But sadly it looks like Emily might of spent all her money on Burma Shave and anti-itch cream because her server has gone down at www.siliconsalley.com. May be her email too.
Here she is having an "Indigo Girls" moment:
In "B. Steisand" fashion she sent her article to 2,500 of her closest friends. Here is an article I found about her and fuzy wuzy:
Hofstetter, whose site focuses on women working in the Internet industry, conceived of the protest in her own shower,as she mused upon the recent election shenanigans. As her e-mail -- which she sent to about 2,500 people -- explains:"There in the shower I began softly chanting 'no more bush, no more bush, no more bush' over and over again until I was in a mantra/trance-like state. I reached for the Lady Schick, a slick bar of handmade soap, and before I knew it, there was no more bush. Completely shaven, I stood in the shower laughing. I laughed until I cried and then it hit me: Women are probably going to be the most affected by this recent faux-lection. Why then don't we do something that will at least show our disapproval for the recent decision. The way I see it: ONE CLOSE SHAVE DESERVES ANOTHER!"
In response to the thin margin that decided the recent presidential election, Hofstetter exhorts other women to follow her lead -- to shave themselves as an act of protest and "save the clippings, bag them and send them to our clown prince president for his inauguration. Better still, let's all go to the inauguration and throw the 'bush clippings' at our new president like confetti at a ticker tape parade!"
Does Hofstetter really expect throngs of disgruntled women to shave it off? Well, not exactly. As her e-mail has been forwarded around the Net, most of the reactions she's received have been "right ons" from both men and women. Still, she hopes to inspire others to take their own forms of action: "I was hoping that it would mean a lot of things to other people. This is protest in its most simple and most naked form," she said.
Hofstetter will be traveling to Washington for the inauguration and vows, "I am prepared to stay completely shaved for four years. You think that Bush is the name of our president? I say that Bush is something that I have between my legs and I can get rid of it if I want to."
