Consumed by Life

So it has been a very long time since i blogged can you blame me i have been CONSUMED BY LIFE....Tons to talk about first and foremost....I GOT ACCEPTED TO THE FASHION INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY!!!! Yes I'm taking a grande bite out of that delicious apple and not holding back one bit! Upon this acceptance into F.i.t came some tough decisions with the current standing of my love life, see i had a certain spanish hunk in my life but felt torn between him and the NYC, titled as the best boyfriend i have ever had, it pained to let him slip away but we both decided it was for the best. Aspirations to be a sexy cop maybe one day he will pull me over in my pink lambo and sparks will fly once again. I leave it in fates hands and only look forward to my future now. Other decisions such as where i will lay my head at night and possible job opportunities have consumed my thoughts, oh and how i will pay for it all, check the "undecided" box por favor. not to mention i applied for a michael kors internship...(gasp)...i know cross fingers and toesies, cuz i love his orange glow and witty commentary courtesy project runway not to mention he epitomizes classic americano fashion. oh and major beefin going on with a certain bracefaced friend-enemy at school (deets not juicy enough to reveal) but hopefully all will be resolved soon, off to beauty sleep land....Xoxo

p.s. rigo your the only comments i get of coarse i read them

Mr. Right vs. Mr.right now

So as its dreaded arrival neared its departure was even sweeter, yes valentines day, it came and it went. I hate when guys give the bullshit excuse of valentines is just a marketing scheme and "why should i show my love that one specific day" uhm...earth to beavis you don't show it any other day. I have never gotten roses just because and def never gotten chocolates on any other day besides v-day. A romantic holiday is what its suppose to be, but every year it torments me, and im sure 5 million other girls feel like me. A hopeless romantic at heart, and somehow deep inside believe chivalry is not dead how can one really decipher if a guys efforts are truly to show affection or truly to show you affection in the form of his bulging pants. I spoke to a friend who pours his whole heart into every girl he feels can potentially be the "one" only to disappointingly find out that she isn't. I wish there was a way to seek out the "one" like a floating light bulb above your head only to be sparked and lit by the "one." Which leads to the title, Mr.Right vs. Mr.right now...... Mr.right is the quintessential perfect guy, the one who opens the doors, calls you every day, text you when he thinks of you, always considers you in his plans, gushing about you to his friends, all around charming guy. But most often when we meet mr.right we are opted to go for Mr.right now, the guy who you have instant chemistry with (mostly sexual attraction) hardly calls, never texts back right away, refuses to change his single status on myspace to "in a relationship" gives you the "why do we need a title" speech, yeah that guy the one who treats you like dirt but you stick to him like mud( a very wise 17yr old boy gave me that analogy) Why is that? Age old answer of you always want what you cant have. A game of cat and mouse but this huge feline dominates your jungle and for some reason you choose not to have it any other way. So i sit her contemplative whether to tell my friend to morph into mr.right now or continue wearing his heart on his sleeve(resulting in hole he is unable to patch) or holding on to the last shred of hope he has left that the "one" is still out there. I guess that is an answer he will have to decide, maybe for the next girl he can be wiser, not jump into something so quickly. I always tell him to not expect the world from a girl, when you do and she doesnt deliver your left to pick up the pieces of a broken heart, and unfortently that is what he is left to do so off with my broom and a bottle of booze (im on damage control)..... until next time kiddies ciao!!

THERE IS NO C IN FABULOUS...

So being the huge superstitious, look to the stars, trust in the gods person that i am, seriously has left me wondering what the f*ck is going on? Have my stars vaporized, god's gone on vacay or lucky rabbit foot gone A-wall?? My luck was yet to be turned around, I like to consider myself a pretty social friendly person but lately been feeling unlikable and pretty bitter,some say the series of hard events that one endures in a lifetime is meant to test you, but lately i feel like they have been breaking me. So to start off 2009 my outfit was recognized in apparel news magazine by my dismay the wonderful editors at ApparelNews put the wrong name caption under the picture...therefore my hard work unrecognized. Next my teacher whom i have spoken about in previous blogs gives me the below mediocracy grade of a fucking C, there is no C in Fabulous, so when i get a C i feel it is below my standards. Next my bank account seems below diminished and my wonderful public relations job pays a far below wonderful pay. So im here at home, sulking in my misery, pennyless, academically disabled, and apparently unlikeable(some classmate told me that surprise to all he is gay, most gay men adore me) So after this atrocious week i only am left to think whats next?

When life give you lemons, paint that shit GOLD!!!!

