You don't have to signal a social conscience by looking like a frump. Lace knickers won't hasten the holocaust, you can ban the bomb in a feather boa just as well as without, and a mild interest in the length of hemlines doesn't necessarily disqualify you from reading Das Kapital and agreeing with every word. --Elizabeth Bibesco

New Blog Title!

So I've been looking for something moderately creative for my blog title since Lent was over, but I hadn't been able to find anything... until now!

I found this quote looking for sayings and such to put on a sign for SlutWalk.

You don't have to signal a social conscience by looking like a frump. Lace knickers won't hasten the holocaust, you can ban the bomb in a feather boa just as well as without, and a mild interest in the length of hemlines doesn't necessarily disqualify you from reading Das Kapital and agreeing with every word. --Elizabeth Bibesco 

I picked it because it made me laugh-- so many of our political movements now as then (Bibesco lived from 1897-1945) think our clothes are emblematic of our political beliefs... and they can be, but they don't have to be. Plus, my exploration of this whole modesty thing feels like "a mild interest in the length of hemlines."

I think it's a fabulous discriptor.

Anyway, it's still the same URL (tzniutforlent.blogspot.com), just a different title. Hope you enjoy!
