Ken never did it for me either and I see this little Babydyke knows how it goes too.
Ken had better look out because he has met his match and HER name is Bobbie.
Back when I was a girl playing with my Barbie’s, much to my sister’s consternation, I would always pair up Barbie with one of her Barbie friends and have them make out, but it was never much fun because they were just too Femme for my tastes. So much to my little brothers regular consternation, I found I would rather play with his GI Joe action figures then with Barbie, so much as a matter of fact that one Christmas I got him the entire reparation of girl GI Joe action figures; Scarlett and the Baroness.
I guess my gaydar has always gone off in respects to these two and I quite frankly loved that they looked so butch; I thought they were attractive and hot. In retrospect and probably as harbinger of things to come for me, Scarlett and the Baroness turned out to be my just kind of girls, strong, determined, resourceful, with muscles and plenty of useful accessories. Also in retrospect and as a downside to an aspiring babydyke, who like myself who happens to like butch women, I think the reason these two have never just come out with their sexual orientation is because manufacturer Hasbro and the GI Joe Cobra squad has a tacitly understood Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell policy and as a whole Scarlett and the Baroness are not very good role models for all of us Out and Proud little dykes.
Now Hasbro had better take a good look at that DADT policy of theirs because a sister in New York City has shown we dykey doll lovers do have options and they are all BUTCH.
Made by a company named DYKEdolls and called the Bobbie Doll, they are Butch dolls right down to their tattoos, black leather jackets, boots, jeans,chain wallets and wife beater shirts. They come in three versions, Diesel dyke, Rockabilly dyke and Texas dyke and they come ready to play with strap-ons, vibrators and dildos.
DYKEdolls, founded by Stephanie Perdomo of New York City in 2002, is as far as I know, the worlds only out butch lesbian doll manufacturer. Stephanie says that it all started at the ripe old age of six, when she would receive gifts a doll that cried or peed when you pressed its stomach, think they were pretty lame and wanted to return it for a camping set. Many years later, Perdomo went to the toy store, looking for a gift for her nephew. She noticed the sport-figurines and found an immediate connection.I always played sports, so when I saw the sports figures, I thought it was pretty cool, something I wanted to get”.
She realized that the doll market had changed significantly, and that there were a lot more dolls out there, a lot more variety to suit different people…and there were just a lot more dolls that appealed to the adult.
Stephanie also saysThe idea of DYKEdolls came up because I started seeing all types of areas represented through dolls. I mean, the ideas that a lot dolls actually reflect what is going on in current culture is interesting to me. There was still an area that I didn’t see much of.
Thus, DYKEdolls was born.
According to Stephanie, her DYKEdolls are a reflection of people she knows or has known in the past and the name was just came naturally to her.
Now while I wouldn’t expect to see this Lezzie toy at Toys R Us anytime soon, as the DYKEdoll figures, which will sell for $49.95 apiece, are aimed at a bit older demographic then what is normally found at Jeffery the Giraffes house, Stephanie told me that most of her sales come from the internet, but that some retail stores also carry them and that times she even gotten emails from moms saying they plan to buy one for their gay daughters….
Stephanie also produces a line of dyke action figures called “BABYDYKES” and sells other related items on her website at DYKEdolls.com… so head on over and check out a little Out and Butch DYKEdoll action.
All I have to say is "Stephanie, where were you when I was 10 and only had closeted dyke dolls too play with?"
Tali Shapiro. She pretty much rocks my world. If you don't know who she is, you should. She's a rockin', super-talented 24 year-old arts student and lover of pinups and retro American culture. She's also been busy creating her newest (and quite fabulous if I do say so myself) pin-up girl art, but we'll get to that shortly. First, let's take a step back into history and explore the world of pin-up culture...
A pin-up girl or pin-up model is a model whose mass-produced pictures see wide appeal as pop culture. Pin-ups are intended for informal display. Pin-up girls are often glamour models, fashion models, and actresses.
"Pin-up" may also refer to drawings, paintings and other illustrations done in emulation of these photos (see the List of pinup artists). The term was first attested to in English in 1941; however the practice is documented back at least to the 1890s. The “pin up” images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers, or be from postcard or chromo-lithographs, and so on. Such photos often appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later, posters of “pin-up girls” were mass-produced.
Many “pin ups” were photographs of celebrities who were considered sex symbols. One of the most popular early pin-up girls was Betty Grable. Her poster was ubiquitous in the lockers of G.I.s during World War II. Others pin-ups were artwork, often
depicting idealized versions of what some thought a particularly beautiful or attractive woman should look like. An early example of the latter type was the Gibson girl, drawn by Charles Dana Gibson. The genre also gave rise to several well-known artists specializing in the field, including Alberto Vargas and George Petty, and numerous lesser artists such as Art Frahm.
