Girlz 4 Christ Says Girls are Important!

Becoming a magazine editor takes years of hard work, starting out as the intern getting coffee for all the bigwigs, right? Not so! I became a magazine editor, but my story is a little different. When I was 17 years old, I became a magazine article writer. Was I told that I was too young?…

Born with pink bootees!

I was born on April 18, 1934 … yes, I’m very old … and wise … but still mad at the world to have been born to wear pink bootees. I was born on my brother’s 6th birthday and he wanted a horse so this set the relationship that continues today. By age 10, I…

Thumb broken. Need your help.

As I mentioned over on the Girls Can’t WHAT? Facebook page, I had surgery on my thumb a few weeks ago. I am currently starting week 8/10 with my hand in a cast. This makes it very difficult to type and of course draw new Girls Can’t WHAT? characters for the shop. But that hasn’t stopped…

This might be the craziest thing I’ve ever done…

Last month I almost quit. Since I started Girls Can’t WHAT? 2005, there have been a lot of sites pop up that have pretty much been copycats of what I’ve done. It’s flattering and all but I feel like all we’ve done is collectively saturate the market with cute stories, feminist news and lots of…
