Here's a quote to tickle your thinker:

A study conducted by Gentile, Lynch, Linder & Walsh (2004, p.6) "adolescent girls played video games for an average of 5 hours a week, whereas boys averaged 13 hours a week".

Outfit in Motion!

One of my absolute requirements for an everyday outfit is a full range of motion.  

If I can't dance, bike, run, jump, and generally fail around at any given second then I'm pretty much just using myself as a hanger for a nice piece of clothing.  

I don't like the idea of being a hanger.

This dress is filled with a most wonderful amount of patterns put together by Hannah Webb Franco yogi and fashion extraordinare!  I feel pretty awesome getting to wear her creations, just saying.

clearly I need to work on my bike-photography skills!

A body in motion wants to stay in motion - make sure your clothes let you do that!
