Dresses


I love this blog and I don't care how shallow that makes me. But I was just talking last night w/ a friend about the importance of women-owned businesses in the Third World. And, in today's post, the Dress Lady notes, "The dresses are produced in Zanzibar, and, in addition, 100 kroner (About US$15) from the sale of each dress goes directly to the women's cooperative on Zanzibar; they are using it to build a store to sell children's clothing to the tourists who visit there." So I'm shallow. Sue me.

Not shallow - smart.

Nothing shallow about enjoying beauty -- whether its a nice dress or a nice sunset.

Besides -- that cooperative in Zanzibar is doing good things. What's shallow about that?
