Hi. My name is Jodee Bayert, I'm the creator of the Rudegirl Mafia page. How did I come up with this idea, you ask? Well, gather 'round, kiddies, and I'll tell ya. It all started when I was at a show. I was there to have a good time, see, and I was... that is until I "overheard" a conversation between two other girls that were standing behind me. I'm sure you've heard the same exact conversation before.... "Ohmigod, what a slut," "Did you see what she's wearing?," "What a f@#*in' poseur..," that sort of thing. The girls didn't even know their gossip victim's name! I couldn't believe that they had come to this show and destroyed the integrity of the scene there just so they could cut this poor clueless creature down to size. I began to realize that the concept of unity didn't even exist to these girls. Frankly, I was worried. I decided that I had to take action instead of just sitting there, because this wasn't the first time I had heard this sort of thing, and I was fed up. So what do I do? I thought about doing a zine, but the astronomical costs of nation(or world!)wide distribution stopped that idea dead in it's tracks. Then it hit me... a webpage can be seen all around the world, and thanks to Tripod it doesn't cost a red cent. Now, I've set up a page to promote rudegirl culture and unity. My sister, Lauren Bayert, is my co-conspirator, she didn't help with the page design at all, but she did help me with the content and she is gonna be the model in my fashion section. I take pride in my rudeness, and I take pride in my femininity. I want this site to help all of you take pride in yourself, your scene, and your tolerance of other people.

The Rudegirl Mafia wants to provide an information source about rudegirl culture, as well as a place for rudegirls to contact one another. The way I see it, if all you girls have a way to talk and get to know each other on neutral grounds, you will be helping yourselves and others to realize the power of unity. I want the Mafia to spread a message of tolerance and help girls to overcome their preconcieved ideas and notions. It begins with you. This page is just here to help you along.
