A thank you is in order....

Who would have ever thunk it??? Here I sit, inspired by the sometimes uninspired. I always wondered how I could write poetry but could not formulate those same thoughts to write a blog…

It’s just a matter of organizing the millions of thoughts running around in your head. So today, instead of doing work for a moment, I decided to read facebook posts. I swear, facebook is going to be the end of a good paying job for someone, smile. And speaking of facebook, I would like for the dictionary to finally recognize this ingenious idea, so that the little red lines disappear.

THANK YOU!!!

Back to what I was saying, so I was on facebook and I stumbled upon a person’s page whom I once adored, hated, liked, admired and then hated again…. As I read her blog updates, I thought to myself, wow, what a talented writer, interesting posts with a bit of humor, clever… With her rants and raves about inspiration, life lessons, bullshit, bullshit, I became inspired. Now who am I kidding, this is not going to be the start of the next best blog as I am stretched way too thin as it is. But it is nice to be able to vent in a public forum from time to time, so once again I say…

THANK YOU!!!

Now there is a quote about something being deserved, required, much, something of that sort, can’t think of the quote and personally don’t feel like googling it… OMG, is googling not a word either, WTF!!! LOL… Okay, but seriously… The quote in summary states that you must give credit when inspiration in any form is stumbled upon and so I ponder, should I thank her. Do I send an email thanking her for doing what I knew I could do anyway? Do I send a facebook message, ugh, the red lines, telling her that I am inspired by her writing and now I too want to post to my new blog every now and then? Well, I could just hope that she too stumbles upon my post and ends up reading my blog, where she will be welcomed by a post dedicated to her called….

THANK YOU!!!

A day in the life of a trendsetter...

So you ask, who starts trends? Why am I forced to wear what "Hollywood" says is stylish? Why can't I create my own style and be accepted for who I am?

Trends have been around for ages, it's the reason we read magazines, read blogs and go shopping in the first place. If we didn't have trends, people would walk around in stone-washed jeans with feathered bangs while the rest of the world looks like a page out of Vogue magazine. To be quite honest, it isn't necessarily "Hollywood" that starts the trends, it's the fashion capital of the world, Paris. Designers spend years trying to decide what the next big fashion item is going to be, long hours and lots of material goes into what you see in "Hollywood," and eventually your neighborhood retailer.

Trend: style; vogue according to dictionary.com

You can be your own trendsetter, if you aren't liking the newest trend, put your own spin to it. Hate leggings, want to tear the heels off of high-heeled shoes, do it, take what you see and make it your own and maybe you too can be the next trendsetter.
