Thoughts On… My Fav Images of Kick-Ass Chicks Doing Kick-Ass Stuff

I use Pinterest a ton. While my public boards show pictures related to already-released concepts, my hidden boards are for inspiration only. Of these, my favorite board is what I call ‘needs a home.’ That’s where the good stuff lives.

So, whenever I see a kick-ass chick or cool image that doesn’t fit into a world that I’m actively building—and I’m up to 18 right now, I think—then I throw it into ‘needs a home.’ For my blog post this week, I thought I’d share some of the kick-ass chicks whose images haunt me as they wait for me to give them a story ‘home.’ Take a look and see if they capture your imagination, too…

What a great image! Plus the American flag shawl and Che Guevara sticker? Genius.

Badass in black and white.

Woodstock photo. I love the look on this girl’s face.

How kick-ass is this? It’s one of those images that’s so arresting to see, and almost impossible to write. Still love it, though.

I love the play on a burka here. Not sure if it’s on purpose, but it works.

I want to be this woman when I grow up, end of story.

I freaking adore this photo. I love the determination in the body language of the nun who is fighting, the way the guy she’s attacking looks terrified, and how the second nun has her hands clenched into fists, like she’s ready to jump in and help. Awesome.
