I should qualify this post by stating that I’m a “high femme” bordering on drag queen. I mean, old school lipstick lesbian. Not tomboy femme. Not hipster chic queer. These items are my obsessions, and I roll Michelle Obama style at work, and sparkly disco queen at night. So, if you know someone who you think might share my tastes, but are clueless about what to get them, my holiday gift picks could spare you unnecessary shopping stress.
