" 1. Most Fabulous of the Week: Isabella Blow    The late fashion editor&amp;#039;s incredible wardrobe will be featured in a London exhibit this spring. To celebrate, Nick Knight took some dreamy  photos of the collection. The best way to peruse her incredible style now is via Tumblr.  Isabella knew how to wear a lobster long before Lady Gaga did it to be &amp;quot;edgy.&amp;quot; #justsayin  2. Most Bad-Ass of the Week: Elini Sardina  The New York Daily News reports on one of the first high schools to have an all-girl varsity wrestling team. The star of the article is sophomore Eleni Sardina, who is credited in large part with creating the team. A quote from Sardina: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s really hard to support a sport that&amp;#039;s considered masculine to girls. Luckily we have 14 girls on the team. I like our team the way it is, we have a family-like atmosphere that I love.&amp;quot; Girls rule, boys etc. etc. 3. Most F*ck Yeah of the Week: Sarah Silverman and Lizz Winstead  Video streaming by Ustream Comedians Sarah Silverman and Lizz Winstead hosted an ABORTION TELETHON which sounds somehow retro and futuristic at the same time. It&amp;#039;s a stupendous response to the new Texas law that will prevent an estimated  20,000 women a year from obtaining safe abortions. The telethon raised $50,000 to help the struggling clinics. (After the law passed on November 1, about a third of the state&amp;#039;s clinics closed.) Learn more about the campaign, Lady Parts Justice, here. 4. Most Celebrated of the Week: Doris Lessing Doris Lessing, author of  The Golden Notebook, passed away this week at the age of 94. Lessing was a Nobel prize winner for literature. Some inspiring quotes from Lessing: &amp;quot;I think a writer&amp;#039;s job is to provoke questions. I like to think that if someone&amp;#039;s read a book of mine, they&amp;#039;ve had\u2014I don&amp;#039;t know what\u2014the literary equivalent of a shower. Something that would start them thinking in a slightly different way perhaps. That&amp;#039;s what I think writers are for. This is what our function is. We spend all our time thinking about how things work, why things happen, which means that we are more sensitive to what&amp;#039;s going on.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Whatever you&amp;#039;re meant to do, do it now. The conditions are always impossible.&amp;quot; More here. 5. Baddest HBIC of the Week: Andrea Jung If &amp;quot;B&amp;quot; stands for &amp;quot;businesswoman.&amp;quot; Andrea Jung just became the first female CEO of Avon. In this short video, Jung talks about what it&amp;#039;s like running a business as a woman. She says she was passed over for the job previously but decided to stay with the company because she loved it, which was &amp;quot;one of the most important decisions&amp;quot; she ever made. Proof that you don&amp;#039;t always have to quit when you get passed over for a promotion \u2014 these things can work out!  6. Provider of the Best Excuse Not to Clean Your Apartment: Marion Cannon Schlesinger Marion Cannon Schlesinger is an author and illustrator of five children&amp;#039;s books. She is also 101 years old. The Centenarian told  The Atlanticthat young women &amp;quot;should just do their thing, no matter what.&amp;quot; Also: &amp;quot;This idea that feminism was created in the last twenty years is ridiculous. When you think of all the women that went across the continent in covered wagons. Really. It&amp;#039;s ridiculous. It&amp;#039;s a lot of baloney. If they&amp;#039;d read a little history, they&amp;#039;d find out that women have been powerful characters all through the history of the United States.&amp;quot; And: &amp;quot;My mother had said, &amp;#039;It doesn&amp;#039;t really matter if your house is that dirty. Go ahead and do your thing. Don&amp;#039;t pay too much attention to housekeeping.&amp;#039;&amp;quot; 7. Coolest Makeover of the Week: Judy Blume books! In the 1970 classic Are you there God? It&amp;#039;s me, Margaret, Margaret stashes away pads that come with a belt (???) that ties around the waist to keep the thing in place. Sadly these pads do not make an appearance on the new Judy Blume book covers, but they are GORGE anyway.  8. Best Real-Talker of the Week: Kate White  The former editor-in chief of Cosmopolitan gave Go Girl Finance some #RealTalk: &amp;quot;The most important thing you have to know is that you MUST ask and you MUST negotiate\u2026Just do it. And always ask\u2013nicely\u2013 if they can do better than the starting salary that&amp;#039;s stated when you&amp;#039;re offered a new job. Studies show that much of your salary growth occurs during first 10 years of your career and then that becomes the platform you build on. And every bit counts. If you negotiated a starting salary offer to $55,000 from $50,000, that has the potential to be worth $600,000 over the course of a career if you factor in raises and the like.&amp;quot; 9. Most Creative RV Dweller of the Week: Genevieve Belleveau  New York artist Genevieve Belleveau will live in an RV she&amp;#039;s calling a &amp;quot;mobile monastery.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The goal is to try to create an alternative to life in an apartment in New York City,&amp;quot; she explains in the campaign video. It&amp;#039;s honestly a great idea \u2014 NYC rents are astronomical. &amp;quot;This is also a metaphysical thing,&amp;quot; she continues. &amp;quot;I want other people to look at this project and say...how can I create the life that&amp;#039;s best for me?&amp;quot;  She&amp;#039;s highly qualified for the project, you see: I have worked as an Mister Softee truck driver in Manhattan for 6 years and more recently as a truck manager for the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck. I consider my experience with mobile vending to be foundational to this endeavor and consider my knowledge of truck mechanics, street culture, traffic laws and general hustle essential to the success of this project. 10. Most Unfortunately Tokenized of the Week: Cindy Sherman  Vanity Fair has come up with a list of the  Six Best Living Artists and Sherman is the only woman on it. Sherman deserves to make the list but the other people on it \u2014 Jasper Johns, Richard Serra, Ellsworth Kelly \u2014 bore me. White. Old. Minimalist dudes. Here are 10 other women that are easily deserving of a Best Living Artist title: 1. Jenny Holzer 2. Nan Goldin 3. Mickalene Thomas 4.Barbara Kruger 5. Kara Walker 6.Catherine Opie 7. Tracey Emin 8. Marina Abramovic 9. Lorna Simpson 10. Marilyn Minter *Note, Cindy Sherman currently holds the title of &amp;quot;Queen of Selfie&amp;quot; which has been down through time, beginning with Frida Kahlo, Founder of the Selfie.
