The Kelly You Love

Women around town (and guys too) tell me they’re fans of Kelly Love Johnson, whose essays regularly appear in skirt!. 

Kelly will be reading from her new book on Thursday at Columbia College.  So fans, come tell her in person that you like her stuff.

Kelly’s book, published by skirt! books, is called skirt! Rules for the Workplace, an Irreverent Guide to Advancing Your Career.  Kelly is the luncheon speaker at this day-long workshop:
