Becoming aCalamity Dame
Theres nothing like a DameThis short guide is here to tell you a whole bunch of stuff about what it means to be a Calamity Dame. Its about how we talk to people and what we want to achieve. And what we dont. Its about what being a Calamity Dame stands for. The idea behind the Dames has been lovingly slaved over, and this short guide helps us all to sing from the same hymn sheet; without losing our own unique voices.
What were not. The Calamity Dames dont aspire to be perfect, but were perfectly happy this way. We all live our lives to the best of our abilities, but every now and then we fuck up (we also swear quite a bit). We work, love, drink, eat, exercise, raise kids, date, decorate and even fart now and again. Although rarely all at once.
What we talk like. Although each Dame takes pride in banging her own drum, we do have a shared tone of voice. Were friendly and approachable. We talk to everyone like theyre a mate down the pub, warmly and with more than a touch of humour. We dont waffle, we dont patronise (no one likes a show-off) and we dont use jargon. We dont over complicate or use two words when one will do. Weve all got better things to do than babble on.NB: Dames all submit their own articles to be added to calamitydames.com but some minor editing should be expected. We promise to keep it to a minimum.
What type of Dames are there?There are two types of Dame, regular Calamity Dames and guest Dames. Regular Dames contribute regular articles (the clues in the name). We expect a minimum of one article a month from all regular Dames, although 3-4 would be brilliant! We dont need anymore than that. Quality rather than quantity and all that jazz. Guest Dames write what they can when they can. Be that one article every few months or just one article ever. Were happy to hear from our guest Dames whenever they have something to say.
How do you become a Dame.Wannabe Dames can submit articles at:www.calamitydames.com/about/submit-an-articleOnce approved well be in touch to find out what type of Dame you want to be.
Whats in it for you? Unfortunately we cant pay our Dames as we dont make any money. Its a dammed shame we know. We hope youll join us because its fun. Because youre fed up being told how you should live and because you have something to say.
Where do you find the Dames.As well as our main home at www.calamitydames.com you can also find the Dames hanging out at www.facebook.com/CalamityDames and on Twitter under the guise of @CalamityDamesPop past and say howdy, wed love to hear from you.
Thank you.
