Pick of the Week: March 14

It's a pirate woman, it's Dorothy from Wizard of Oz , it's a renaissance maid, oh no wait... it's Jackie Backer, our Pick of the Week for March 12. The only thing that isn't unusual about Jackie is her name (statistics show 1 in every 4 female Penn students are named Jackie). Other than that, she is known for her eccentric, cutting-edge style and laid back attitude, a breath of fresh air within Penn's sometimes homogenous student population. Never seen wearing the exact same thing twice, she always finds a way to reinvent her look- making "costumes and head dresses" an everyday occurrence. It comes as no surprise that she is a visual studies major who has a passion for fashion - she is frequently found perusing the pages of various fashion magazines in the Penn bookstore. She comes to Penn from the swamplands of Florida and loves to frequent happy hour at the Chili's bar.
