Mrs. Tinkler’s Evening Wear

In December of last year, I modeled a cocktail dress for a designer by the name of Kathleen Tinkler. As sweet as she is talented, Mrs. Kathleen Tinkler was happy to have women of all shapes, heights and sizes to model her beautiful clothing. Spring is usually wedding season, so why not take a look at her designs if you are planning that special day? :)

V-Day 2013

It’s hard to believe that a year has passed since I was introduced to the Vagina Monologues and was part of the cast. I was part of this year’s cast, and it was just as special. A beautiful day. A powerful performance. A bond between all of the women involved. Such support for one another, such connection. Sisterhood and spreading awareness of womens’ status around the world. This year I was a 6 year old girl, along with a part in the introduction, but what was most powerful to me was the part I was given at the very end, along with 2 other selected women. I AM RISING BECAUSE…we were each asked to share a reason of why we were rising for women. When my turn came, I spoke these words from my heart:

“I am rising because my reproductive rights should not be controlled by politicians.”

I’ll leave you with that last sentence.
