Who is Michelle?
A Feminine Filter on a Rapidly Developing Modern Identity: whip smart, incredibly well informed, graceful, compassionate, relentlessly chic, politically aware and super-duper positive …
… Dear beloved Internet, we are gathered here today to lock arms, open our eyes and try to say something thoughtful. Let’s get started, shall we?
I am sure that you can guess the creative inspiration for our new online magazine and political blog called Michelle Magazine. At first, I pondered calling it Michelle O. Magazine, but then thought better about it, just leaving it be.
Michelle Magazine’s regular readers will, no doubt, be a self-selecting lot. Let’s see, we are probably a mini-tyranny of do-gooders, activists, idealists, pragmatists, combined with high IQ-types, and cosmopolitan fashionistas with a flair for charity balls and fundraisers. I also think there will be mothers of one, two and three etc… politicians, professors, business gurus and students. If you care about the world around you, I think you will enjoy a daily visit. And, suffice it to say, Michelle Magazine will never ever talk down to you. And if you ever think we do, let us know and we will do something about it.
Let’s face it, with all of the silliness, negativity, gossip and mindless vapor targeted at women on the Internet, it is a breath of fresh air to find a female-focused, online magazine that looks at the world through both a political lens and a feminine filter. Ultimately, I think women look at politics very differently from men, and certainly, as has been proven out this election year, quite differently from each other.
In a time of such political excitement, a time of change, a time of hope, and one of the most monumental presidential election years in our history, we are forever changed, forever energized. Now what?
Where will we take our unbridled enthusiasm when this race is over? How will we break these habits of chatting endlessly about issues we thought would never intrigue us? Can we maintain our motivation to stay informed? Engaged? I think so. No. I know so.
