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!!!
