, permit me to kindly clarify. “Cuffing season” happens immediately after Labor Day, once the summer subsides which oh-so-familiar chill penetrates the town atmosphere. ”

Oh shit, it is going to get cold soon!

” everyone anxiety aloud to the pals. We pretend we are scared of the growing cold winter weather, but in truth, we are deathly scared of enduring just one more holidays



solitary



. We are quickly overcome with an impenetrable longing to cozy with a sweet bae and rewatch

Gia

and

Bound

, with this PJ-clad bodies connected on couch while the snowfall falls


poetically


throughout the New york pavement.

Therefore we carry on the seek out an individual to ~cuff~ with. Maybe oahu is the fun, summer time butt contact we covertly need check out, someone to have significantly more than drunken intercourse with? Possibly it really is a lovely lady you will meet this weekend at the lesbian bar/
lesbian celebration
? Maybe it is him/her that you are still pining after and should do not have separated with anyway?

I’m not sure just who it’s going to be—all I know is even breeders fall sufferer on adorable appeal of cuffing period. Just they’re not as good at perfecting the skill of the cuff once we are. See, lesbians (even a lot of freewheelin’ folks) are actually good at diving into serious
interactions, quickly
. We all have a hurry off cuffing season as they are unconsciously competing together to see who is able to go from awesome solitary to all relocated in and adopting kitties with each other the fastest. We love to cuff, and we also’re fucking brilliant at it!

The inventory of U-Hauls must truly spike inside the autumn. Possibly you have to invest?

3. Because bamboo is for dykes, daddies, femmes and queer babes.

While bamboo will look a little shlubby within the off-season, it seems classy, lovable and significantly appropriate come the autumn. Flannel is really so fashionable in Oct that also direct sluts rock it now of year, however they never pull it off like united states lezzies would. Similar to leather (bamboo’s cool big sibling), lezzies had been created by Jesus herself to sparkle whenever decorated in plaid. I fought the urge to-fall in to the flannel-wearing lesbian stereotype for



years



… until… I bought this fantastic plaid DRESS and matched it will slutty fishnets and instantly thought both perverted femme and extremely lez at once! It genuinely aided to affirm my personal



identification.

4. The ferries have appeared! Everybody is ultimately in the city!

The wealthy, winning lesbians visit ferries and jitneys and neglect New york for
Fire Island
or
The Hamptons
during summer. The young, fresh-faced infant dykes also choose those spots and acquire jobs as bartenders and waitresses and make a shit-ton of recommendations off of the rich, and successful lesbian, which enjoy looking at their particular fresh-faced gorgeousness. The college-aged lezzies go back to their unique unhappy hometowns and experience until NYU starts back-up once again.

However when the foliage metamorphose from environmentally friendly to gold, all of those sluts come twirling back in our very own big and delightful town, and that is exceptional! The scene is alive once again! The taverns tend to be buzzing with babes wanting to catch up after an extended summer time split up! The roadways regarding the western Village are loaded with vegetation and leather-clad lesbians, therefore we all huddle exterior and smoke and chat as they are merely so pleased because as a residential district we are so much much better in



abundance



, don’t you consider?

5. Red Wine & Country Vibes produce exceptional SEX.

Whenever I was a single lez we existed for online dating for the fall. Precisely Why?

Because all of the fashionable lesbian daddies would suggest fabulous times carrying out precious shit, like apple-picking inside the


Hudson Valley,


which could constantly entail a velvety cup of burgandy or merlot wine and like, a

new pastry.

We never loved those summer beer times. We always grin and imagine but inside I found myself unhappy when I sweated and slugged straight back a vile tasting alcohol on some cement rooftop throughout the ides of July. Nor would I care for whiskey-swilling winter season times. I blackout while I drink liquor, and it’s likely that it really is freezing AF consequently i need to put on a puffer, additionally the minute We put a puffer on, my pussy cures right up.

I do want to sit-in a chic AF lodge from inside the FALL and gaze into a plush industry of brilliant lime pumpkins as I wash right back a moist piece of meal with a glass of rouge-colored vino. Which constantly contributes to sex. Splendid intercourse! Leather jacket, flannel-wrapped SEX in a cute lesbian-owned and controlled inn, with an attractive grownup lez whom just got back in city after summering in Provincetown.

When you should kick-off autumn, the season regarding the smart lesbian, start it off appropriate the next day at GirlNATION.

I myself have been to a lot of a fierce GirlNATIONnyc party throughout the many years, and without a doubt, it certainly is a teeming sea of sexy females bumping and milling and
slipping crazy
and getting close friends for life! The sapphic energy sources are strong at GirlNATIONnyc, and that I motivate one venture out of the disappointing abode this weekend, even if you do not know anyone who will be going. (i will be indeed there, and I also’m the
lesbian huge aunt
constantly down to gulp straight back some liqueur and practice a chit-chat and familiarizes you with some beautiful women!)

Successful Fall, queers.
