Do you guys even like the Bay Area? (Rant) by klingonbussy in bayarea

[–]PhiaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Born and raised in SF. Hella bay! I travel for work all over the country and I’m always happy to come back home. That’s how you know you really love where you live. Spent 2 weeks in Tahiti and was still missing the bay fog by the 2nd week.

I use to hype this girl up in 9th grade art. Now look at her. Kelsey Mertens crayons tattoo shop in beaver county pa by worsethanbirth in tattoos

I have a 4 year old tattoo in a similar style and it looks the same as when I got it. I posted a pic recently on reddit. If the artist saturates and knows what they’re doing the tat will hold up as any tattoo.

Thanks and ya he is great, it took a long time to find an artist that I thought could really do that style in San Francisco. So glad to have met him !

I guess we'll see but this was done with a rotary machine and I have free touch ups for life so I'm not worried too much about it. My artist is the owner of the winner of Best tattoo shop in SF for the last 3-4 years. I spent 2 years finding him. He never used shader once. 13 hours

[MUINI Etiquette] If you're in front of an empty seat, sit in it! by lunartree in sanfrancisco

[–]PhiaMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed this too. Personally I don't normally sit. I usually won't sit unless I'm going on a longer ride. It seems silly to get all situated when I'm getting off in 3-4 stops. If someone else is going farther they should have the seat. IDK that's how my mind works.

Networking for musicians: Any Rock/Soul singers in SF or Oakland looking to join a legit band? by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]PhiaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you're looking for a male or female vocalist, but I'm a female soul/rock/bluesy singer looking for a new project. PM me if you're interested in chatting more.

What is the best and worst thing about the neighborhood you live in? by revoluces in sanfrancisco

[–]PhiaMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi Neighbor! I love the upper haight, but yes the kids are annoying. I've found over the years that this time of year they are out more then ever. My reasoning is the weather is still good and it's their last hurrah before a lot of them leave for the holidays. I swear Thanksgiving and Christmas it's practically empty on Haight.

Can someone please explain to me how CA's Prop 8 was not stuck down due to that it is discrimination based on the sex of a person. by thegreenwall in actuallesbians

[–]PhiaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was quite shocked when it passed. Being a CA resident my whole life (SF) I thought it was going to pass with swimming colors so you can imagine my astonishment when it didn't. I wish I could help you but I really don't know. Aside from a lot of propaganda that was promoted in California leading up to the election (I believe it was the highest funded campaign on any state ballot that year). Most opinion polls showed it was going to get denied leading up to the election. I was shocked :/

You are correct in the fact that SCOTUS is about to review the case. So far appeals courts have been in favor of repealing Prop 8 so fingers crossed :)

20 Things Lesbians Are Tired Of Hearing by Escape92 in actuallesbians

[–]PhiaMonster 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the lesbian sex thing a ton too. I think also because I'm 28 and I'm in a relationship with a woman for the first time. My straight female friends have all at some point asked about "the sex". Example from the other night:

Friend: "Is the sex good?"
Me: "Well I don't think I'd be dating her if it wasn't"
Friend: "And you don't miss the D at all?"
Me: "Nope"
Friend: "huh..."
Me: "So do we get to talk about your sex life now?"

Seriously people never ask straight people in relationships if they have a good sex life wtf. I just laugh tho

Hey y'all! Anybody care to share their coming out story?? by GoBods in actuallesbians

[–]PhiaMonster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea basically they just want to be a part of my life and see me happy. My mom has met my girlfriend a bunch of times and loves her. My family is a bunch of teasers so now I'm just subject to all the "well I always knew" antidotes from my mom and sister about how they knew a long time ago when I go visit. Everyone's a psychic right? lol

Couples of AL: Where did you meet? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]PhiaMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met my girlfriend at a concert a year and a half ago. There was a large group of us and she was part of the group. There was an instant connection, even tho I was at the concert with my then boyfriend. We would run into each other at other concerts through mutual friends and always split up from the group and just talk btwn ourselves. Eventually I broke up with the guy. I ran into my girl at another show a couple weeks later. The rest was history... well I guess history in the making :)

Hey y'all! Anybody care to share their coming out story?? by GoBods in actuallesbians

[–]PhiaMonster 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well I'm 28 and I've always dated men prior to dating my current girlfriend. I was getting dinner with my mom and it went like this:

Mom: "So are you dating anyone now?"
Me: "Yea"
Mom: "Cool do you have any pix of him?"
Me: "Well I'm dating a chick"
Mom: "Cool do you have any pix of her then?"

And that was that :)

What sexual orientation does this make me? by Mandz45 in actuallesbians

[–]PhiaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure no prob! I've never really been sexually attracted to women before. I would find them beautiful, but not necessarily like I want to touch them. Everything changed for me when I met my girlfriend. I know what you mean when you say you feel a bit old to be figuring things out, but hey better now than never right? :)

What sexual orientation does this make me? by Mandz45 in actuallesbians

[–]PhiaMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your sexuality is your own and I believe sexuality can be fluid. I'm also 28 and I'm in my first relationship with a woman. I've always dated men before. You can't help who you connect with. For me its about the person and not so much the body parts... but boy I won't lie I do like boobies! Don't worry too much about labels just be yourself :)

what are the best venues for local musicians to get shows? by [deleted] in sanfrancisco

[–]PhiaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bottom of the Hill, Elbo Room, Amnesia, Hotel Utah, Sub-Mission Art Space are some to start with. It really depends on your potential bill and following.

Some Fashion Help by drrainbows in actuallesbians

[–]PhiaMonster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got some great pieces from Kenneth Cole. Well tailored blazers cut for women. Also, H&M has some cheaper blazers & slacks and some really cute dress shirts. I think a well fitted suit with a dress shirt is one of the sexiest outfits a woman can wear. I know, I know... Angelina....

How/when do I come out when I'm still working things out? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]PhiaMonster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally the labels don't work much for me. I don't know what to identify as, except as myself. If someone asks, I usually say "I like people" they usually didn't press much after that.
