Skirt.com

I stumbled on a terrific site, borne from a southern print publication. It’s called Skirt. Evidently its been around since 1994. Here’s the mission: “Our mission was to have a publication that spoke to all sides of a woman’s personality, so that’s why we sometimes describe it as part feminista, part fashionista . If we had an ideal reader, her name would be “Martha Steinem” because most of our readers are kickass liberals who also like to shop and cook and don’t think wearing lipstick means you don’t have a brain.” I don’t see myself as their ideal reader (I don’t like to shop or cook), but its cool to see articles and opinion that speak to the duality of women’s feminism, liberal views and questions about beauty and self-worth. Has anyone heard of this? Or read this?

Here’s a piece from a former model, now 38 year old mother of 3, and a feminist writer: A Model Feminist (by Jennifer Baumgardner).
