Oh my gosh! You're coming to New Zealand? Please will you tell us when??????? I live in Auckland and it would be one of my biggest dreams to meet you!

I am just a bit dissapointed that this project only involves beauty, fashion and lifestyle, in my opinion the MODERN woman should have other main interests, too, such as carreer and how she should be able to find his place in the men dominated world, how to carry forward what the feminists in the past carved out for us, etc. It would be fantastic to involve topics as these, too, because without them we still would look like walking dolls without brain to think with.
