When Laurel Thatcher Ulrich wrote 'Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History', in her study on Puritan funeral services, she had no idea it would take on a life of its' own. Emblazoned upon magnets, t-shirts, and a whole host of feminist tchatchkes, it has become one of my personal favorites. After it's the naughty rebels that make headlines and shake things up. I don't think its worthy of the likes of trainwrecks like Lindsey and Britney...but it is worthy of the well intentioned badass ladies. And since its Women's Day....and Pancake Day, Faschnaut Day, and Mardi Gras.... this one is for all my girls, even those who have earned their beads the honest way...
I am very lucky to be surrounded by amazing women both home and abroad. Ones that have picked me up after a drunk fall, wiped my beer tears, opened their doors, and lost hours of their lives listening to my latest drama at a diner. My ladies are the girls that take down Christmas balls with shots from a BB gun. The girls that boot (in the closest cup) and ralley. The girls that rock langerie and aren't afraid to admit they like a little youporn. The ones that can pull off pearls and the ones that can bark just as loud as they bite. The ladies that out drank the boys, danced on bars, and walked barefoot home through the city. There has been bottle service in a strip club, drunk disney sing alongs, road trips, tailgating and plenty of day drinking.
But they are more than great drinking buddies and excellent wingwomen, they are the most amazing gals I know. They ride, run, and work in hopes of making a difference for charities. They work tirelessly to educate little bastards. They are resilient and able to rebuild when life changes. They create beautiful things from nothing. They somehow find a way to continue to make leaps of faith. They follow dreams across the country and put their dreams on hold when they are needed at home. They turn personal tragedies into a lifetime of helping others. They are funny, smart, independent, compassionate and of course ridiculously good looking! They haven't always been angels but if we are going to make history, we need to be a little naughty!
To all my favorite girls: GAME ON!
