This post is about the dichotomy still faced by women of being tough and feminine at the same time. Can a female body builder wear pink? Can a tough girl wear a tiara? Yes, of course.

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of speaking with the CEO, Margo Schlossbergof Warrior Princess
Clothing Co. (WPCC). The WPCC is a new brand on the scene making amazing strides in the fitness
arena. I am sure that by now all of my readers know that pink is my favorite color and that’s one of
the key componentsthat stuck out to me with one of their signature shirts, known as their pink and
green tiara moon cut tee. I have never really beena fan of the cut shirts perhaps because all of the
ones that I have seen have all lookeda mess but to my surprise when the CEO sent me one to try I
instantly fellin love. My ToughGirl In A TiaraMoon Cut Tee was a perfect fit and since the weather
was perfect why not practice my yogaon my deck or evenin the park and show the world my
toughness!

getting in a few yogaposes on such a beautiful day. My shirt of course playeda major role because I
felt like a strong princessand youall know how much I love dressing up like a princess evenin my
adult life!
Once I wore my shirt I felt a sense of empowerment so I decided to reach out to Margo because I
became curiousas to what made her come up with her brand strategy. I wanted to know what type of
experience had she had that led to her creating such a unique brand. She told me proudly, “WhenI
was a young girl I remember that I lovedto play with bugs and to play princess. My life seems to have
always been full of dichotomy. The barefoot girlwith the disheveledhair picking up crickets, andthe
one who wore her tiara and ran around the house in a pink gauzy dress”.
“I am thrilled to see the rise of female athletes and yet, I still feel that perhaps society is tryingto
digest the woman who like myself, lovesbothfashion and mixedmartial arts. Can we be both tough
and feminine? Yes, of course we can. A tough girl doesnot necessarily need to fight in the ring, but
she needs to be tough in spirit and mind and to believe that she can reach her personal goals no
matter what obstacleslife throws into her race”.
The warrior princessclothing line is about just that. It is about being pretty and strong at the same
time. Whether your strengthcomes fromathletics or elsewhere is unimportant. It is about the
woman who isn’t afraid to move mountains in a pink dress. She is a female Hercules in high heels.
She is the tough girl in a tiara.”
4. I found her message both empowering and inspiring. Although I am the mother of three sons I am
also an aunt to one niece who definitely fits into this world. I want Samaria and every other little girl
to know that she doesn’t have to be afraid of being apart of both worlds because she can be both
athletic and prissy. She’s A ToughGirl In A Tiarajust like her auntie.

Tiara!
