VOTE!

i've been working on several garments for RHEA BELLE and REBEL COO as well as a few "writings" to post here so i've been a wee bit busy and productively distracted. But in the meantime, before i unveil all of that, i want to encourage you to get over to SK*RT and vote for Rebel1in8 by clicking "love it". the amazing force known as pussyg/the cat lady has posted a shining introduction to Rebel1in8.

my campaign for your vote isn't about capital gain but a strong desire to spread the power of information, integrity and social observation. i think if i had to sum up the backbone for Rebel1in8 those three things would definitely be in there.

the following quote is from a powerful comment left on my RHEA BELLE clothing set by Soft Serve Girl:

"I am moved beyond belief. As a cancer survivor myself, and a woman who has had reconstruction, the thought of NOT reconstructed never entered my consideration as the doctor's didn't even talk about it as an option! I feel betrayed to an extent that the male surgeon didn't tell me it was OK to go with one breast. Not that I shouldn't have known it for myself, but when you have 10 days between diagnosis and surgery, that's a lot of crap to deal with because all you are thinking about is SURVIVAL. Would I do it differently? I don't know...perhaps my path was to be a spirit whose chest was reconstructed as an example, for we are all examples of survivorship with our without our breasts. Either way we all have scars, and those scars speak a multitudes of languages. Bless you and your cool designs!!!"

I voted! That BlogHer post was the one that introduced me to you, Rebel. Love that PussyG, too.
