Meet Erin E (left) and Sammy D (right)
They’re smart, witty and they love to throw back a good beer. Sammy prefers cider, Erin is all about Bud Light.
WEST COAST meets EAST COAST
It all began over a discussion at a bar (with beer, of course) at Pianos in the Lower East Side. Erin was interning at ESPN the magazine; and Sammy at SELF.
Seattle born-and-raised Erin used words like “rad” and “wicked.”
Sammy hails from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, home of farms, cows and the Amish. Her hometown niceness has stuck. She may be the nicest girl in NYC.
They were fed up with women’s magazines that didn’t stimulate them intellectually. They were reading the NY Times and Slate.com and logging onto College Humor for their “lol” fix.
AWKWARD is a forum about ideas, passions and convictions. It’s where you don’t have to take yourself seriously. Where you can high-five and miss (as seen above).
Where you should feel completely comfortable with just being yourself cause hey, life is AWKWARD. And perfection is boring. Who really likes perfect people anyway?
Sammy’s thong is hanging out in this picture. Erin isn’t wearing any pants.
We are your AWKWARD girls. We hope you join us in our journey.
