#SheSunday



Today's #SheSunday is all about the kick ass women musicians that are out there. The first woman I thought of was Lindsey Stirling who does stuff on the violin that I am positive the creator of the instrument never considered being done! In case you haven't heard her then check out some of her music on her YouTube channel.

Scanning through the lists of women musicians worldwide I realized something - a lot of them don't come from America. They are in countries all over the globe. And this led me to realize how limited my exposure to music really has been.

Anyway.

So today, let's celebrate kick ass women who play kick ass music. Here are some sites to get to know some of them better:
Kickass Music Women - an online magazine dedicated to the women who play
A playlist of inspirational “kick-ass women”

Listen, badass women are not a new thing - but they are a newly talked about thing. Back in 1967 the divine Aretha Franklin sang a song that was aimed toward giving women a voice. It's one of the best girl-power songs out there, and there's 9 others included on this list.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
