The first day of the 2009 Unique Los Angeles holiday show was a great success! It was a blast spreading Sticker Sisters goodies, running into people and being inspired by talented designers, artists and indie businesses.

If you're anywhere near downtown Los Angeles, come on down tomorrow (Sunday, December 6th) for day two. We'll be there from 11am-6pm over by the photo booth. Check out all the details about the event at the Unique Los Angeles site.

So a lot of people give LA a bad rap, but it continues to amaze me.


The Talented Sticker Kitty

 | 2 Comments | No TrackBacks
So this doesn't really have to do with Sticker Sisters. Although my kitty does seem to think he's part of the Sticker Sisters fulfillment team. His favorite tasks include sitting in boxes I'm packing up and chasing the ribbon when I'm wrapping gift packs. Definitely not the most helpful worker!

But he's a clever little one and I couldn't help sharing a video of him showing off one of his tricks.

Feminism Runs in My Family shirts

The latest Sticker Sisters' t-shirt is for the whole family! It says Feminism Runs in My Family in a heart-shaped design. We've got sizes for all ages from babies to kids to adults. And as always the shirts are made without sweatshops or sexism in the U.S.

Here's a picture of me, my mom, and my grandma. Three generations of feminists!

This little girl dancing in her seat wearing a Girls Rock shirt is too much! So cute. Thanks Kate for giving her the shirt and sharing the video with me. If you have pictures or video of Sticker Sisters goodies in action, I'd love to post them! E-mail them to info (at) stickersisters.com.

Welcome to the new & improved Diary of a Sticker Sister. I've been tinkering behind the scenes for months, but here it finally is!

And now without anymore putt-putting, I'm going to get back to writing...

Win a Girls Rock Shirt for a Rockin' Mama

 | No Comments | No TrackBacks

A lot of you have heard me talk about how how supportive and influential my mom and grandma have been in my feminism, activism and specifically in Sticker Sisters. Some of you have even had the chance to see them in action at our yearly family reunion at the NOW conference.

In honor of Mother's Day, I want to hear about an amazing mama you know (or two or three).

Post in the comments about them and then on Mother's Day I'll pick a winner at random. The winner will receive a Girls Rock t-shirt for themselves or the mother of their choice. Please make sure there's some way I can identify or contact you in your comment.

Check out this rockin' family who got so many smiles and comments when they wore their Girls Rock shirts out all together.

Street Activism

 | No Comments | No TrackBacks
I love to hear (and see!) how you're using your stickers.

This Insults Women on a sexist poster Lauren in Seattle just sent some photos showing off how she used her This Insults Women stickers for some awesome street activism.

She's going to get free stickers and you can too! Send me your stories, pictures and ideas. I'll post them in my street activism gallery and give you 10 free stickers.

Women's (Sporty) History Month

 | 3 Comments | No TrackBacks
So ESPN jumped on the Women's History Month bandwagon. But I have to say I learned a few things.

Did you know that girls used to play six-on-six basketball, which had different rules than the game we know today? They played this version because a full court, five-on-five game was considered "too aggressive... inappropriate and too physically demanding" for girls. Unbelievable that some small towns played this unequal game until the 1990s!

Barbie Turns 50

 | 1 Comment | No TrackBacks
I've been reading and hearing a ton about Barbie's 50th birthday today. It's got me thinking about the complicated relationship I've had with this silly doll.

When I was six years old I somehow come to have my aunt's 1960s Midge doll, but otherwise my parents were anti-Barbie. All Midge came with was a striped bathing suit. There were no elaborate outfits to put her in, no car, no dream house. A friend took pity on my situation and gave me some of her rejects. She had chopped off their hair and painted their faces with red nail polish, but I was delighted nonetheless!

As I got older I started to despise Barbie with all her gowns, unrealistic proportions and "Math class is tough" comments. I hung a Body Shop poster with an image of a more realistically proportioned Barbie-esque doll in my room.
 

Finding Ethically Made Shirts Pt 2

 | No Comments | No TrackBacks
When I first wrote about finding ethically made t-shirts in September 2006, I thought I'd find a good company or two and be done with it. Not exactly. This had turned into a constant quest as companies go out of business, quality declines and/or products are discontinued.

But I've continued my quest to only use ethically made shirts because as I said before:

"It was really important for me to find cool shirts that were made ethically. I hate really thick, boxy shirts. And I didn't want to buy from a company in a distant country that barely pays its workers. Of course I couldn't even consider American Apparel. How could I print "Girls Rock" on a t-shirt that was made by a sexist company?"
Anyway I wanted to share what I've learned and want you to understand what's behind the t-shirts you order from Sticker Sisters. I'm also pleased to announce that all our t-shirt are now being printed at a local woman-owned print shop!

Teen Sexual Harrassment at Work

 | No Comments | No TrackBacks
I just finished watching a story on PBS' Now about young women being sexually harassed and even assaulted at their part time jobs. The story starts out a little sensational, but the topic is important so I kept watching.

Anyway I'm glad to hear that this issue is getting investigated more and that some young women are sharing their experiences. I can definitely understand feeling embarrassed, afraid and not having experience with what is and isn't acceptable in a work environment.

In one of my first jobs in college, I had an experience with a guy saying some inappropriate things to me and making me feel uncomfortable. Late one night he cornered me when no one was nearby and started saying some inappropriate things. It was fairly mild, but he had a more superior position than me and it felt intimidating because we were alone in this dark parking lot.

Will it be the Cadillac Escalade that three-year-olds can learn to gas guzzle with? Or the Barbie Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader doll that's oozing gender stereotypes?

Check out the other contestants and vote for Campaign for a Commerical-Free Childhood's award for worst toy of the year.
