About

Macy Hurwitz was born in Austin, Texas during that trying time in American history called the 80’s. She spent most of her young life singing hair metal tunes and chasing non-indigenous barnyard animals around her parents’ land in Sunset Valley.

After an unpromising adolescence, she attended St. Edward’s University and
graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in English Writing and Rhetoric. During her college career, Miss Hurwitz acquired an amazing music collection, a strong aversion to ice cream and a taste for fine bourbon.

Upon her graduation, she disappeared into Europe, emerging suddenly several months later jabbering like a Spanish native and chastizing others for their tardiness.

Following a short stint at a small-town newspaper, Miss Hurwitz relocated to Washington, DC to pursue a career in scarves, overcoats and global reporting. She claims that the people there make comments about her exceptional rear end on a daily basis, and, hey, who can blame them?

  • Non-indigenous barn yard animals?!

    I loved the article and the topic. Growing up in Spain I found that catcalls ranged from complimentary and nice to receive to truely creepy and scary. However in Austin, Texas catcalls are uncommon perhaps because there is not as much opportunity since there is very little walking about town done.

  • I love this page :) You are right. The 80s were a trying time. In what other decade could your bangs be bigger than your head?
