This is my favourite Coffee Girl that we’ve done so far. <3
Rachel says: This is Emily. Currently, she plays bass for an all-girl punk group called the Glitter Leeches. Music has always been her passion, and she’s been playing bass since she was fifteen. Of course she never played with her high school band - she was too busy feeling misunderstood and imagining herself as the lead in her own personal episode of Daria (still her favourite show). This fantasy was aided by the fact that she only ever had one really good friend, who is her best friend to this day. Now 22 years old, Emily works several part-time jobs while struggling to devote herself to music. Her favourite of these is at a dying local video store, where she is the manager. She steals rock candy swizzle sticks from the fifty-cent bin on the counter and watches Disney movies during her shifts. She loves post-apocalyptic science fiction novels, and the colour pink.

Rachel says:This is Lola. She’s in her second year at Harvard, doing a masters in Business. She’s clearly on her way to a party of some sort - I’m thinking her birthday party. I feel like she might have asked her friends for a small, appropriate party, before giving them a 35 person guest list and telling them she’d “act surprised”. She’s vivacious and fun, and incredibly smart. After her degree she’ll move to New York and work semi-obsessively, so she can make enough money to retire early. She’s very driven. She also has an intense obsession with fashion; one of the reasons she looks forward to making money is that she can finally afford to splurge on all the clothes she covets. She’s less about haute couture, however, and more about finding fun or frilly outfits that make her feel excited to put them on. Forever 21 is her weakness. She loves dancing, and is constantly pressing her friends to try Zumba with her. She reads her horoscope every morning, and, if no one is looking, she eats frosting right out of the can.art by Kora
This T-Shirt is like a Coffee version of our Cafe au Ladies project. (via laughingsquid)

Rachel says: So her name is Melody, and she’s a makeup artist from Northern California. Melody likes to get angry about things. From a screwed-up coffee order, to the radio playing the same song twice in a row, to the store being out of her brand of blueberry juice, Melody almost enjoys the feeling of getting angry about nothing. She spends her day looking at people in the face, and perhaps as a result, she’s really more of a loner. She drinks a lot of peppermint tea because it’s supposed to be calming. The last date she went on tried to cook dinner for her, and she regrets that she was not very receptive. But generally, you have to spend a little money to get her attention. She’s been described as a bitch, but, she thinks there are worse things to be called. She loves Vogue magazine, and baked potatoes.

Café au Ladies has a new post brewing, but in the meantime we thought we’d share with you a sketch from a previous Lady - Grande Full-Fat Espresso Con Panna

I always say each new cafeaulady is my favourite, but this one really is my favourite!
Squeeeeee! I love the dog’s face on our first custom order at cafeauladies!