SO....i've been quite the bad blogger, but can you really blame someone consumed by life? I am nearing the end of one very fabulous stage in my life and embarking on the next. I had my Golden thimble fashion show this past friday dec 12th. Some things went wrong before the show like my make-up artist consumed with models and barely being able to slap on lashes on me 10 min before the show and running to the theater and having to change into my show outfit 3 min before show backstage!!! but when the music started and the stage lights lit up, there was a calming feeling that came over me, i was elated to see my clothing come to life, to have life breathed into them was such a surreal feeling . This semester i think the most impactful thing said to me was by my teacher Ms.Coreas she said.... "you have the potential to be a star kid, you can really make it, but you have so many things to work out, that your going to end your career before it can even begin"....She had a way of building you up and bringing you back down (although deep down i really think she is a fan) that statement may ring in my head for the rest of my life. She believes in me but then again she knows me, i think i have learned more about myself this semester than all 21 years ive known myself. I know the intensity i need to get things done, i cant play around on myspace all day and hope to get discovered by just sitting there, i have very ambitious goals i have set for myself and i know i wont accomplish them by being the kind of designer i use to be. Our fashion show was named roads to success (which sounded more to me like a self help seminar than a fashion show) but i believe i am at the beginning of a long road hopefully not to many twist and turns or wrong ways, but thats all part of this journey, so buckle your seat belts and prepare for one fabulously bumpy ride.....ciao!!!

A PAGE IN HISTORY

So this morning i woke up bright and early to be in line to vote at 7:30 am. It was my first election, i barely missed the deadline for the last election so today was a first. I was excited, and anxious all day, i couldnt fathom the thought of someone like John McCain And Sarah Palin running our country and vowed to move to London if that outcome should occur, Luckily it didn't and for now i am staying put! I was watching the election results on Cnn and during commercials on ABC, I was anxious and emotional, i felt deep inside that our economy was in the shitter and we desperately needed a change not just for me know but for my children and grandchildren. So when the electoral votes were counted and it was a clear landslide victory for Obama i was overwhelmed with emotion. It became more surreal to me when President Barack Obama gave his speech. I had chills run down my spine i was fighting back tears and consumed with emotion, by him being elected it shows America has come along way by the standards we once were conformed by. Not just because he is an African American man but because he opened the door for many other kinds of little boys and girls who might one day have the same opportunity as him and now it is much more of a realistic and obtainable opportunity for them. He speaks with such strong conviction and poise it excites me to anticipate what change he might bring, troops home from iraq, more funding for schools, alternate forms of power and a solution to our dependence on the middle east for gasoline fuel. So cheers to being part of history, participating in history and most importantly MAKING HISTORY!!!Ciao!!!!

Halloweenie: The love technician

So last night me and my firecracker Vietnamese friend Rong went to a Halloween party, since im planing on making a fabulous Gucci knock off and being the fashion police next week i needed a quick fix for a costume, my solution...east L.a. glam chola! Trust it was fabulous!! But the fabulous moment of the night was playing love technician between rong and this hott guitarist named will! See her type is tatted white boy and i happened to spot this cutie while his band was setting up, and quickly pointed him out to Rong. After a little clever maneuver they got to talking and of coarse both were hesitant to ask for each others number but ive always been aggressive when it comes to hunting i mean dating...i believe if you want something you have to be aggressive to get it, before someone else snatches up what you want! So i gave her a pep talk and pushed her out the nest and she asked for his number well we ended up meeting up with him at another party and they really hit things off! I was so over the moon for her, giddy, and felt like i just met a great guy! its this feeling i get from match making maybe i was a love bruja in my past life! Anyways the night ended at 2 am with her getting a lap dance from him!! Of coarse set up by me, and i guess the beer helped too, but it was a fun night, heres a pic, enjoy....till next time ciao lovers!!

Exactly where I am suppose to be

So last night (Sat) we had a goodbye/b-day party for Susie, she is moving to Mexico for awhile in hopes of speeding up her legalization process. The party made me realize how amazing my friends really are! Some crazed Peruvian bi-sexual was hott on Kim and Rosa intervened before Kim was molested by the horney Peruvian! Sounds funny actually was really funny and i hope the day i get molested by a horney bisexual Rosa is there to save me! But it wouldn't be a party without cumbias and tequila! There was also a 2am dip in Susies pool, nothing like swimming in your underwear intoxicated (thank god i shaved yesterday!) As sad as it was to say goodbye to Susie i couldnt think of a more fabulous way to send her off! A budding potential love interest may also be in the works but time will tell where that will lead. Ok so explanation for the headline i was driving home from work today on the 210 and was listening to some 80's song (cant remember the name but it kinda sounds retro electro) anyways i was totally happy, of coarse the delicious sushi lunch i had may have contributed to the good mood oh and the fabulous pair of brown boots i bought may have helped too, but i realized i am in such a good place in my life right now! I am about to embark on a new chapter of my life and Golden Thimble is going great so far, i have wonderful friends, im single but having fun dating, money wise could be better but hey money comes as fast as it goes, and most importantly im happy, happy to have the life i have, the dreams i have, the fabulous chicas in my life i call friends and optimistic about the future. I officially send in my application to F.I.T. Oct 10, thats the lucky date i picked dont know why but its sounds good! oh la la....till the next blog ciao!!!!
