Fall 09 RTW

FAVORITES FOR FALL RTW-

All from selected designers. I picked pieces that I loved... I guess I'm having an Anna Sui and Burberry moment. Must just love what their lines are doing for fall. Working at Fashion Week in New York this year was absolutely INSANE definately gave me a different prospective on designers and their lines... Hope you LOVE it all as much as I DO! XoXo

Hmmm

People always say... in a relationship ... if you want it to last it shouldn't be about the sex because sex will fade.
So if this is the case and great sex will inevitably be ended due to some sort of dysfunction, why is it such a big sweat? Women feel like they can't sleep around without the "number" haunting/lingering, and revisiting old relationships are grounds for heartbreak. All these underlying rules that put restraints on sexual promiscuity. But our clock is TICKING!!!!

I also always feel horrible because everyone compares even if they're vastly opposite types of sex.
I know, beacuse I rate... I think everyone has a rank. But in this harsh hierarchy there is a form of selfishness. It can be explained/summed up by sleeping with an ex. Sure he was indecisive or uncommitted but the sex is good... and lets face it, its a free-bee the sex is comfortable/amazing. That's a given, plus your "number" (sex partners) STAYS THE SAME. But is this act of sexual relief self liberating or self destructive?

Can you actually sleep with an ex and be completely unattached?

hmm...

thoughts?

Hustle Bustle

At work... I work at Madewell... by the way
I am a manager at the flagship location in SoHo. Yay!
It's like 89 degrees out... the sound of taxis honking is almost numbing
when compared to the heat thats beating down. One can't complain however, because MN is just now thawing from another bone-chilling winter.
Words can't describe a Minnesota winter, and theres nothing like chats by a fireplace.
Miss home sometimes, but just my home/family and my friends.
The state itself really has nothing for me, I really dont think I was made to stay there.

Which makes me think...
Do I have New Yorkeritis? I feel like I can't stay put anywhere. My brain resembles the streets of Soho during a sample sale. Its always on the go. I moved from MN to CA to NY all in 2 years. And when I was thinking about the rent I was paying I suddenly realized I have a lease now... that means Im locked into a location? I started to feel anxious... but I'm not sure why. I think I love the thrill of new places, or new things... maybe thats why I'm dating a European... :)

One thing that has (through time) contradicted my case of New Yorkeritis is my ability to have long term relationships. Through all this mind-sorting, moving and job changing... I always manage to be in a relationship. However, its never just to "be in one" because I never "look" for someone special... or try to "replace" anyone it just sort of happens. Always.

Craziness if you ask me.

I dont think I could ever be held back on something that I want to do because of a significant other. At least that hasn't been the case yet. I love that symptom. Because through all the relationships that Ive been in... I can somehow see what I want and my self... very clearly.
Which I see... when looking at friends to be quite challenging.

Well... my break is over. Back to the Hustle Bustle of retail in New York.

Hollywood

One thing from LA that I'm not exactly missing while living in New York is the entertainment industry. It completely warps your frame of mind... there are so many things that irk me... when I actually looked into it... two things stood out to me.

Movie previews are absolutely futile, if I was an actress I would only be in a film if they would promise not to show previews in the beginning. This is for the simple understanding that EVERYTIME you get into the preposterously cold theater with your freshly popped popcorn and way-to-over-priced soda, you sit and watch these ridiculous things. These amnesic clippings of movies that make you at the edge of your seat begging for more, only to be slapped with a release date like, “Coming Soon.” Then you are instantly shaken going, “Wait what are we seeing? Damnit I want to see that last one!” Your movie suddenly looks like the watered-down runner-up until… “Next July,” (said in that movie man voice) when you can finally go to the film that just rocked your movie-previewing world.

Yet another loophole in the entertainment industry comes into view as you are scarfing down imitation butter popcorn and the cavity inducing Sour Jacks. You suddenly wish you felt a wave of nausea, as you are attentively gawking at Keira Knightley’s ribs jabbing out of her skin, instead of watching her beautiful sex scene with James Macavoy. Depression sinks in as you realize you’ve eaten more calories in the last 20 minutes than these actresses have in the last week. This industry definitely has a lot of things backwards, and weight is definitely one of them.



Sooo.... that's a start to the loopholes :) I'm sure there's so much more.
I have an extremely busy day but... I will post one more time... check back...

Traffic...

Life is insanely different living in Manhattan vs. living in Los Angeles. As I sit at starbucks on 27th and 7 Ave I began to realize how much I would hate driving in the city.

However, I cant really say LA was much easier ... upon thinking this... I dug up an archive entry in my comp about traffic in LA... was quite interesting to relive.

Tell me if you feel my pain...

Don’t you love how taking side roads never allows an escape from rush hour traffic for the reason that you will be stopping at every other stoplight. You’ll find yourself cursing and screaming, “GO!!” at the Civic in front of you that is just too afraid to go for a yellow light. Whether you’re waiting on the 405, or trying to speed down Figueroa you are going to have the same reluctant occurrence.

I also constantly catch myself getting so impatient with my designated lane that is serving me no justice by moving at a glacial pace, that I’m always quickly changing lanes into the one that is momentarily going faster. The feeling of advancement gets swiftly assassinated as I count the numerous cars and trucks behind the car I was previously following effortlessly pass me in my now standstill lane.