The term “cheesecake” is synonymous with “pin-up photo”. The earliest documented print usage of this sense of “cheesecake” is in 1934, predating “pin-up”, although anecdotes say the phrase was in spoken slang some 20 years earlier, originally in the phrase (said of a pretty woman) “better than cheesecake”. In the 1950's, for example, there was a magazine called Cheesecake that had a young Marilyn Monroe in an itsy bitsy yellow bikini on its cover in 1953.
These days men can be considered “pin ups” as well and there are male equivalents of attractive and sexy actors such as Harrison Ford or numerous male models, but really who wants to see pin-ups of men. Women are so much sexier!
Some famous Pin-Up girls include (to name a few):
-Bette Davis
-Joan Crawford
-Mae West
-Judy Garland
-Rita Hayworth
-Audrey Hepburn
-Grace Kelly
-Doris Day
-Faye Dunaway
-Mary Tyler Moore
-Jane Fonda
...and many more
And now, Lesbiatopia is proud to introduce, courtesy of the fabulous art of Tali Shapiro, your newest pin-up girl (just in time for Valentines Day)...
DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!
Lesbiatopia's own Editor-in-Chief, Lesberita!!!
You might remember back to the beginning of January when Paula the Surf Mom introduced us to Tali, dubbing her (quite enthusiastically) as the Pin-Up Queen (yeah baby!). Paula talked about how Tali was "bringing cheesecake back in vouge" and boy did she ever! I was ecstatic when Tali agreed to make my shining face into her Valentine's Day pin-up girl. To Tali, Valentine's Day is very much a love hate relationship, as she explains on her website:"Some of us love it and celebrate it with our beloved, and some of us spend it sitting alone, in a dark corner of a bar, muttering bitterly how Valentine's sucks. This design captures the duality of the love/hate relationship most of us have with Valentine's day. Love it or hate it, tell everybody how you feel about it with the 'Valentine's is for Pussies' bitter-sweet pinup, and click on one of the items below!
I know I've had my moments of loving (and hating) Valentine's Day too, and I think pretty much everyone can relate to our culture's rollercoastery attitude towards a holiday whose historical significance dates back to the days of Chaucer and his poem about St. Valentine and looooove:
"For this was on seynt Volantynys day
Anyway, whatever feelings you desire to express on V-Day (love, hate or delicious ambiguity), be sure to check out Tali's little shop of pin-ups (and her pin-up blog, too!), where retro pop-art meets the modern-day women. Is that sexy, or what?? MEEEE-OOOOOWW!!
Whan euery bryd comyth there to chese [choose] his make [mate]."
Let's face it, ever since the days of Sapphos, lesbians have entered relationships at warp speed. The excerpt below is a passage from a poem written by Sapphos herself while living on the Isle of Lesbos at the time of Ancient Greece:
"but come--if ever before
having heard my voice from far away
you listened, and leaving your father's
golden home you came
in your chariot yoked with swift, lovely
sparrows bringing you over the dark earth
thick-feathered wings swirling down
from the sky through mid-air
arriving quickly--you, Blessed One,
with a smile on your unaging face
asking again what have I suffered
and why am I calling again..."
There's the age old running joke Q:"What does a lesbian bring on the second date?" A: "A U-Haul" and for some reason, all lesbians are guilty of going through this at least once in their dating lives. So what's up with lesbians and their tendency to progress in a relationship at lighting speed? Well, I've come up with a few of my own theories that I would like to explore here.*
*Please be advised these theories are for entertainment purposes only. The views expressed in this article may have been written when I was drunk or sleeping. Please do not take them too seriously (or may god have mercy on your lipgloss).
Theory 1 - The low-income theory
This theory targets the younger lesbian population, either collegiate lesbians or recently graduated lesbians who have recently entered the working world. These women usually find themselves in crappy entry-level jobs which pay slightly over the poverty line. It is also known that most women graduate with substantial amounts of student loan debt and find themselves struggling to make ends meet in the real word. If lesbian 1 happens upon a lady caller of interest, it immediately becomes apparant to her that having said lady move in would subsequently reduce ther rent by 50% with the sharing of living costs. This would make paying for their already too-pricey ultra-hip art district studio apartment a lot easier on the wallet. With that said, the lady being courted might be encouraged rather rapidly to pack up her U-Haul and move on in.
