It's that time again…time for Clotheshorse to SAVE Halloween! And for this very important mission, Amanda is joined by a Clotheshorse all-star, Maggie Greene, the Halloween Queen!  Over the next two episodes, you’ll get to meet some fabulous guests while we talk about all of the ways we can save Halloween from the ghouls of capitalism, waste and overconsumption.  You’ll be haunted by all of the scary facts about Halloween waste, but hopefully you’ll also be inspired to make this Halloween better than ever, putting the "we" back into Halloween. In this episode, we’re going to talk a lot about costumes and decorations.  And we’ll be joined by two other Clotheshorse All-Stars (and major Halloween lovers) Ruby and Meredith. The CH Scary Vibes Playlist Learn more about Ruby's business, Spokes and Stitches (and learn more about her workshops) here. Maggie Greene (she/her), aka The Halloween Queen and Your Fairy Godthrifter, is a cisgender, pansexual woman, a recovering marketing professional, and a trauma and abuse survivor. But most people know her as the Chief Everything Officer and Weirdo-in-Residence at Maggie Greene Style, an ethical microbusiness on a mission to transform how people see themselves by amplifying the personal in personal brand and style.  Maggie supports entrepreneurs, leaders, and individual contributors of all ages, body types, and gender expressions, on creating clarity and visibility for themselves in their career and beyond. Her superpower is zeroing in on what makes a person unique and showing them how to maximize those assets - in person and online - by supporting them on everything from their wardrobe to their LinkedIn profile. Her signature secondhand-first approach to sourcing helps counter consumption culture and reduces global fashion waste.
