I'm Turning into a Hag, and I'm Loving It
I am not a young woman anymore. There. I said it. I’m starting to get wrinkles around my eyes, I get the odd gray hair every now and then, and my boobs just aren’t the same anymore. And I have a stiff black hair growing out of my chin that returns no matter how diligent I am about plucking it. The fact is, I’m not an old woman, but I’m getting there. Quickly. Whether I like it or not.

Finding Strength in the Sparkliest of Places
The lights quickly dimmed. Our glamourous drag queen host strutted through the center aisle "You know I could talk about myself all night, but I think you came here for a different kind of reveal!?" The theater filled with cheers along with mine; 23 years old, and pretty tipsy for both my Bachelorette party and my first burlesque show. I raised my glass to my best friend next to me, neither of us wise to what a wild journey this show would lead to.

However, there have also been many, perhaps more subtle changes, in the ways we interact socially with one another.

The Unique and Beautiful Style of the Victorian Women
I, myself would be pleased to see the styles of the Victorian era to return. There are many aspects of this era which appeal to me, beyond their appearance. They had certain ideals and morals which influenced their unique style. I feel these are important attributes and unfortunately, were lost as the years progressed. The Victorians were, indeed, ahead of their time.
