so much to say about 90s sluttiness
at 90swoman, we are talking about sluttiness.
like, how teen girls actually do want sex.
or how some formerly slutty women are now pro-abstinence.
and also, how ada doesn’t regret being slutty in the 90s.
and neither do i—with caveats
.
this took a lot out of me. i am now ready to go back to talking about glitter gel and plaid.

omg, marisa, are you reading this?! MEMORIES. “I wrote it about an ex-boyfriend, of course.”

what if judith butler was your butler?
marisa once went on vacation and stayed at a hotel where she had a butler who brought her toothpaste and offered to unpack her suitcase.
i was like, thats cool, but it would be cooler if judith butler was your butler. what would she do?
marisa said: “JB needs to do a lot of gender work. Like, maybe I’ll have her press my black dress but then she’ll be subversive and lay out a...

“wearing less than 3″ heels makes me a little anxious (i was ruined by working at...”
– ada, being hilarious. heels are my security blanket, too, though i felt that way way before my fashion magazine days. and she is right: vogue was totally not impacted by the 90s, and it was this throwback element of fashion and womens magazine publishing that made me desperate to get out, write a...

more on emp at 90swoman, starting...
