What can I do with manicpixiedreamgirl.com? →[More:]Firstly, I think that's a rad name for something, regardless of its origins. I'm surprised no one's snapped up the domain name(s) since the
AV Club article.
Secondly, I know the main criticism about
MPDGs are that their quirkiness and presence is merely for the sake of the lead male character. They're not independent; their main focus in life is making the guy happy while not being a typical "damsel in distress".
However, I quite like the quirky-positive-silly aspect. Aside from the
"boyfriend-before-me" aspect, I think being an MPDG can be positive. They see opportunities and silver linings, don't take things seriously, aren't afraid of going against the norm or experiment with style and creativity.
I'd like to build an avenue for that.
I thought of making MPDG.com a magazine of sorts - kinda like a female lifestyle online mag, but with a very quirky and non-traditional outlook on things. Promoting creativity in a fun and lighthearted manner. Or it could be a club for girls who want to be the independent, self-assured version of a MPDG - who needs a man when you're happy with yourself? (Of course, those with partners can join too - the point is to be independently fine with your oddness.)
Any other ideas?
