A Letter From the Editor

If you want to know how to bag a man, or what celebrities are wearing, you are in the wrong place. This is the blog of Andrea, Megan, Karen, Lisa and Amy. We will vent, complain, and write useful information for real women.

To be honest, we like clothes, men and fashion. We also value education, work and money. We like homemaking, cooking and crafts. We are real women.

As the oldest, and most outspoken, I will make the assignments.

Andrea-Editor-in-chief
Megan-Reporter
Karen-Recreational advisor
Amy-Home designer
Lisa-Fashion

Thanks for reading!

Andrea

Let me just say that I, Lisa, do not like homemaking, cooking, or crafting that much and cannot do anything domestic rather well, so all of you women out there who are domestically challenged are not alone...

Andrea said...

Please Lisa. You like crafting. I even think you like cooking. Did Karen send you some kind of way to sign in as someone else so it doesn't look like we're all the same person?

I promise, I'll go to bed after this :) So I was reading the mission statement, and I must say that I disagree with a few parts, just like how Lisa disagreed with some.

If you like fashion, then you do obsess about clothes, to an extent. Lisa, our Fashion rep, definitely understands this. I'm sure each of us (AMKLA) can name one item of clothing/accesory that we would love to obsessively own. For me, it'd be purses and handbags.

And for the "we do not obsess about men" part, let's be frank: every woman does! More so when you're single (shoutout to my fellow single ladies), so I don't want people assuming we never do. You don't have to obsess about men when you're married, but you do have to constantly nurture your relationship with your husband. And if you're obsessive in a good way, it probably helps, I assume.

Now, the part about body issues: again, we all have things we do and do not like about our bodies. Bringing the views of a man into the picture doesn't sit well with me. I'm definitely not ambiguous about the fact that guys have complimented me on and like my breasts. I'm glad they do, and it makes me feel womanly and beautiful.

Despite my tearing apart of the mission statement, I see what you were trying to say by each of this statements. Therefore, I'd like to amend it as follows:

"This is the blog of 5 friends. We work, we are educated, we are strong. We possess and own our inner beauty. We are passionate about life and don't care if our viewpoint challenges the status quo. We think for ourselves and value education and family. We wear our clothes more than once, and believe our bodies are beautiful. Our names are Andrea, Megan, Karen, Lisa and Amy. And we are real women.
