CHERYL STRAYED!

Maybe my favoritest bestest thing ever? On Wednesday, New York Magazine posted author Cheryl Strayed's favorite things. She's one of my favorite people. Serious shout out to Jennifer Moeller, the costume designer for the Public theater's Tiny Beautiful Things who gave Cheryl the shirt. Besos!!

Here is what Cheryl wrote..

"Diana Kane Feminist T-shirt

The costume designer for the play version of Tiny Beautiful Thingsgave this T-shirt to me as a gift, and I fell in love with it because it’s really comfortable, but it’s cool. Every time I wear it, I get a response. Once, I was in the company of several elderly men who were so taken aback, and to have to actually explain the shirt to them was funny. I was out in the woods in New Zealand, and this young kid working in one of the lodges pretty much glommed on to me because you could tell none of the other tourists he encountered really shared his values. We went on safari in Kenya and Tanzania, and some men who were part of older couples in the group felt threatened in this old-fashioned, outdated, always-incorrect assumption that feminists hate men or think they’re all bad. It allowed me the opportunity to gently educate them, and whether they received that lesson, I don’t know, but at least I got to deliver it. It’s always a conversation piece when you wear something that announces your identity. It communicates to some people that you’re safe with me, and to others that they should watch out."

    I love my Feminist shirt, which was a gift. And my adult daughter loved it when she saw it, so I just ordered one for her for Christmas.
