Jo is my character darling in Little Women.  My summer in Cambridge was spent penning a comparative thesis on Austen and Bronte.  Margaret Mitchell, Sylvia Plath, Ayn Rand, George Eliot, Emily Dickinson, all bosom friends of my erudite hopeful heart.

When asked to write an essay glorifying my gender, honor filled my feminine breast.  And I couldn’t be more delighted to have my praise included in the “We are Women” project.

“We Are Women” is a collection of essays and photographs depicting the divinity of womanhood. 

Utah locals please attend that I may live vicariously through you. Those joining me outside the borders of the beehive state, the book will be released to the general public on the morrow. 

The proceeds of this effort will support the Campaign to End Fistula.

Sartorial: From Late Latin sartor, tailor.  Of or pertaining to clothing or style or manner of dress

As a devoted logophile, addicted to fancy synonyms, the concept had me at appellation.


And I’ve adored the Sartorialist blog cataloging street fashions on real people for many moons, but now a book of the best.

id est: Missy Milano, I fancy this modern fancy, sans the life span truncating addiction stick.  

And what focus on next week?  Closet Organizing Tools, Detestable Fashion, Plus Sizes?  It’s like too many pretty shoes, vote in the comments and help me decide.
