How much am I loving myself for this post title? A WHOLE LOT. This is the first in what I hope will be many Interviews with Awesome Ladies. Let’s kick things off with the lovely Seraphine Naeymi. Seraphine is my pole dancing instructor at S Factor NY. I started classes at S Factor almost exactly a […] Read more…
I have a new best friend, a new girl crush, a new hero. You must, you must, you must, you MUST read this book. I don’t care if you’re a dude or a lady. Up until college, I emphatically and uncaringly said I was a feminist. I was down with women’s rights and the vote, […] Read more…
So a few weeks ago my brain made a crazy thought that was so loud, so angry, and so vicious that it made me cry: “What if [That Guy You Like] saw you doing this pole dancing shit?

I love pretty much […] Read more…

I’ve been working stupid amounts of overtime, and I can’t drink caffeine. Let’s all laugh instead. If you don’t read Busty Girl Comics yet, you should. The comics are funny, self-deprecating, witty, body-positive, inclusive, and fierce. The wonderful Rampaige’s responses to reader questions, comments, and even attacks are like mini-master classes in standing up for […] Read more…
You know how to find your size? Yay you! You are empowered! You are mighty! You are adventurous! Is there a chance that some of the bras you currently own may not be the best fit? Yeah, probably. Don’t feel bad. Some of mine aren’t the best fit and/or are old and worn out, and […] Read more…
