Like a lot of gay people, I’m a Mac girl. As in, my laptop is an Apple and I should have a permanent jack implanted in my head for my Ipod. I actually have three Macs and two Ipods, so if that doesn’t make my point I don’t know what will. I’m a died in the wool Mac girl, which apparently is the norm for the gay community.
I had to take my baby in to get repaired to the Apple store in Manhattan Beach the other day. I was greeted at the door by a sweet gay boy that I was pretty sure I’d seen dancing on a bar the night before in WeHo. I was then told to wait till my name was called by the first gay … err I mean, genius available.
While I was waiting I noticed I was being eye fucked by an older butch women a few feet away. I don’t use that term too loosely either. There’s a difference between getting cruised and getting eye fucked. She was definitely doing the latter and was unabashed about it. By the time she was done I was grateful it was all in her mind, because I think she would have been pretty rough on me. When she realized I realized what she was doing, she didn’t stop. She simply smirked and continued with the satisfaction of knowing that we were both fully aware of the imaginary lesbian action happening in the middle of the store. Good Lord, there were children around!
Right after that whole shenanigan, I turned my attention to the rest of the room to see what else was going on besides my invisible molestation. Imagine my joy when in walked another older butch woman, but this one was way more entertaining. She sauntered in with her shoulders thrown back and more then a bit of a cowboy swagger going on. Which fit since she was wearing black leather chaps. Yep. I said it. She was actually wearing chaps with the ass of her jeans now bunched up and sticking out of the back. But that didn’t affect her feeling of cool, detached butchness. She walked in like she owned the joint. A rather large black man took a look at her up and down and decided she had the right of way.
I couldn’t help but smile. So gay. Just soooooo gay.
I turned my attention back to the other butch woman who was now done with me and had noticed that another butch had entered her territory. There was a brief meeting of the eyes between the two, a mutual head nod and then they went in opposite directions in the store as if silently agreeing to keep their distance from one another.
My name was finally called and my favorite gay boy/Apple genius. He waved me over with the flamboyancy that only “our people” can conjure up. After a few minutes I left my baby in his healing hands and made my way out of the store. But not before I made a mental note of how many obviously or suspiciously gay people I saw. I counted 5 gay boys that worked there, 2 probable lesbians working, 3 stone butches and about 4 other gay or seemingly gay costumers wandering around with a look of bliss on their faces. They were probably thinking what I was thinking, “Wow, Apple stores are SO gay!”
So next time you’re hard up on fresh meat, maybe you should go browse around your local Apple store. I might not be single any more but that doesn’t mean I can’t keep an eye out for you.
LMAO!!!! This is so true. I’m a mac girl too and I happen to be a big homo! I was just an Apple store in OC and it was pretty gay now that I think about it, but I didn’t get eye fucked by anyone
Maybe I should make more eye contact? lol
I’m jealous of that old Butch. I’m not old but I can eye fuck you like no one else. Just give me a chance. I want to take you to dinner. I’ll take you to my favorite place, Murano. Ever been?
omg this entry is awesome! we need an apple store!

WTF is up with old dykes and chaps?? I swear I saw that at pride. And I’ve been to an apple store but i didn’t get eye fucked by anyone, not even an old perv. Some girls have all the luck. I need to hang out with you.
Hey Sash, I think you have too many blog stalkers. What does Remi think when she reads all your indecent proposals you get? If you were my woman I’d put a stop to it.
Sasha, you need to make a choice and block LB from commenting on your blog.
omg I agree with Jenny… I want to come over to your house and hang out … go to an apple store.. go clubbing…
Hey Wishful Thinker sorry to burst your little never been shot down bubble but I’ve already taken Sasha to that restaurant;) She’s not gonna go out with you either. So sorry lol
yep, read this on a mac,as I was downloading songs to my Ipod. While wondering if I was going to go to the mac store today.
I just found your blog today, a friend was reading it at work and then we all started reading it. I came home and read through all your old blogs. I’m not done yet but I had to write to you. I know you’re in a relationship but I have to at least try. You’re the kind of girl I’ve been looking for my whole life. You’re beautiful, smart and strong but need to be taken care of in some ways. I can do that. I want to do that. Please give me a chance. I’ve never gone after somebody elses girl before but i have to. Please add my on myspace and if you like what you see maybe you’ll let me take you out. I know how to treat a woman like you, like a queen. Please check your myspace, I’m not too hard on the eyes
Hey Sasha, I could have sworn I saw you last Sat night in WeHo and then I saw your blog about going out there. Were you wearing a VERY VERY VERY low cut white top, off the shoulder with pin striped pants and heels? If you were then I def saw you. I would have come up and said hi but you and Remi (I’m assuming) were pretty um. busy.
It’s just nice to see you are as wild as you write about. It was fun seeing you in person. Maybe next time I’ll say hi.
sasha…you made my day and the day of my coworkers (especially he whom you met at the door). next time you’re in the store, please say hello!
cat77 I am shocked cause I was about to write about how last week I had to take my mac into the genius bar to get fixed and I bought it from the OC store and since I’m in LB it’s easy to hop on the freeway down to the South Coast Apple store and the 2 days I went there I DIDN’T see any gay people in the entire store! Just a bunch of dorky white guys or preppy OC girls. Next time…I’m GOIN TO MANHATTAN BEACH! I hate orange county.
Manhattan Beach is a very straight area, so just imagining the scene made me laugh. [great post, btw.]
So, there are no gay bars and no visible gay and lesbian community in the South Bay, but apparently –and maybe because of that fact–there are chap-wearing dykes and gay boys galore in the computer store that has some vague affiliation to artsy fartsyness? Too funny! I only hope the chap-wearer went and got a Jamba Juice afterwards and took a leisurely stroll up and down the street with all the foo foo high-yuppie botiques and shook up the locals and the tourists a little bit more than their half caffe soy lattes could.
