Between our two lives, there is also the life of the cherry blossom. ~BashoApplause to Fast Company!
The June issue features the 100 Most Creative People in Business and it's a delight to read. There's a photo of the gorgeous NeriOxman on the cover. She could be on the cover of any fashion magazine and when you read her accomplishments and interests, it blows you away. Neri, and the company she keeps in this Top 100 list, are the women I would love my 14 year old goddaughter, and her friends, to be looking up to and seeing as role models.
Sure, sure..."Dancing With the Stars" and "The Bachelorette" are a mindless way to spend the night, zoning on the couch. And it seems that every young woman's magazine (Seventeen, Glamour, Allure, etc.) is reworking the same issues they were writing about when I was in high school back in the early 70's.
Maybe these magazine will take a leap forward and introduce really bright, beautiful and accomplished women onto their pages and into their photographs, as aspirations and role models for our young women. It's about time.
