Honestly, we weren’t 100 percent sure, even after we decided to name our website that. We’re not totally sure it’s actually a word, but we know we like the sound of it. It sounds really, well, cool.

​

So to help us determine what it is, we did the only logical thing. We Googled it.

 

According to the Urban Dictionary, a chickster is a “cool lady.”

​

That seems fair enough. We certainly think we’re cool ladies. If you’re reading this and carrying around two X chromosomes, you’re probably a cool lady, too. In fact, we think all our friends, moms and sisters are cool ladies also.

​

Think our definition of a cool lady is too broad? We think not. We know so many dynamic and interesting women that live in this amazing city that we wanted to do something to give back. So what are three magazine-obsessed and publishing-savvy chicksters to do? Why create their own blog, of course, and work to turn it into a print magazine one day.

​

We hope through Chickster to create both a forum and a community of cool ladies hell bent on getting the most out of life in Austin, Texas. We love spider rolls, the Alamo Drafthouse, local artists, thrift store finds, theme parties, SoCo, chick lit, vampires, yoga, brunch, and Mexican Martinis, just for starters. We like to rock out, on stage and off.

​

While we focus on all things Austin, we hope that Chickster will strike a chord with women everywhere looking to get the most out of every day and night, whether it’s revering empowering chick television shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer or movies starring a character named Darcy with a wet white shirt. We want to make these pages resonate with you. This is our Chickster promise.

Sincerely,
