She's more......
Male and female represent the two sides of the great radical dualism. But in fact they are perpetually passing into one another. Fluid hardens to solid, solid rushes to fluid. There is no wholly masculine man, no purely feminine woman. - Margaret Fuller
Pedicures. And O.P.I's Affair In Red Square and the perfect coral. Diamonds in Platinum. All accessories really.

A stolen glance. Men in chinks. An intelligent opinion. Peterbilts. Confidence. A wink. Flirting. Wanting what you have. A kiss on the neck. Holding hands. Perfume. Bijan to Pleasures to Giorgio Red to Victoria's Secret Pink. Smelling good is an art.
Kissing my father good night. Being his daughter. Roping as well as a man. My punks and being the not so perfect mother. Having no regrets. Reading too much into things. Crying. Really, it's a pressure valve. Sometimes it just needs to open up. Getting to know me. Soft skin. Smooth legs after shaving. Straight leg blue jeans. Dr. Pepper. My bible and its worn pages. Sleeping in boxers. Wispy tendrils of hair that fly up to the sunroof while I'm driving. Cranking up Cross Canadian Ragweed's Alabama, just cause I can. Letting men be gentlemen. Blue eyes. Door opening and such. New mascara. God's country. Good conversation for hours. Giving good "Mind." Politics. Hips. My bra size. The curve of me. Throw pillows and tickling in bed. Forgiveness.

Or just loving me as I am. Sweet Nothings. Little dogs that fit into handbags with names like Macy and Cody. I'm almost ashamed to admit I own two. A cowdog named Hank. Baths with bubbles. Long rides in a new place. Hot showers with another. Knowing that wanting more doesn't make you less of anything. Being "LOST". Being called "Baby Girl" and liking it. Watching mustangs run and understanding the word majestic. A kiss seared into your memory.
Fresh wild flowers on my bedside table. Monogrammed stationary with silver E's swirled on the front. Self confidence. Loving what I do. Great hands. New Lipsticks. Being sassy. Ponytails. Strong, fast horses. A great smile. A knowing glance. A caress. Being the smartest person in a room. Laying in a hay field under the stars. Knowing you are needed. Having a handful of friends I'd give my life for. Wrap around porches. Desire. A slow dance in the kitchen. Fitting perfectly in the nook. Feeling beautiful naked, without artificial supplement, in front of the mirror, after my morning shower. Simply, that my body is mine even if it is not perfect. A glass of sweet tea brought out to the fields. Being the girl next door. It's good being a girl. And not minding it one bit! Sarcasm. A gold band. Being on the back of a BSA with my hair in the wind. Not living for another's opinion. Not minding being different. Unconditional love. Pursuing what I want. Belief in myself. Belief in God and his plan for me. Knowing the end is near. Watchin my punks become men I am proud of, as they are the best part of me. Hearing God speak.
…did I mention sexy heels, handmade cowboy boots, and expensive purses? Handmade gifts from the punks. The sun on my face. Not minding my hair turning gray. Wit. Playin in the dirt.
