I had spent a year photographing this new generation of girls, much like myself, who fell kind of between-the-lines -- girls who skateboarded but did it in lacy underwear, girls who had boys' haircuts but wore girly nail polish, girls who had eyeshadow to match their scraped knees, girls who liked girls and boys who all liked boys and girls who all hated being boxed in to anything.
Jag hade tillbringat ett år med att fotografera denna nya generation tjejer som var lite som jag, som föll lite mellan stolarna – tjejer som åkte skateboard men bar spetsunderkläder, tjejer som hade killfrisyrer men nagellack samtidigt, tjejer som matchade ögonskuggan med sina blåmärken på knäna. tjejer som gillade tjejer och killar som alla gillade killar och tjejer som alla hatade att bli placerade i fack.
