The labia-loving ladies over at AfterEllen have been hard at work compiling a list of the top eleven (you know, just to be different) "lesbian accessories": the fashion-forward musts for the sapphic sartorialist. They include fan favorites like ties and guitars, while spicing it up with some more, shall we say, vacuous entries, like the straight hot girl. Features editor Melinda Lo explains the unsung benefits of the groundbreaking relationship:

The lesbian/hot straight girl friendship is untainted by lust or shared exes, and her willingness to flirt with all sorts of men can get you perks that you would never stoop to fetch on your own. Standing next to her only makes you look better.

Lo also maintains that a tie clocks in as the number one lesbian accessory, but worries about the rise of startling new fashion:

A troubling new development in lesbian tie culture is the trend of wearing one without a collared shirt. Nothing screams “I didn't know what to wear but that doesn't mean I'm not cool” like a tie worn over a T-shirt. Or a tank top. Wearers must think it makes them look like rock stars. It doesn't.
