Meet the Prudes
Charlotte Collins. 28. Marry for security; write for love. “Angels can fly because they can take themselves lightly.” No angel herself, Charlotte encourages those around her to be through her ready wit at their expense.
Effie Shins-Fyve. 23. A medium-sized person currently en route to Pittsburgh, PA. For four years, she wrote a bi-weekly satire column for her college newspaper and never bothered to turn in the $8/article paysheets. Since then, she has been in financial disrepair and continues to accept (and relish) unpaid work. She tends to keep her opinions to herself.
Quinn Ance-Lais. 24. Single and thriving in my soft girl era. Totally ready for the challenges of a full time mama. Can’t wait to put away the stresses of the modern working woman for the peaceful waves of daily duty as a traditional stay at home wife. I mean, thanks, first-wave feminism, for convincing men that what we really wanted was to work.
Rubella Watling. 30. The original prude and our noble Copy Editor. Has two passions—baked goods and the written word. Efforts to combine them have gone sorely amiss; her line of desserts “What Rhymes with Dessert?” was a failure, not least because she does not understand the concept of a rhyme. Undaunted, she is launching “Synonym Sweets” this Fall.
