"The women, their ball skills, their fashion steez"

A big wide-mouthed smile to say hello to you all :D

If you're reading this then you've undoubtedly heard a stereotype or 3  about the lesbian community. Getting into them all would take a good long while so we're simply going to highlight one for today.

APPARENTLY.. ALLEGEDLY.. SO THEY SAY: Dykes or lesbians...or these "women who sleep with women", (call it what you will) do nothing else with their lives besides drinking, shagging a wide variety of random lady friends and having a jolly good time spending their rainbow Madiba Rands.... Debauchery all day, everyday then yes?

Well  imagine our surpise when we received an invite to a sports day chilled something.
A sunny Sunday afternoon of physical activity and laughter amongst queers of different area codes. Non-professional. No pressure. Zero financial gain... Really? This had never been done  before, we had to see it... SO WE WENT.

Basketball, Netball, 6-per side Soccer and a range of indigenous games were the order of the day. 
24th Novemeber 2013. Zoo lake, Johannesburg- Lesbian entertainment entity "OPEN CLOSET" hosted this day and as the Queerntessential Threads police, we were pleasantly surprised. The lovely types pulled through in their numbers and it was heart warming to see that stereotype we mentioned up top...steadily lose relevance

It was a day of clean sober fun all around and the people obviously didn't come in the nude so our eyes has lots to savour on.. *chuckle*

Their varying fashion combinations.. The colours chosen. The good, the almost-had-it plus the WHAT-IN-THE-WORLD-WAS-SHE-THINKING?! the choice of the day were hella interesting.

Let me stop blabbering and let the pictures tell the full tale...

"Queerntessential threads: We find them. We show them. You like them" ;)

We thought the lady in the right looked rather cool in her army pants and the ensemble worked well. But it's was a sports day, not a fashion show. Or did we not get the memo?

She was ready for the tennis, hey what ever happened to playing tennis on the day?

Who said butches can't handle balls? Well done on beating the femmes 50 - 5 bois!!

Apparently 'ballers' are the 'in thing' now. And we agree, even even they out for sports days, and running around, and handling balls and getting sweaty, their swag is still 100. In the picture is Dez and Kay rocking Jordans, Basketball shorts and tank tops. I hope ya'll are taking notes.

Were yall discussing fashion here or some such?!

Never seen lesbians so passionate about sports. Intense!

The lady on right, Paige Foure, so swaggy!! We Love!!! Remember ladies, if you showing off your upper assets, then refrain from exposing the lower part. She nailed the look, do you agree?

 

The fashionista, Leboo, on the right. She is a great soccer player, and also kills her looks every single time. I am yet to see her on a bad day, I dont think she has any of those