Theory 2 - The beloved pet theory
This theory targets lesbian pet owners and the women they date. There are two classes of 
lesbians; the dog lesbians and the cat lesbians. Very rarely will you encounter a lesbian who shares a love for both species, it is almost always one or the other. Often times two women will start dating, one of whom owns a pet (we'll call it "Fluffy" for reasons of consistency). Lesbian 1 is very loyal to Fluffy; she has had him for many years and they are great companions. Then, lesbian 1 meets lesbian 2 and the sparks really fly. The relationship progresses in a great direction and they are spending a lot of time together. Suddenly, lesbian 1 starts to experience pangs of guilt for her neglect towards Fluffy. Fluffy has started to rebel by peeing on the carpets and pooping in the bathtub. Feeling torn between her new lover and her beloved pet, lesbian 1 comes to the conclusion that the only way to keep everyone happy and continue on with her life is to invite lesbian 2 to move in with her, and thus the U-Haul is packed up and off they go.
Theory 3 - The ugly theory
The ugly theory is simple, so I won't waste too much of your time here. It targets lesbians who feel they are ugly and find they have to compensate for their percieved ugliness with a really fantastic personality. This breed of lesbian's fear of rejection and the idea of never finding true love may lead to slight delirium. In these cases, the delirium may cause the lesbian to attach themselves to the first woman that shows a vested interest in them. This can lead to attached-at-the-hip-syndrome and ultimately cause the delirious lesbian to invite their new girlfriend to move in as soon as possible. This false sense of security that comes with the idea that if you live with your girlfriend, than you must be in a stable long-term relationship. Given the reality of how lesbian drama in these circumstances usually plays out, this situation almost always ends up in tragedy for the not-so-happily married couple.
Theory 4 - The first girlfriend theory
This theory is for everyone, whether you dated guys first (unfortunately) or you have only been 
with girls, if you're a lesbian you had to start somewhere and that somewhere was your first girlfriend. Whether you spent just a few short weeks, or many long years together, there is no denying that they were probably some of the most intense moments of your life. You probably stopped calling all your friends, had more sex than you ever imagined possible, and disappeared off the face of the earth (and this is all within the first month). And with all those endorphins flowing, who could resist jumping on the bandwagon and getting your own place together? So the U-Haul pulls up and for a few months, all is happy in paradise, and then reality sets in. The true colors shine and you pack up your U-Haul and flee the nest in search of your next great love. Don't worry though, you'll certainly never forget your first girlfriend, you'll also never make that mistake again.
So here I will conclude this segment on theories of the lesbian U-Haul phenomena. Don't don't go
getting all flustered and feeling like you just can't seem to get it right when it comes to dating. I'll admit, I'm not perfect either (no matter how much I try). In fact, I pulled a U-Haul so badly with my first girlfriend that some might call it an OVERhaul. We were actually roommates before we started dating, so when our relationship began, we were already living together. That should make you feel a little better now.
In conclusion, The next time you're ready to pack up your stuff and run off to a tropical island with your new girlfriend, stop and think about your motives. Is it really because her pet Fluffy is so damn cute? Is it because she makes enough money to cover the cost of living and pay for the groceries? Or is it because you are simply too scared to be alone? Whatever the reason (and I don't care how great the sex is), make sure to re-think everything through 10 times or else you might find yourself stuck with a mortgage and a not-so-cute pet that pees on the carpet and poops in the tub.

(an editorial note from Paula the Surf Mom)
Our regular readers have over the past couple weeks been noticing that every Friday Lesbiatopia's talented exclusive resident artist, Muchachita has been posting her wonderful little cartoons here and I think they are quite honestly just adorable.
But just today I got an E-Mail asking me who is Muchachita? Well as I read the E-Mail I happened to think to myself how rude of us here to have not properly introduced her to all of you.
Muchachita is from Spain, but she is currently residing in the United Kingdom, where she is a student. She draws her cartoons for us and does all of our special art projects for articles and such. She is also quite the sweetie, as I think you can tell from her work. Muchachita is pretty humble, but every artist wants to know people like their work, so please let her know what you think if you like what she does, because for Muchachita it is a labor of love.

Lesbian Cartoons: The Outing of Velma Dinkly
Back in March our editor in chief, Lesberita, wrote an article called the Top 10 Lesbian Cartoon Characters and in that article she called into question the sexuality Velma Dinkley, the bespectacled and somewhat butch crime fighter of the TV show 'Scooby Doo Where Are You?', and who is famous for the lines "Jinkies!" and "My Glasses! I can't see without my glasses!
