Come visit the Sticker Sisters booth at the Los Angeles Bust Craftacular on December 12th.
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2009
10:00 AM - 6:00 PM, $2
The Echo & The Echoplex
1822 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles
There'll be over 50 vendors, food (the grilled cheese truck!), raffle prizes, DJs and more! Make sure to bring a can or two for the L.A. Regional Food Bank too. And the first 250 attendees get a super cool goodie bag with a Sticker Sisters treat inside!
]]>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.
Speaking of running into friends and being inspired...
It's always great seeing my friend Wendy who runs I Heart Guts at shows. Check out The Good Ol' Menstrual Cycle poster and all the cute plush guts.
I also ran into my friend Melanie who I haven't seen in more than five years. It was fun to find out she's now making kids rock 'n roll clothes with her company Skullasstic Ink.
Across the aisle from the Sticker Sisters booth is janie xy who makes the cutest handmade plush food and creatures. She turned her booth into a little market stand complete with an awning!
The most amazing thing is that she's only been doing it for a couple months! Her handmade plush eggplant made me nostalgic for a stuffed eggplant toy I had when I was little. It seems strange to have had a stuffed eggplant toy as a kid, but I loved carting it around and I kind of want to pass along the tradition to another kid. Hey, it sure beats carting around a Bratz doll!
Okay, I've gotta rest up for another big day tomorrow. If you're in LA, come on by. If not, get out to an event in your area and support awesome, local small businesses and artists!

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!

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.
]]> Mama Cait explained that her older daughter "is shy so it's really a statement for her, which is very cool. It's good to see girl power things especially for young girls."If you know a girl who needs a little encouragement or a rockin' mama, pick up an empowering shirt for them. Or better yet--get shirts for your whole crew!
Let's share stories and celebrate all the great mamas we know!

Lauren in Seattle just sent some photos showing off how she used her This Insults Women stickers for some awesome street activism.
Here's what Lauren had to say:
"I just wanted to show what your stickers have spawned in terms of some feminist activism in Seattle. There is a big group of guys and gals who, after seeing all the stickers I was posting up, tracked me down and joined up in the stickering/postering fun. We've been trying to take pictures of what we do to encourage others to join in too."
"Barbie's done a lot in her life. She's held many careers, married Ken, left Ken, got back together and even struggled her way through math class. She even beat a popular rival into oblivion."You absolutely must read Sarah Haskins' really funny piece Barbie's Little Secret. I won't give away all the funny stuff (c'mon what did you really do with your Barbies?!). But Sarah Haskins sums up the complicated relationship that a lot of feminists seem to have with Barbie:

"After all, in her own strange way, she was a pioneer -- a trailblazing figure in branding, a woman whose every tiny wobbly step paved the way for the questionable role models that perplex and concern parents today, be they Bratz or Disney Princesses."
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!
"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?"

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?
