I came across, a very interesting video post by the infamous fashion blogger Tavi Gevinson, and I think my whole perspective about her has completely changed. There’s a general tendency and feeling that fashonistas (generally people in the fashion industry) are a bunch of superficial shallow and snotty human beings. Well to some extent I think that is true (I am yet to know why), but lisening to Tavi, made me smile, and made me rethink a bit about my opinion of her.
Still figuring it out; - a talk given at a Tedx Teen seminar (TEDx an NGO devoted to creating forums of sharing great ideas), was addressed mainly to teenage girls, but I think her talk is relevant to today’s woman. Exploring the idea of who and what a strong female character is today, I liked the way she laid her idea on the table.
A strong female character is not what you see in magazines or movies. The key to a strong female character is flaws. And the key to being one is being the proverbs 31 woman.
I don't want to spoil the the story, but will let you watch listen to the video, and we can pick each others brains on who we think this character is.
