"Lipstick lesbian" is slang for a lesbian who exhibits a great amount of feminine gender attributes, such as wearing make-up, dresses or skirts, and having other characteristics associated with feminine women.[1] In popular usage, the term is also used to characterize the feminine gender expression of bisexual women,[1] or the broader topic of female–female sexual activity among feminine women.[2][3]
An alternate term for lipstick lesbian is doily dyke.[4][5]
