Almost Ready

almost ready is a nod to the awkward, funny, embarrassing, and deeply human parts of being a woman.

almost ready is a nod to the awkward, funny, embarrassing, and deeply human parts of being a woman.

The kind of things we all relate to—the moments we see ourselves in, even if we’ve been taught to hide them. The little things no one’s supposed to notice. Even though we all know they happen, we still feel a twinge of shame, like we’ve failed some invisible standard.

We’re supposed to be clean, put-together, proper. But girlhood isn’t always like that.
Sometimes we forget a strip of hair while shaving, our boob sweat shows through a shirt, or a fake nail snaps in half at the worst time.

This series brings humor and relatability to the front lines of those “not-so-perfect” moments. It’s a way to reclaim them—with a smirk. A reminder that we’re human too.
And sometimes... we’re just almost ready.
