As a creative writer, Daggett is perhaps best known under the pen name “Lipstick” in the popular international advice column Lipstick & Dipstick, which was featured in CURVE for over a decade. Voted the No. 1 column by readers, Lipstick & Dipstick published a book in 2007, a punchy, playful relationship guide.

For the last decade, Daggett has also been working on stage and in front of the camera, both as herself and as her alter ego “Lipstick.” She has spoken on college campuses, at corporate headquarters, large events, and co-hosted two tv shows—one which currently airs on OUTtv Network and the other, a cooking show that is currently in development. 

 

Daggett is the Creative Director and Founder of Chateau Creative | Entertainment. One shingle focuses on design/marketing, the other tv/film production. Chateau currently has numerous projects in various stages of development, including the adaptation and production of Jukebox.

 

When she’s not pounding the keys on her computer, Daggett is pounding the pavement on the tennis court, hanging out on the lake, playing hockey, snow skiing, or volunteering with the Whistler Adaptive Snow School.

 

Born and raised in Paradise Valley, Arizona, Daggett now calls Whistler, British Columbia home.
