Ann’s Fashion Tarot, Crimson Edition: Strength.

The Strength card says you better learn how to braid and I mean now.

You are dang right we named our offices. Art jobs don’t pay much so I try to come up with benefits in the form of creative expression and decision-making and absolute reigns of power, wherever possible.

I named mine The Box because a while back my colleagues and I came up with this thing called Box-Based Leadership. It’s how we were doing everything anyway, so I thought it would be good and also really funny to name it, to put it in writing. Box-Based Leadership has three tenets:

  1. Know your capacity.
  2. Strategic pursuit of pleasure.
  3. Respect the cycles.

I am vaguely aware that “box” was a term for ladyparts. Tried to research that but I lost interest after about fifteen seconds because I don’t really care whether it’s vulgar. I am very much in love with my own etiology here, with the idea of Box-Based Leadership replacing the notion of “thinking outside the box.” Like, #backinthebox. Like, as a phrase people lob at each other in professional settings. What if we encouraged each other to think with our actual boxes. Our actual female feminine plumbing, cycles, imperatives, capacities.
