Last night I went to dinner with an incredible woman named Sharon Love. She's one of those incredible women who runs a huge company in New York and looks young enough to be my sister, not to mention she has great style. The kind of woman you look at and say, one day I hope to be like her.

I met Sharon on a flight form Los Angeles to New York when I was flying out to visit my best friend for her birthday. I had noticed her incredible style before we boarded the plane and sure enough, my seat was right next to her. It took three whole minutes before we started talking and almost immediately, we were yapping like best friends who hadn't see each other in months. I felt like a sponge soaking up all the wisdom this woman had to offer. Needless to say, she is also on the board of this incredible non-profit called the Billie Jean King (former tennis player) and she invited me to attend their Los Angeles fundraiser.

Long story short, she flew into LA early and I went to have dinner with her the night before the banquet and there were two lovely gentleman. Of course these three people were a good twenty years older than me, but with age comes wisdom and I'm always excited to talk with people who have so much life advice.

Anyhow, the cool thing and the point of today's entry was that our mission for making a difference in the world for women especially needs the help of men; good men for that matter! In the past, our sisters who fought for the right to vote HAD to be hard core, thick skinned, chicks who could stand up to true prejudices. In today's world, we don't have to fight that same battle, thanks to those brave women. BUT� our fight is not over ladies.

There's a NEW feminism rolling in and it's not bra burning, man hating, scary, angry women. It's intelligent, confident, hot mamas who will no longer apologize for accepting and loving their femininity. And the only way we can really create some awesome change for girls is getting guys on board!

We can certainly ignore the obnoxious, jerky guys (of course) but like the two men at dinner; guys who are on the SAME team as us and men who revere women, we need more of them in our lives to support us!

Our generation hasn't really known the concept of standing up for something we believe in like the women who fought for equal rights, or African Americans who demanded equality� and I can only imagine what it would feel like to STAND for something. I want to do the same, to feel like my life was worth something and to know that I made a difference in this world.

I'm all about redefining the concept of "beauty," for us to gain back our sisterhood and to demand respect! Let's do it together, but lets do it with our brothers too!
