Definately a girlie girl. I did not like sports, getting dirty, working in the garden, etc. I had to wear dresses to school and couldn't wait to get out of them. however, I loved to get a really pretty church dress: the budget didn't allow that too often. It was tuff growing up with a tomboy mom and 2 brothers and dad. I did the camping and stuff and could deal with a little bit but hated extended hikes and sports, etc.
Here's the funny thing. My mom was the oldest and very much a tom boy. Her sister was just the opposite and hated my mom's hand me downs. This aunt had a daughter that was very much a tomboy like my mother: atheletic, etc although she always has her makeup perfect, hair done, etc. I am more like my aunt. I am girlie girl but never wear makeup and just pull my hair in a pony tail. Actually on my mom's side of the family I was the only girlie girl of my generation. My other cousin was more athletic and tomboyish too.

Well, are you gonna share how you paid, crh737?
Ok Buglady~
I'll paint the picture for you. This goes way back, my older sister lost her alone bedroom priviledges and I had to share with the slob! Yep she was, so picture this the wicked witch of the east and west combined that was my mother. (she started menopause and then got pregnant, so her hormones took an 360 degrees. Oh yeah)
So I had to clean our room in which my older sister did not, all her clothes in a pile. Well when I cleaned and made her bed I added the frogs, several of them. Believe it or not they were very quiet, must have been sleeping.
Well OS broke curfew, which I knew she would, so when she crept in and tried to slip into her bed, the frogs awoke, rotfl!!!!!
She screamed from the top of her lungs and woke my mother, my infant brother, and younger sister.
So being from a dysfunctional family you would have thought she would have got in trouble for breaking curfew, no I got in trouble because she woke the *witch* up! I had to do her chores for weeks....
Anyhow this did not stop, because I got her back. I had my OS check the mail. (I raised my younger brother and told her I thought the mail came early, my mom was not home.) So you could here her scream in the house from the outside. I had put a baby snapper in the mailbox.
Yup, Won again!
I must have been board, I also got my mom back, cuz when I made her bed, I slipped a rooster claw on her pillow, so when she slipped in it got caught in her hair.
Yeah you don't want to know how I paid for that now!!!!!!
Unfortunately as I grew older, even when I didn't do anything I was always pointed out and accused.
Honestly when I was married the first time and not even living there, they found a mouse in the house and accused me of buying one and letting it go in their house! Can you imagine.
I mean I was a rotten kid, but puleeze, buy a mouse! I would have caught one first 
CRH

Mostly Tom Boy with 25% girly girl. I get along better with men in the business world. I never had time for gossip nor was it appreciated in our family.

Being a girly girl doesn't mean one automatically participates in gossip. I was/am nearly all girly-girl, but my mother would have strung us up for idle gossip!

Qualification of gossip: early childhood to 19 years of age. We weren't allowed to discuss if "Johnny liked Mary type stories" and I was only allowed to play with my Barbie doll for 6 weeks because my brother felt that it would put me in a fantasy world of make believe and there were alot of girls at church that he felt who were in a fantasy world. On the flip side - my sister and I arm wrestled the boys when we were young until we were in the 8th grade when my brothers told us it wasn't a good thing to do. I swam on the boys swim team because I had a mean backstroke and always came in 2nd place. I was raised on, in and under water and was the first female in my high school in the 70's to get on the team. You have to admit that was a lot of gossip going on when we were younger about who liked who and did you knows? That's what was forbidden.
I'm sure I'll be hung out to dry on this post.

I LOVE the frog story! No wonder you bring cookies to the dark side...
I wonder if anyone has changed their perspective since growing up? I was so very much a tomboy but at the ripe old age on almost 50, I dabble with the girly side of me more often.

I was quite chubby so I never really felt good trying to dress like all the other little girls. I wished that I could, but I never did. My personality, however, wasn't girlie girl to the extreme. I didn't mind wrestling, playing football, or jumping in mud. Now I dress like a girlie girl but I still have the same personality.

I was both. I had an older brother so I enjoyed playing hotwheels with him. But then he would come into my room and brush my Barbie dolls' hair when it got messy because I didn't have the patience for it. I used to ride my bike, climb trees, and pretend I was an explorer. That was my favorite thing to do. Sometimes my friends and I would even hang from the swingset and pretend we were in a circus. Other times I played with my dolls, jumped rope, or played video games. My room has always been painted in a shade of pink and my linens always have pink or purple flowers.
Interestingly, now that I am adult, I still love pink, still love flowers, still love dolls, but hate make-up, dressing up, fixing hair, and all the other "girly" things. If you want to torture me, take me to a store and make me shop for clothes. Ugh!!!

Tom boy. Loved to climb trees and try to build a shack. I would have been great at sports had I not live with a relative who gave me exactly 30 minutes to get home daily, every minute had to be accounted for past that time.
So, Id take short cuts, jump over fences:) I was great at that! goofed off for 15 minutes and just about jogged the rest. ha!
Hated wearing dresses, I didnt like pink (its one of my fav colors now though). I still prefer pants though.

I was such the girlie girl growing up. Daddy's Little Princess, had everything pink, every Barbie doll, and dressed up just about everyday if I could get away with it.
It was as I grew older that my taste changed to the...less girlie side if you will. Now I think I'm a healthy balance.

I was somewhere in the middle I was never a girlee girl although my Dads did love me dearly.I played with dolls and my dogs.I made mud pies and tried baking pies.I hung out with girls and guys.I loved watching my parents at their crafts my step Dad was a Carpenter by trade and my biological Dad was great with creating things. I also asked alot of questions including while my Mom cooked and she was a great one by the way.Yep I was somewhere in the middle of both.

I have no idea what I was lol. I wanted to be a girlie girl but the moment I was dressed up and playing dolls I wanted to be a 'boy' play in the mud, build forts ect. I must say that now I am very happy being the girlie girl who can throw down with the boys!!
