Emily Prouty is a 28 year old work in progress living in Nashville, Tennessee. A year away from community development focused Ph.D. after a literal lifetime spent in school has provided her with much needed time to reassess and rediscover. Current pursuits include training to be a Pilates instructor, running marathons she has not entirely trained for, visiting far off places and trying to sort her truest self out of the physical and mental debris of a decade on moves, over-the-top retail binges and avoidance since college. The sheer volume of clothes, papers, books, etc in her life have made her long to scream: “enough, enough…enough!” with increasing frequency and insistence. As fate would have it, she stumbled upon the Great American Apparel Diet while taking a break from an entire day spent posting unused designer clothes on e-bay. This challenge seems to be the answer to her desire to avoid creating anymore piles of lovely, fashionable goods to be painstakingly dispensed with in the future. As a health nut and native Coloradoan she would never dream of binging on donuts or ding-dongs and finds the parallel the GAAD draws between food and retail immensely clarifying. From now on she will aim to think: Prada = Pigs-in-a-blanket = Appalling!
