Blog Crush of the Week: AWKWARD Is Awesome

Awkward is Awesome

Erin used to wear a rabbit's foot around her neck. Sammy had braces for three years. The two cofounders of AWKWARD Is Awesome are both awkward and awesome, and we can't get enough of their mixed-bag blog.

AWKWARD Is Awesome is the fabulous duo's "experiment for 20-something women" who agree that perfection is boring. Their confessional blog entries soothe our quarter-life-crisis souls, and we're pretty sure they're stalking us, because Erin and Sammy's quotable exchanges seem to always mirror our own:

Awkward is Awesome

The ladies also weigh in on topics like drinking and feminism, embracing your imperfections, and breaking your dating dry spell (or as Sammy calls them, "my I literally-haven’t-had-sex-in-over-a-year-therefore-I-am-a-born-again-virgin days").

Erin and Sammy might be AWKWARD ... but we think they're pretty awesome.

Stop by AWKWARD Is Awesome and say hello to Sammy on Twitter!

Abigail Pesta is a journalist who has lived and worked around the world, from London to Hong Kong. A highlight from her travels: bar-hopping in Shanghai with a minor-league Mafioso in his hearse-like limo. A lowlight: getting attacked in Cambodia by swarms of flying cockroaches, each one the size of your thumb. She writes short-short stories for her website, Fine Words Butter No Parsnips (butternoparsnips.com)

Lauren is the articles editor at Marie Claire. She loves to obsess over politics, play soccer, and watch movies, not necessarily in that order. She can't imagine any human interaction that wouldn't be improved with a line from The Simpsons or Rushmore. She saved Latin - what did you ever do?

Jessica

As Associate editor of the Radar section, I obsess daily over movies, television, celebrities and music. A southern girl at heart and Brooklyn by address, my skill set also extends into witty asides, vintage shopping, planning themed parties, brunching, entertaining, applying eyeliner, dancing, concocting bourbon mint iced tea, gift giving, movie quoting, coffee drinking and Elvis spotting. I love conversations that begin with "remember the time...", am still paying off my student loans (and then some), and have fallen madly in love - with my DVR.