In that article Renee pointed out;
Velma always tries to sit next to Daphne in the Mystery Machine. She is always seen sportin' that butch haircut. Plus, she has these big broad shoulders and wears thick turtleneck-sweaters and knee socks. Her fashion sense is pretty much non-existent and she never once shagged Shaggy.
But at the time Lesberita was writing of that article we here at Lesbiatopia had no real proof other then these outward tale tale dyke signs that Velma was gay and when we contacted MS. Dinkly she would neither confirm or deny the rumors that she was indeed a lesbian.
Now Outing someone against their will is not something the editorial staff here at Lesbiatopia would normally condone as we view Outing as a monumental intrusion of individual privacy. So like most the mainstream media, we generally refuse to report on the homosexuality of people who are not charged with a crime. This reluctance results chiefly from our fear of libel lawsuits and a loss of our respectability by us publishing "sleazy" news.
But in these days of Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, we have come to notice that sleaze sells and when we uncovered irrefutable proof that Velma Dinkley was indeed a closet lesbian we took the low road and thought of our our ratings. But altruistically we also wanted to force MS Dinkley to 'get out and get proud' about who and what she is, so we also think we did this for her own good as well.
So here it is folks, the absolute proof that Velma Dinkly of Scooby Doo is a lesbian and remember you saw it here on Lesbiatopia first.

1. Betty Boop
Other female characters of the same time period showed their panties regularly, like Minnie Mouse, but didn't have those sexy curves. Betty Boop, however, revels in her sexuality. She wears short dresses and a garter belt yet never once do you see her with a man. Plus, her breasts are prominent, and she shows her cleavage making all the girls go ga-ga.
2. Wilma Flintstone
Wilma plays the strong-willed, level-headed person in her marriage, often criticizing Fred for pursuing his various ill-fated schemes because of his moronic behavior. To keep true to herself, the flirtations with Betty Rubble were obviously an intense affair that just never got the screen time it deserved. 
3. Alice in Wonderland
Have you ever seen Alice with a guy? She surrounds herself with cute little animals and goes on adventures through a mystical forrest. She's obviously smoking something because she has several hallucinations. The reference to Alice "falling down the rabbit hole" is an obvious allegorical reference to lesbian sex. 
4. Catwoman
This character is rather obvious. Catwoman can be loosely interpreted as "Woman who likes pussy". She's been the object of Batman's affections for years yet it is obvious that she doesn't like him more than just a friend. Sorry Batman! Catwoman's villianous side makes her one sexy dyke with an attitude. 
5. Jem (from Jem and the Holograms)
"Showtime, Synergy!" and "Truly outrageous!" Jem is a rocker chick with big hair and a secret identity who only her Hologram bandmates know about. Jem and Aja, the guitarist and backup singer, are REAL close. Aja is cool and level headed and their mutual flirtations have not gone unnoticed. Plus she is always driving Jem around.
6. Ursula
Two words: Octopussy. With all those tentacles, she's sure to be a real lady pleaser. Overweight, a little on the crazy side, I mean how much dykier can she get? Plus, her overt attraction to Ariel and the fact that it was clearly NOT reciprocated, made her resort to typical crazy lesbian behavior out of desperation.
7. Velma (from Scooby Doo)
Velma always tries to sit next to Daphne in the Mystery Machine. She is always seen sportin' that butch haircut. Plus, she has these big broad shoulders and wears thick turtleneck-sweaters and knee socks. Her fashion sense is pretty much non-existent and she never once shagged Shaggy.
8. Peppermint Patty
Peppermint Patty is a shoe-in for a lesbian. She has a deep, gravelly voice and always wears pants, not dresses, like the other Peanuts gals. She also plays a mean game of football and likes to taunt Charlie Brown. She's most definitely sleeping with the rather androgynous Marcie. 
9. The Powerpuff girls
These girls are bright and rainbowy. They are ALWAYS together and exhibit that classic lesbian attached-at-the-hip syndrome like no other. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a little menage trois action going on between the 3 of them. They have amazing superpowers but oddly enough, lack fingers which makes them all the more intriguing. Don't be fooled by their cuteness, these dykes can easily open up a can of whoopass if you mess with them. 
10. Smurfette
One blue girl in a sea of blue men, yet not an ounce of sexual tension. That sounds like a big fat lesbian to me. Poor Smurfette had low self-esteem and thought she was ugly, but really she just needed to hit up a good dyke bar and take home a hottie.
