and away we go...

a lot of interaction has been going on...i have been interviewing friends and family of both girls and getting a lot of insight into their lives. i have been using their myspace pages and email to keep conversations going when we can't get together...ashley has even started a blog to talk about how she spends her days since she can't use myspace at work. jessy has been opening up...i had a great weekend with them both. i think i may try to focus on image...not just body image but their image of themselves...the cool girl, the gangster chick, the hot chick, the nerd, the emo...who knows how hey see each other? I think i can find out if i look deep enough...

bravo! great idea--image, and have them comment on each other if you think that won't cause problems. They are very close, and we can almost see this ethnography as "one piece." Lots to work with here Toni, and you are getting excellent material.
