Let them eat cake

I am the kind of woman who wants her cake, will most likely eat it too, and when no one is looking, sneak back for seconds, but today I won’t concern you with my roguish sweet tooth. I want to talk about our desire to develop a publication that won’t skimp on the batter or the frosting.

I am not exactly sure how one goes about creating a magazine, but I figure that publically confessing our intention is just as good a start as any. I woke up the other day to the question “what is really stopping us?” I attempted to come up with answers, and I could not think of any (aside from not knowing what I am doing, lacking funding, and the whole publishers strike). But, those minor issues aside, I see this as a fail proof plan…

And about that cake. I am of the opinion that women are multi-dimensional, and that our interests span far beyond 100 ways to please our man (Thank you Cosmo). And no offense Martha, but I have no business handling a hot glue gun and when I plant seeds, they don’t grow. We are not saying to shelf the fashion, and head to the bakery, but we are convinced that chic and intellectual need not be mutually exclusive. So when you say that you want a publication that is a bit more holistic, relatable, and informative, we say you are entitled to ask for that and more. This is just the beginning, but we hope you will accompany us on this journey in creating something beautiful.
