Free To Be Me

Today is a national holiday here, Independence Day. Common themes celebrated, among hot dogs and fireworks are notions of freedom... but what does that freedom mean if not free to be one's self? This week we have a great array of posts that reflect the freedom to be as you are, whether it be wearing a crop top in your 40's, dissecting the shoes of women's rights hero Wendy Davis, or discussing the oft not discussed issue of the rise in plastic surgery for men. Of course we also have all the goodies you'd expect from a fashion roundup, so relax today and read these links!
