Etsy's Handmade Blog
About Us: Tara aka weirdwolf

Etsy has had quite a growth spurt in the past year, and we have the awkward pictures to prove it. We'll be posting a series of About Us pieces to help you get to know the Etsy admin (and since many of us work remotely, for the admin to get to know each other!). You've seen the admin badge, and maybe you're a bit curious about the person behind it! For more on Etsy's mission and about the company, please see our About page (the link is in the little blue footer of every Etsy page).

Tara aka weirdwolf, our new addition to the Storque Team, just ratcheted up the cool factor of this here super-blog. Tara is a NYC local, though lived in Boston for many years,  and has her finger on the pulse of the handmade world. She's an art school grad (we got to see some of her photography on textile work) and she brings with her an extensive background in filmmaking and editing.  She's a rockstar.

Yeah, like I said. Tara is a rockstar and apparently, always was. This is the closest thing we could find to an "awkward" picture. Gorgeous!

Yes. Rock star.

This wind-blown, devil-may-care attitude, paired with snakeskin and thigh-high boots look? Tara, please.  We are in awe of you.

Baby rockstar. Now we know where she got it from: her awesome mama.

Here's Tara's first Etsy Find.

OMG, those boots are so amazing on you! Plus, you had the attitude to go with them.
You were way way way ahead of your time with the thigh boots. Gwen Steffani, Hayden Panatierre, Megan Fox, Jessica Simpson, and J-Lo wear those all the time. Your sense of style is classic!
