Revisiting and recycling my old dead blog

     For several years, between 2007 and 2013, I maintained a blog called "Nice White Lady" that is sort of the mother of Everything Else. I described it as "a forum for my ruminations on everyday ethical concerns", beginning with thoughts on racial justice and other political topics, and finally shifting to ethical consumption and voluntary simplicity. Eventually, as my professional energies were focused on (finally) finishing my book on the origins of gendered clothing for babies and toddlers, Nice White Lady faded into the background. But I am realizing that there is a lot of good stuff there that still interests me and might interest others, so I am going to go through it and see what can be salvaged and updated. Better to have everything all in one place, perhaps. If you want to see the original, it's here. Warning; I was terrible at tagging back then.

     Personal trivia: the name was inspired by this classic skit from MadTV.
