ONE OF MY FAVORITE comediennes of all time, Sarah Haskins, sheds some light on the advertising industry’s obsession with your lady friends, in this rerun episode of “Target Women.” Classic.

Ah, Lady Friends
Anastasia Smith: 24, sisterless and searching.
THIS GUSTAV KLIMT painting has always spoken to me.

Welcome to Our New Blog Network
First time here? Here's the idea: The Sister Project is a network of blogs about the many facets of the word sister, and the concept of sisterhood. A sisterhood of sister blogs, you could say. Whatever sister means to you, from identical twin to sister-in-law (or in friendship or in feminism), we’ll make room to listen in about it or express it on TSP. Like the slogan up top on our homepage says, “Don’t you have something to say to your sister?” We've got galleries of art and literature by and about sisters, and a Sisterpedia of sisterly trivia...but now we're getting ahead of ourselves. The quick study: Learn more about TSP, and how to find your way around. And oh—a giant, sisterly welcome.

“Sarah Haskins: Woman.” That fake laugh is pretty excellent.
I didn’t know about the wonderful Sarah Haskins. Thank you for introducing her and THANK YOU for revealing the demeaning portrayal and oppression of women via marketing. The saddest part is that many many women will watch such farcical imitations and not realize what is offensive about the ads. And there is so much more offensiveness in these ads than even brought out by Sarah. This all brings me back to my greatest crusade – the power we have as consumers. As consumes we can bring an entire greedy, human rights violating, polluting corporation to its knees. At the same time, support those companies which promote sustainability, human dignity and peace.
