About Me

A handbag-obsessed nightowl with the gift of gab, I have been called a paradox: my looks apparently don't "match" my beliefs. I graduated from a superb liberal arts university with a fairly large feminist population. Most of my fellow feminist undergrads subscribed to a rather narrow and stifling view of feminism which held little room for caring about personal style, equating fashion with consumerist frivolity and overt femininity with the movement's counterproductivity.

I am here to tell you you do not have to fit into any feminist stereotype to support women's causes. Women are not a homogeneous species. Rather, we are a team comprised of diverse individuals as multi-faceted as fine diamonds. Our beliefs need not necessarily "match" our appearances. In fashion, as in feminism, fitting into a mold is not what it's all about. It's all about the freedom of personal expression--something each and every woman is entitled to.

Fashionable--chic, smart, stylish, current, popular, modish, voguish, elegant.

Feminism--the doctrine and movement advocating social, political, and all other rights of women equal to those of men.
