Réflexions sur la transparence…
“… Plus généralement, m’influencent les gens qui se donnent à voir avec sincérité, dans leur complexité. Je déteste les vitrines où certain-e-s s’exposent comme des poupées de collection intouchables dans leur perfection d’objets à regarder (“Comme ma vie est jolie, n’est-ce pas?). Comme Kozlika, j’aime ”les gens qui doutent” qui me font douter ou qui… Continue reading Réflexions sur la transparence…

A really interesting article on feminism and femininity in the NYT, Girls Will Be Girls.

Le blogue, pas seulement un outil de marketing!
De retour de déjeuner avec Nadia aux yeux brillants, avec des idées pleins la tête. Un de nos sujets de discussion m’a laissée sur ma faim: le fait que trop de gens croient que le blogue est principalement, voir seulement, un outil de marketing. Nous étions toutes deux d’avis que les gens qui prônent et… Continue reading Le blogue, pas seulement un outil de marketing!
