Eagle-eyed readers may notice that part of my logo is the slogan TOO GLAM* TO GIVE A DAMN**.
What does that mean?
While brainstorming potential taglines for the blog (I ultimately decided on the much more grounded and sober finding meaning in the mess), too glam to give a damn came into the mix.
It was love at first sight for two reasons.
First, when I say it to myself, I feel less anxious and more empowered.
Sure, it sounds flippant, but that’s part of the appeal.
The truth is that I give so many damns about things that don’t deserve them. And most days, I don’t feel even a little bit glam.
Saying “too glam to give a damn” out loud somehow releases both of those tensions.
As a bonus, incorporating neon pink lettering and an irreverent phrase into my logo just felt right.
It certainly reflects my rebellious (my sister would say contrarian) streak.
Whenever I manage to look or feel even a little put-together, there is this part of me that just can’t resist saying or doing something a little wild.
Maybe that’s the real reason the phrase stuck: I’ve always bristled at feeling boxed in.
At the end of the day, the mantra too glam to give a damn inspires me to live life with a flourish, and move right on past all the little things that might otherwise bog me down.
* If no make-up, messy bun, mismatched clothes is your idea of glam.
** I can’t stop giving damns to save my life.
