For Those Participating [You know who you are]...

The first rule of joint blogging is...

YOU DO NOT TALK ABOUT JOINT BLOGGING.

Overdone reference aside, what I mean to say is that this is my [Ducky's] personal blog that I don't ever use [the other blogs besides this one. They're pretty much dead inside], but I allowed you girls to have access to it because I love you and trust you. You are the special ones. BUT, if you.

-Delete anything not related to Real Girls
-Mess with my profile info
-Delete my account
-Give out the account information to anyone else
-Or abuse these privileges in any way


I will change the password and cut you out from the project.

Honestly, I don't think any of you will do that, but I wanted to cover it before we moved on to how this is going to work.

HOW THIS IS GOING TO WORK!

-You may post an entry at any time, when the mood strikes.
---Entries should be about YOU! They should pertain to something you did or wore or want to rant about, whatever, as long as it came from your brain or your experiences.
---Entries pertaining to runway shows, celebrity gossip, and that sort of thing is best suited to our own private blogs or whereever. If you happened to be at that show or saw that celebrity PLEASE DO BE BLOGGING THAT STRAIGHT AWAY. You get the idea.

-You may not mess with another person's entry, especially if it is in drafts.

-If you would like to do a joint entry, go for it.

All I ask is that you include your name or nickname or however many apply to the top of each post. Except for general posts like this, it's good to let the reader know who's talking.

It could be cool if we had our own special posts, like a once a week thing that we all attempted to do. Like, someone could have What People Are Wearing At School...or any less lame idea. Or movie reviews.

I suppose in a way this blog is more like a school newspaper/diary than a real blog.

It's through this respect and communication and whatnot that it will work. IT WILL WORK!


And the second rule of Joint Blogging is.

YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT JOINT BLOGGING.

I mean it.

I love you all.
If you have questions, you know where to find me.

About Us

//Why we're here.

We're sick. We're sick of the general fashion blogging community. We're sick of the self indulgent so-called indie style army of lookbook.nu. We're sick of it discriminating with their code invite system. We're sick of tumblr reblogging of waify skinny white girls backs and necks, lounging around in some Virgin Suicide scene wannabe reenactment. We're sick of all these pictures looking the same, looking unreal, coming from no where. We're sick of these girls because they don't exist. Because we've never met someone who has enough money to go to fashion design college and afford Mui Mui shoes at the same time. We're sick of their trust funds. We're sick of all the free time they have to do it, their internet fame just because they can buy a really nice camera. We're sick of them having no real hobby. We're sick of hair in front of the face. We're so goddamn fucking sick of the hipstershit plague. We're here to show you what real girls do.

//Who are we?

We're girls. We're between the ages of 13 and twenty something. We're all kinds of shapes and sizes, races, species, ethnicities. We from all different financial backgrounds. Some of us don't have jobs. Some of us are dealing with school. We all dress differently. We have shaved hair, short hair, braided hair, stringy hair, wavy curly thick gnarly hair. We play video games and burp and sing and have other talents than just putting on a cute outfit and slumping in front of a camera. We're not always that certain kind of pretty. We take weird photographs. We prefer candid shots with bad lighting. We live in suburbia where the most high end store is Lucky Jeans. We live in the country where the most high end store is Target, a couple hours out of town. We're cool or we're not or cool for being not but none of that matters. The point is, we are real girls and we do actual shit.

//Okay, so we're actually...
