Every time I go back to my instincts – my trends-be-damned personal style, my very public political beliefs, my gender-bending accessories and even my tendency to fall for “men’s dr...
You may have heard, just a couple of weeks ago, that Lindsay and I are battling to the death to see whose shape is better. …Oh, wait. That’s not true. Firstly, Lindsay and I are sort of t...
Recently, a few of my friends have made some passing negative comments about their bodies. Usually, I challenge their negativity, they remember I’m not the shame-you-for-everything media, and w...
Until its latest issue, I’d never heard of S Magazine. A few days ago, however, Lindsay alerted me to a photoshoot by Rafael Stahelin, featured in S Magazine’s latest issue, that presses ...
The ever-rising world of self-love and body-acceptance is a roller-coaster of emotions for me. I know, what sense does that make, given that I’m technically a “body image blogger?” ...
Sometimes it’s best to get back to the basics. The Demoiselles is founded upon the idea that every body – our real bodies, without cosmetic enhancements and Photoshop – is beautiful...

“First they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade uni...
I love it when science proves that what modern society often thinks of as “freaky” has really been normal all along. From PBS.org: “On nearly every continent, and for all of recorde...
Every week, I make a specific point to look up one of my ex-boyfriends on Facebook. It’s a ritual. I’m not sure if it’s masochistic, or some other form of Livinginthepast-itis that ...
Lindsay often makes fun of me. Yes, it’s true. She’s horribly mean. I kid, of course. Lindsay does poke fun sometimes – about as much as I poke fun at myself – and often the s...

In the past month, one half of The Demoiselles turned twenty-six, the other twenty-eight. I think this is the part where I’m supposed to make some age-related quip – something about being...
Memorial Day weekend has begun (or, if you’re already on vacation, you may not see this until it’s come and gone) and rather than gallivanting about Folklife with Lindsay and celebrating ...
We’ve been aware of the influx of shaping, toning, butt-fixing shoes for months now. Personally, we find it vindicating and liberating to switch channels during the ridiculous commercials and, ...
Amazing alliteration aside (wow, I’m on fire), we’re proud to announce that The Demoiselles have a presence on Tumblr! Not only are we in love with the massive photo inspiration, beauty, ...
I didn’t vote for Meghan McCain‘s dad, John, and rarely paid attention to her blogs and articles on The Daily Beast. In fact, I know little to nothing about Meghan McCain… except th...
Recently, a video came across my internet browser which piqued my interest. It addressed issues on college campuses, and seemed to have a pretty solid assertion that the sexual indecency contained wi...

This is a collection of brilliant posts collected by The Demoiselles over the week. Some may have been featured on our Twitter, some may have been sent to use through email, or by our friends on Face...
I watched eagerly as I sat outside my family’s home near the San Juan islands this weekend as my boyfriend’s eyes were glued to the cellphone I held out in front of him. His mouth was aga...
I used to say I Love my Curves…. but now I love my cells. Powerful, tiny impulses Little explosions like science dancing with my soul. I have never known before that I could love myself s...
I feel like there could be an entire, separate blog devoted to picking off companies, one by one, as they terminate their ethics in favor of a higher profit margin. It happens every day, greedy mucki...
Hey, Vampire Barbie – Don’t Showcha Your Chocha. Just kidding. This isn’t Vampire Barbie. This is Draculaura, the vegan? fashionista, and one of the birds in Mattel’s new part...
