Chick Talk Dallas started over an argument I had with a former
editor who disagreed with my use of the term ‘bridezilla’. He didn’t
know what it meant and didn’t see a need to include it in a story
about dozens of brides-to-be grabbing dresses, shouting, “I said no
tulle!” and otherwise causing very unladylike mayhem at a local
bridal venue. Not to hate on the men folk but Chick Talk isn’t
limited to the pages of glossy girl mags or the life styles sections
of newspapers. I want to create a place where ordinary (and
extraordinary) women in and around Dallas County (and guests) come
to meet, greet, speak, share, comment, disagree, laugh and do what
women do. It’s a site for women to discuss issues important to us.
Real Women. Real Discussion.
This is the place to share stories, interviews and the life triumphs
of women you should know about. The content and discussion is
generated from the greater Dallas community of women writers and
bloggers and you can participate. Send a
blog item, newstip or story idea, leave a
comment and, hey, buy some merchandise while
you’re at it. Help support us. Spread the word sisters!
