A Letter

I will resume blogging but in a different direction than the traditional fashion blog. My hopeis to entertain with short and smartly-written posts on fashion but from a different standpoint. If you read on, you will understand in more thorough detail why. I definitely suggest you do!

There always seems to be a point in my life where I change how I act, speak, interact, think. In October 2010, I moved from my home in Virginia to Los Angeles, CA. Honestly, it felt like hell over here my first month or so. About four months later and it still does. Right now, I just feel no connection with me and this city; for reasons I can elaborate on from time to time. So in this move, I've changed. In me returning back home for Christmas/New Year's break and then returning back to my own studio apartment in L.A., I've changed again.

I came here with the intent on being that hip, trendy boy. Little did I know, FIDM (my current school, but hopefully not for long) was crawling with people just like that. You see, I feel uncomfortable around all of the wannabe Lookbook darlings/dralos (male version, no?). Nor did I enjoy the atmosphere of my fellow students' aspirations to be famous without doing any work. Laid back? Definitely. That two-worded phrase is all I hear when I tell people I dislike this city, or, well, where I reside and study. Laid back with the hipster girl puffing on her ciggie, blackberry in hand. Annoying? Definitely.

So I figured, whatever. I want to design and eventually move to New York in a transfer. To return to my East Coast roots/beloved time zone and my personally-coveted city of residence. Since coming here and ignoring California, and since coming back from my break, my own style and tastes have changed with fashion. For the better. But now I find myself aspiring for another field than design.

I want to be a writer. Preferably in fashion, of course. And, since watching Destiny's Child's Destiny Fulfilled & Lovin' It! Tour, I've wanted to be a Creative Director. For this, I want to produce stage productions for concert tours (Beyoncé, Lady Gaga), be a part of a musician's creative team, and/or the Creative Director of a fashion publication. I've always had a way of writing and want to do it but I never had the desire to pursue it... To put my writing and love of fashion together. So my initial title for this post? "A Letter From the Editor."

If you've read this entire post, thank you. I hope I've entertained you and convinced you to come back for more (disclaimer: future posts will NOT be this long). I had to write this much to display the different direction this blog will begin to head in. Something a little different than the normal fashion blogs of the online. I'll practice writing in an editorial view, Vogue.com, Style.com-esque. But maybe with a little more entertainment/excitement/humor?
