We are pleased to announce that we have a very special guest joining us today at Jezebel: the athlete, model, actor, and speaker Aimee Mullins will be here for a Q&A session with you, our readers, starting around 1 PM E.S.T. Mullins, whose legs were amputated below the knee when she was just 1 year old, is known for competing against able-bodied athletes as an NCAA Division I track and field athlete at Georgetown, setting three world records at the Paralympic Games in 1996, walking Alexander McQueen’s runway on a pair of hand-carved wooden prosthetic legs, and telling awesome stories at the Moth.
Mullins appears in a fashion spread in the new issue of Garage magazine. Whether you want to talk about her fashion work, activism for women’s and disabled people’s rights, or what it was like to act in Matthew Barney’s Cremaster 3, we suggest you think of your questions…now! Check back in at 1 PM for Aimee’s live discussion, which will last half an hour.
