An honest-to-goodness Portland native, Kelsey spent the past few years earning an M.A. in Communication Studies/Gender Studies at the University of Oregon. Having now returned to the City of Roses, she can imagine no better way to spend her time than working at Bitch. Since this cannot, however, happen 24 hours a day, she spends the remainder of her time listening to records, making things out of fabric, and blogging and podcasting in the hopes of forcing her opinions on others. If you know of a stylish used bike or a cheap apartment, she is interested.

most popular pups in town." They wear shoes, clothes, and makeup. They
love shopping and gossip. They hang out in all of the hippest spots,
from nightclubs to spas. And, each of the three pups has her own unique
personality!
Find out more about each individual pup, and tell us your thoughts, after the jump.
