Selected Weekly Saltiness:  Pride. Period.
 
 

Letter from the Editors: 

Dear Salties,

Everything goes in cycles: the seasons do, trends do, payments do, even we do! From shedding skin to shedding the ol' uterine lining, most every natural thing has cycles to its systems. Our closets have seen their newest cycle from the previous sweater rotation to shorts and tees coming front and center. Our moon is waning to NEW this very weekend, bringing a refreshing restart in the cycle of tides, energies and, well, maybe just sky gazing from your favorite vantage point. This newsletter alone is a cycle, coming every week with new articles, info and links to all things Salted and Scarlet-minded. 

So, why so wheel-brained these days? We here at the henhouse are always keeping aware of how the week is shaping up whilst getting ready to send our round-up your way! This week we have a great spotlight with period empowerment at the helm, our newest staff writer talking about skincare starting from the inside out, a piece on cleaning green, and even an exhibit including a boob bouncehouse and a "G"spot mirror maze. I'd say we are #cycle trending.

And for those celebrating and/or supporting Gay Pride this month, many states are "kicking up their heels" over anniversaries for same-sex marriage equality (Happy 3rd, NYC!). So put a ring on THAT! 

Eat. Drink. & Be Married.

blissfully yours,
Matt & Jennilyn

WTF?

 
   

Tata Top

"You look topless...but you aren’t, and therefore, are not breaking any laws," says the website for this crazy clever TaTa Top. The #FreeTheNipple movement to end shaming of the female breast (especially for public breastfeeding mamas) has gotten a lot of exposure lately. Now you can be topless AND legal. For wearing out to Gay Pride festivities or flaunting your flesh on the beach, we don't even breastfeed and we WANT this!
 
 

Pride Dance Party

Whether you're a traditionalist or a remix radical, there's plenty-o-tunes that scream "Gay Pride" to break it down to this weekend. There are dance tracks, twerk anthems, drum and bass beats and so much more to get people in the spirit of expression, equality, progress and celebration! What's your poison? Maybe something terrible, miss Alaska? But we love you anyway. 

Pretty Won't Add Up

Approximately 66 percent of 4th grade girls say they like science and math, but only 18 percent of all college engineering majors are female, according to the National Science Foundation. We didn't need this Verizon ad to highlight those discouraging statistics, but it also points out the potential harmful disparity in what we say to girls and what they actually hear.

Could it be that the women's rights movement owes a debt of gratitude to the invention of the bicycle? Fashion freedom and transportation independence on two wheels, baby.
