I discussed "mid-femme mode" here on 31 May.
Earlier today, Juan's New Male Fashion posted the accompanying photo of a fashionable fellow on the streets of New York City.
Juan noted the fellow's blouse, black skirt, leather purse and matching wristband. Juan (and I) did not care much for his shoes. Also, I noticed that he is wearing lip color and when I magnify the image, it looks like he is wearing nail polish, too.
I believe this is a very good example of mid-femme mode.
Beth mentioned to me how she goes out to places like Starbucks or JCPenney in "mid-femme mode" presenting not fully woman, but with feminine clothes, purse, etc., and has no problem.
I love going out full femme, but it is a lot of work and I have often considered going out in mid-femme mode when I don't have enough prep time. For example, instead of spending an hour applying makeup, maybe just put on some mascara and lipstick, then grab my purse and see how it goes.
I am the most feminine boy I know, so my speech and mannerisms are in the right ballpark. If I wore a bra and heels with one of my androgynous boy outfits, I might be able to pull it off.
Mid-femme mode would be pushing the envelope in a different direction and would be an interesting experiment in femulation.
What’s your mid-femme mode?
