I never thought I would blog. Sharing my day to day thoughts with others always seemed odd. Someone reading what I had to say... voluntarily? Hard to believe. I finally opened my eyes and decided to share. So blog I shall.
Tank tops.. They only seem to be popular in southern California, or place where there is a beach within walking distance. I may live in the mid-west, however a lady in LA holds my heart. I started wearing tank tops after seeing guys sport them all over the place on my visits. Walking the streets of indianapolis this past friday night I opted to trade in the polo, dark jeans, and loafers for a tank top, jean shorts, and flip flops. Minutes after arriving downtown my friend and I walked by a line to enter the bar. What do I hear? "Cute shirt." "Yeah fag, cool shirt." I smile and nod at the four insecure, affliction wearing tool bags that think every girl wants them in the bar.
How to respond? Do you get angry for being called out in-front of 100 people waiting to get into a bar? Perhaps you feel bad for yet another person falling into the stereotype, the fashion norm of whatever region you call home. This is the approach I went with. What happened to being an individual? What happened to individual creativity. At what point in our lives did we pick up a magazine, see an ad and say to ourselves, "I want to be that."? Why aren't we flipping the pages of multiple magazines and making our own ads that we want to be? Why are there fashion dos in California that are fashion donts in Indiana? Whats with the east coast style and the west coast style? Why cant it just be style? Im pursuing the answers to these questions while writing this. I am also trying to make these questions non-existent with my very own clothing line.
This blog will be a reflection of fashion, music, and life in general. I have an opinion and love to use it, even when it isn't loved. Starting my senior year of college I have a lot to think about; I have to finish school on time, make the long distance with my girlfriend work, and start to pursue my real dreams.
Im not scared, and you shouldn't be either
the more you keep talking about your potential line, the more it will become real. there are always people reading even if you never get comments. post this shit everywhere.
