Axis of Eve

Genesis (1:1) In the beginning there were two spare ribs: Tasha and Zazel. The idea for protest panties came to Zazel in a revelatory flash in the midst of a dark January mood of dwelling on the dire national and international political situation. She had been searching for ways to combine activism and creativity, and knew the value of humor as a form of sustenance in bleak times. She found her spirits lifted at the thought of wearing panties that poked bold accusatory fun at the Bush administration. She and her childhood friend, Tasha, began to brainstorm for slogans in an effort to further lift their spirits... Once the panty-project got rolling, it was hard to stop. With the addition of Apple and Eden to the founding core, the ingredients for a potent political stew were on the kitchen table: the Axis of Eve was born...

Given today’s media-saturated climate, we think it is important to find new ways to spark political expressions and acts, especially among women and young people—two demographic groups whose vote will be critical in the upcoming election. We Eves view activism as a continuum, and along that continuum we see the AXIS of EVE making politics fun, sassy and appealing. posted by Cyndy | link | | |
