I just had a phone conversation with a woman who was ordering a skirt from Michigan. She was super nice with a cheerful, pleasant, upbeat voice. We were having a wonderful conversation until she mentioned that she works for a pro-life organization, and plans "Pure" fashion shows. It seems that the pro-life movement has moved passed abstinence, and into modest dress as well. It works for my business, because hopefully I can contact some pro-life organizations to list my site on theirs. But honestly it makes my skin crawl. I spent the whole conversation acting like I thought what she was saying was fantastic, but my insides were turning.
I feel really torn. She mentioned something about having my clothes in their next fashion show. It would be good exposure in an area we haven't really infiltrated yet. And there will be hundreds of people there. But I am extremely pro-choice. I don't want to get into discussing the issue, because I could debate it for hours. But I'm kind of disgusted with myself that I'm willing to put aside my issues to make money.
