Volume 1, Issue 82, March 3, 2011: Sexy One Piece Swimsuits
I've put on a little weight in both my butt and thighs and in my breasts and I don't think that I'm bikini ready for this Spring/Summer. I only have two-piece swimsuits right now and I can't exactly fit them as well as I used to. So I'm on the lookout for one piece swimsuits that are slimming, flattering and sexy.

Volume 1, Issue 78, January 25, 2010: IM BACK!!!!!
It's been a couple of months since I've blogged. These past couple of months have been some of the hardest and most heart breaking. I had to deal with numerous deaths in my family, financial crisis, and stress from school. I've haven't had the time to do one of the things that I love the most which is blogging. This blog is one of the few outlets I used to express myself. If I ever had a problem or any troubles I would just blog and I would feel much better in the end. I can be myself without anyone judging me or looking down on me and I write on anything thats on my mind. I know it's late but one of my New Years Resolutions was to revive my blog again and make a post at least once a week. This is the start of that.

Volume 1, Issue 76, July 14, 2010: What Do I Actually Want To Do When I'm Done Slaving For My Corrupt School
Even though I'm only a Junior, I'm counting down the days until I graduate(667 days bitches). I'm ride or die for 2012. I cannot wait. Once I graduate from school I know that theres no turning back.
The first thing I want to do is: Get the fuck out of DC before 2013 and kiss all of these capitol hill douches goodbye. I really hate living in DC sometimes. I've been here all my life and I see nothing special or unique about it. I don't understand why DC has so many annoying tourist. Seriously, I'm a DC resident and the Capitol, the Monument, the Air and Space Museum and Pentagon Mall are nothing to get excited over and take annoying group pictures with.
DC is a great city if you want to go into politics, history, or any type of analytical/logical/thinking sort of career path. DC is not for artistic freaks of nature such as my self. DC is very yuppie, serious and focused on the government. DC has no cool fabric stores, no places were someone can get custom clothes, barely any PR companies, no hot male models running around. Everyone is in the same boring grey/black/dark blue suit.
It seems everyone around me thinks that I'm strange.Instead of taking the mundane pre-law/pre-med/political science economics track to Georgetown/UMD/UVA/George Mason/GW/VCU like my friends from high school did, I choose to go to Marymount University a small, private, Catholic university in Arlington, VA and major in the unthinkable: FASHION MERCHANDISING.
I remember when I first told my UVA snob high school friends about my major choice and that I will not be going to UVA with them and they all looked as of I had become a card carrying member of the Westboro Baptist Church. Here were some of my friends actual reactions to my announcement:
"OMG, you're not going to make any money!"
"How are you going to be taken seriously?"
"Are you going to be on Project Runway?"
"Fashion is not important, you need to find something that you can contribute to society."
"I don't understand why anyone would go to school for something so stupid and superficial."
Did mention that I was accepted to UVA a month or two before them and these jealous assholes didn't believe me? I showed them my letters of acceptance, my award package, and even my fucking housing. These douches didn't even want to congratulate me.I guess that they were shocked that a lowly fashion merchandising major such as myself could ever get into UVA.
This is why I want to leave DC because attitudes like that. DC people have very little knowledge about the fashion industry and it's impact. When I say knowledge I mean: knowing about the fabrics names, fiber contents, the difference between Pret A Porter and Haute Couture, the names of all the people who were apart of Marie Antoinette's glam sqaud, the origins and history of fashion trends and styles. Shit like that. People in DC dress ok, nothing really special just 1980s rewinds and trashy overpriced hipster chic and boring generic faux preppy styles. I'm not impressed. People in DC think just because they dress up to the standards of these three genres of style that they are some sort of expert or scholar in fashion. 99% there people buying new clothes everyday and spending their book money on Urban Outfitters wouldn't know who Charles Frederick Worth was and his amazing contributions to the world of fashion or Jackie Kennedy's favorite designer.
I'm not trying to bash DC but I'm telling the honest truth. People here don't stand out fashion wise. We all shop at the same store and have the same stupid hairstyles. DC doesn't have a very prominent fashion industry and we don't have a fashion district. So what's the point of me staying in this one horse town? I'm hitting the road and moving where there is more action and creativity. Here are some places I thought about moving to:
-NYC: It's the center of the universe and it has the biggest and most well know fashion industry.
-Tokyo: NYC's Asian sister who is the most expensive city in the world. Japan aka the land of the rising sun, is my favorite country in the world. I've always been in love with Japanese culture and fashion. It's really expensive so I'm unsure and plus I can't speak Japanese to save my life.
-Singapore: Its a very wealthy, diverse, and eco-friendly tiny Asian Island. It's a stones throw away from Japan, China, and India. Plus, get this, English is there official language.
-Hong Kong: I'm going next summer for my internships and a a couple of classes.
-Miami: It's consider the cleanest major city and the only subtropical major city in Mainland USA. I'm not sure about Miami because I would have to actually get a car to get around the city. But hey, it has a beach.
-Paris: One of the most beautiful cities in the world with also the one of the best cities for fashion.
As far as career paths I'm still indecisive. Here are some possible career choices:
Fashion PR-a fashion publicist helps both apparel companies and retail stores build a desired image to reach their target audience and then maintain it by a variety of creative promotions. They observe social, economic and political trends and decide what could ultimately have an effect on their client and make recommendations for a variety of media events that will put their client in a favorable light with their target audience.
Fashion Buyer- someone who decides what items will be stocked in a store, based on his or her predictions about what will be popular with shoppers. Retail buyers usually works closely with designers, and attend trade fairs and fashion shows to observe trends. They may work for large department stores, chain stores or smaller boutiques. Decisions about what to stock can greatly affect fashion businesses.
Wardrobe stylist-is the job title of someone who selects the clothing for published editorial features, print or television advertising campaigns, music videos, concert performances, and any public appearances made by celebrities, models or other public figures. Stylists are often part of a larger creative team assembled by the client, collaborating with the fashion designer, photographer/director,hair stylist and makeup artist to put together a particular look or theme for the specific project. A wardrobe stylist can also be referred to as a fashion stylist, fashion editor, or celebrity stylist.
Fashion journalism-is an umbrella term used to describe all aspects of published fashion media. It includes fashion writers, fashion critics or fashion reporters. The most obvious examples of fashion journalism are the fashion features in magazines and newspapers, but the term also includes books about fashion, fashion related reports on television as well as online fashion magazines, websites and blogs. Since pieces more often than not deal with "tendencies" and "trends", which are subjective by nature, and due to a sometimes tenuous relation with facts, the term "journalism" is used as a moniker, but does not carry the overall procedural and deontological aspects of professional journalism.
