The urge to conform & the instinct that whispers its not right

There have been a couple of exceedingly thoughtful articles/opinion pieces lately that while different, are both about the pressure to conform, especially for girls. First was Amy Taylor’s brilliant piece in response to the Abercrombie & Fitch “Why we hate fat people” brouhaha, An Open Letter from a ‘Fat Chick’ to Mike Jeffries, CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch, and then today, I read Rachel Si...

Caridad Ferrer said "yes" to attending Book Reading/Signing date: December 07, 2010 07:00PM location: Third Place Books, 17171 Bothell Way NE, Seattle, WA, The United States description: An alluring novel of passion, ambition, temptation and a young woman’s discovery of the meaning of love. In this contemporary interpretation of Bizet's Carmen in which the fiery gypsy is reinvented as a modern-day dancer, torn between the attentions of an intense music prodigy and a dashing soccer player, Ferrer brings to the page a story so lush and enthralling, you won’t be able to put it down. Come meet the author on December 7th, at 7PM.
