...Short, gorgeous bisexual feminist w/hips like a truck, seeks similar for talking, thrifting, wheat pasting, obsessive emailing, drinkin' and china pattern shopping. Must be happily trapped in non-profit ghetto, emotionally available and so small it hurts. No biphobic lesbians, boy crazy bis or diva trainees. Blood curdling sarcasm also completely unacceptable. Quakerism a plus...
