my classic style guide for baby girls

boys' edition is forthcoming!

I’ve never been a “girly girl.” As a kid, I was the only girl on the baseball team. I preferred playing in the creek to prowling Limited Too. If I was born a decade later, and if my parents were gullible fools, which they weren’t, I’m sure someone could have diagnosed me with “gender dysphoria.” A tomboy on the last helicopter out of Vietnam, it seems.
