    FEMME 9

    I picked up a can of spray paint in 96 to show the guys in town here, who doubted me that a woman could actually do it too, and I proved 'em wrong. I haven't put the can down since. Even 9 years later I still have people look at me like a retarded charity case when they find out I paint the graffiti, simply because I'm a girl, you know... afraid to go out after dark, frail, timid, not to get dirty... It seems we will always be looked at this way, or at least longer than I would prefer, so I'm here to show them we can do it! Time to drop the stereotypes! I love showing ladies we can break the rules and be an exception.
