Hey there. I'm Ariel Meadow Stallings, a native Seattleite who's written my way up and down the Left Coast. Electrolicious is where I post daily randomata, but I also write for a living. My first book, Offbeat Bride, was published last year.

Yes, I used to be a total Urban Outfitters addict, then one day via the Village Voice last year, I learned that the owner of alot of NYC stores was giving tons of $$ to anti-homosexual campaigns and I haven’t shopped there since.
