And so it begins

I have decided that it is time to spread my feelings and opinions on fashion all around for the world to read. (Far worse things are spread around the world; far less enjoyable spreadable things.) This looks like a good place to do it. I have a tumblr account, but I feel like if I post there everyday, people will get mad. I'm not sure why I feel that way, but regardless, I do so I will use this blogspot.

I don't plan for this to be like most article-type fashion blogs and I am going to do my best to keep it that way for the most part. I prefer to use humor and comedy to keep readers interested, that is of course, if you can handle a fair amount of cynicism and bluntness (which could be mistaken for offensiveness which I am also o.k. with).

I would also love feedback. At the end of this post I will add my direct email address along with my twitter url so that you can all send me anything you would like me to discuss, make fun of, answer actual fashion-related questions, etc. I would love for you to send me pictures that you are mean enough to take of people who are committing fashion crimes. Just don't let that person catch you doing this, because I'm not driving you to the hospital when you get your ass kicked, sorry. But let's face it, this is what camera's were installed in phones for. On the other hand, send me pictures of anyone you see with what you feel is a dope outfit. Believe me, I'll tell you if I think you're out of your mind. I'd really like this to be heavily interactive. So please help me do this with your participation.

Fear not, I have credibility here. I am a student at The Academy of Art University with a major in Fashion Design and a minor in Fashion Journalism. I have drowned myself in the pleasures of the fashion world since I was a little lady. It remains my biggest passion in life. So at 25 years old, I made the major decision of dropping the more "practical" career I was pursuing to go after my dream head-on. I research and study designers from couture to local artists, runway shows, any type of fashion related visual creations you can imagine. I also have VERY diverse fashion interests. Anything from Salvatore Ferrigamo to Obey and EVERYTHING in between. Try me.

On the journalism/writing side of things, I have been writing since I was taught how to put pencil to paper and form words. I have written songs for bands, for my own music, written stories, blogs, articles, poetry, etc. It happens to be another thing I am very passionate about.

So I'll leave this first post as an introduction of myself and where I will put links to my email and twitter accounts. Starting tomorrow, I will begin to unleash havoc of the opinions that have been waiting to burst out of my skull for the past oh, 25 years?
