About

Let’s start this with a quote from the show How I Met Your Mother. The setup: Some friends of the main characters have had a daughter and this conversation takes place.

Marshall: So have you guys landed on a name yet?

Stuart: We’re trying but it’s tougher than you think. You see, I like Tiffany.

Stacy: And I don’t want my daughter to have a whore’s name.

You see this? This is what I’m going up against. Everybody seems to bypass the fact that Tiffany & Co is a high-class establishment and go straight for the “Anybody named Tiffany is a ditz who was probably an exotic dancer before going to community college” stereotype.

That’s where the name of this blog comes in. I’m taking back the name of Tiffany from ditzes and bimbos. I’m taking it back from Hollywood and their lack of creativity that results in naming every ditz either Tiffany or Krystal.

In addition to this goal, I enjoy reading, using my creativity to make things, and watching Home Improvement reruns with my boyfriend. I love designing things and copy editing, but I only nitpick these things in everyday life if they are done horribly wrong. In other words, I’ll only block your updates on Facebook if you choose to end every single sentence with an exclamation point and question mark.

I’ve started other blogs in the past, but they were more serious and it became burdensome to be serious all the time. So on Taking Back Tiffany you’ll find plenty of nonsense and random musings, and occasionally you’ll read something thought provoking. But more often than not, you’ll probably just wonder if I’m a little off in the head. But I’m not, I promise.
