If you couldn’t make it, but have a desire to weed through this transcript, be my guest. There were some very cool kids on this chat! I am the one they refer to as Fab Female, aka FF!
eFAB FEMALE said: I’m ff for April – but April ends tomorrow! I plan on staying fab after that, well into May.
ZOEY said: o haha, good idea
ZOEY said: so FF why dont tell everyone about yourself?
FAB FEMALE said: Okay. My name is Katie Davis (as you know, and since I’m a grownup, I get to say my name!)
