After all, life is short, and there’s a great big world to explore out there.

But it did make me really creative. Those days, I was literally taking t-shirts in the day and sewing them back together to make dresses for the night.

My favorite thing about growing up in Arkansas – well, not favorite but something I’ve always felt grateful for – was that I really had to dig for what I could. There was no Internet. There wasn’t tons of feminist literature floating around.
