{FFF} Femme Fatale Favorites: Emily The Strange

It has come to my attention that I have been missing out on some great literary (and some historical) heroines. On my latest trip to the local library, I came across a... strange book on my way to the loans desk: Emily the Strange: Lost Days. I picked it up and leafed through it, and decided to take it out. It is, simply put,  a great read, and I truly wish I had come across this book in my early teens.

From emilythestrange.com:

"Emily the Strange came to life in the early 1990's and quickly became a beloved counterculture icon all around the world. In her earliest years, she was a quiet but sharp-witted stranger, slinging philosophy and cultural observations in a series of hand-screened t-shirts and stickers. As her presence grew and became a standard in the cultural underground, Emily's own story began to emerge in a series of gift books, then comic-books and graphic novels, and now a novel series for young adults.

Today, Emily continues to be a voice for individualism and self-awareness, and her appeal is especially strong among alternative-minded young women and girls who identify with her signature singularity. Her presence in the worlds of art, pop culture, literature, and fashion celebrates non-conformist and reminds us all to cultivate that which makes us unique."

She definitely makes it to the top of the Femme Fatale Favorites!
