Right now California polls aren’t even fully counted yet, but I just found this amazing video that Amber Tamblyn and America Ferrera (Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, Joan of Arcadia, The Ring, Real Women Have Curves) they did a video of Hillary, and I believe it shows how kind she is and how much she […]

Stop the Hate.

Even though I am proud to be a supporter of Obama, I support Hillary Clinton’s campaign and want to see her and Obama run as a joint ticket. We need change and action. We need his hope and vision and her experience in order to take our country back.
We need to move way from the […]

January 4th, 2008 · 3 Comments
A friend last night asked me why I, a feminist and pro-choice activist was endorsing Obama rather than Hillary Clinton (who I of course admire and support as a highly capable candidate). I explained to her that Mr.Obama has the potential to change the way politics are done in this country. I am hopeful that […]

Onslaught
November 12th, 2007 · No Comments
I am working on the Fashion & Beauty Communications Milestone at SU. It’s such a unique and interesting program that allows me to study History of Fashion Design (even though I’m not in the Art & Design school) and Beauty & Diversity in the Media. At least, that’s what I am studying this semester. […]
