A feminine lesbian. It can be used interchangably with femme to indicate a feminine lesbian, but strictly speaking, a femme is usually attracted to masculine, or butch, lesbians and a lipstick lesbian is attracted to other feminine lesbians.
Often thought of as demure, submissive creatures, many, if not all femmes and lipstick lesbians are quite strong, independant women.
Hmm, what's this? Sex and the City, hairstyle and fashion magazines, satin curtains, a dress spread out on the bed... a picture of two kissing women dressed in Edwardian style? Looks like I've stumbled into a lipstick lesbian's love nest.
My cousin married a man shortly after college, had two kids, then came out as a lesbian when she was 30. She dated women and got lesbian married. She still had feelings for men, though so she got lesbian divorced and became The Prodigal Lesbian: she’s now returned to dating men.
A feminine-type lesbian who is only attracted to other feminine lesbians. Not attracted to butch or masculine lesbians. Usually likes cats, cuddling, flowers, and affection. Also usually wears feminine clothing, long hair, very fawn-like and pretty. Would rather not have others thinking that all lesbians are butch-like and masculine.
(Any) "Oh my god, feminine lesbians are the cutest!"
(Straight horny men) "Hard to believe she's a lesbian!"
(Butch/Masculine) "Ughhh! I wish that was my girlfriend."
(Lipstick Lesbian) "If I wanted to date someone who looked like a man, I'd find a man."
