When I Grow Up I Wanna Be Famous, I Wanna Be A Star...

Bonne soirée

"HUH?!" has a makeover I think it's possible I'm growing up, I'll stop typing while you call the press.............

Good?

Okay so I have had NO idea what to blog about lately, but recently my young life and what damn direction I'm going to take it in is becoming a constant plague on my fragile mind. So instead of drowning my sorrows in bottles of champagne and watching Tiffany's on a loop, I'm going to dump all of my insecurities on you World Wide Web YAY!!!!

Onward we go then, as a young woman in her late teens I feel a suffocating amount of pressure to try and figure out in a span of four year what the hell I'm going to do with the next FIFTY YEARS OF MY LIFE!! I'm starting to look like poor Norma Desmond, slowly slipping into madness for a completely different reason.

"I'm ready for my close up Mr. Demille"

In all seriousness though, I've dreamt for years of being a Screenwriter/Director, being able to conceptualize a story and bring it to life, following the likes of Billy Wilder, Woody Allen, Quentin Tarantino, Sofia Coppola.. and really the list goes on and on. Men and women with extraordinary vision that bring to life stories that came from imagination. I could gush about Coppola alone for hours. The way her art films parallel her own Hollywood royal life. She admits freely that quite a lot is based on the people that surround her, even if the charicature isn't exactly flattering (she admits that the neglectful husband John in Lost in Translation is a mean-spirited portrayal of ex-husband Spike Jonze) but that's slightly off topic. What I'm trying to get at is when you're a little kid everyone is constantly reaffirming that you can be anything you want to be, but when you get older it becomes apparent that following through with your dreams isn't as easy as wishing, hoping, and praying.

Do you know how many pages the average movie script is? 120.  Mhmm, yeah. Which is hunky dory, so you write a full length feature, but what if it isn't any good? No one likes it... and you have to do it all over again, new concept, new characters. See what I mean? I'm slowly but surely losing it. Where's the Dom Pérignon? What have I gotten myself into? A life set up for failure. Maybe I should just do ass my mother says and become a librarian. OR OR I can perservere. Believe in my dream and, well, what I guess what all this rambling was getting towards was:

اتبع قلبك

Follow Your Heart

What I'm slowly beginning to realize is that all the Harvard professors and parental barbing in the world can't teach me passion. That most people feel that growing up is forgetting everything we really want and settling for what others feel we should want. I think that dreams keep the creative soul alive. In another way if your parents told you that you couldn't be with the one you love because they think there's someone out there that you don't like as much but probably offers more financial security, I highly doubt you'd listen.

I sure as fuck wouldn't.

I'm afraid to become an adult without dreams

Does your regional bimbo believe in climate change?

Apparently meteorologists are collectively starting to debunk the theory of global warming. Really? Meteorologists, I don't know about you but my family's weatherman is a bimbo with big tits who use to be on telemundo. She wants to start a debate with Andrew Weaver?  9 out of 10 climatologists are shitting their pants but the local former spanish soft porn actress who stands in front of a green screen playing the guessig game for a living who got an M. A. from communtiy college thinks it's all bullshit. My father's adoration of Consulela's ass is strong, but he like every other Homo Sapien with a fully functioning brain is going to take the word of the Nobel Prize winning climatologist everytime. Mostly because his beloved overly made up bimbo keeps telling him it's going to snow tommorow ( in greater los angeles none the less)    

School is like tough n' stuff

College is not all it's cracked up to be, it fact College is just High School with more expensive books College Is Worse (I have the mascara tear stains to prove it)

1. Your Prof. just assigned you this book and you are suppose to have read it, and written a 4000 word essay on it my 8:00a.m. tommorow morning (that is on top of all the other homework you have)

2. You just realized that half of this bloody book is written in Latin

3. SERIOUSLY?! this stupid book isn't on SparkNotes, there are no matches for it on Google, and you called some of your classmates and they are just as fucking confused and terrified as you are.

I'm living in the future so the present is my past, my presence is a present kiss my ass

I realize that the new Spring 2011 looks are very Mad Men inspired (to which I do not object. With all this Jersey Shore nonsense about I think it's about time we brought classy back). Yet I feel my style for fall leaning slightly bohemian (my general style tends to be verious interpratations on preppy casual - conservative) While I still adore the likes of Marni and Prada, and my heart leaps up when I behold anything and everything Marc Jacobs (I almost fainted when I saw his latest for Louis Vuitton. BEAUTIFUL! SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL! But for me impractical. You can't me accident prone and wear a $900 cashmere sweater set and stillettos,You just can't. I'm also happen to be a student) I think the lines that really spoke to me this season would be Ralph Lauren, and Michael Kors.

RALPH - The white wash of the collections this season put me, a notorious spiller, slightly off but this outfit with it's clean simple mix of a classic button down with the tasselled skirt. Chic yet fuctional. I'll probably trade the strappy sandles for some sturdy ankle boots (like the Alexander McQueen ones below) Much more practical if one need to be running around campus all day.

MICHAEL KORS - Bullocks! You're about to be late for class! What to do? What to wear? You're not about to show up to Economics in your pajamas, your hair a disaster, especially since there are so many hansome potential bankers, stockbrokers, and lawyers sitting around you (one of which you heard could possibly be a Rockefeller). Here is what you do you grab this Kors dress, the below Christian Louboutin flats ( they're just as comfy as your bunny slippers, but much chicer and they're less likely to start questions about your state of mental health), throw that hair up in a high ponytail, brush your damn teeth (you're independent now, not an animal even if you do party like one). And you know what, a little mascara wouldn't kill you either. What? You didn't get home until 3 a.m. Party with frat boys all you want, but don't expect to look fresh faced and the 21st Century's Jacqueline Bouvier the next morning.



MULBERRY - New Favourite. everything sent down the runway was so gorgeous, and totally fuctional AND all the models were sent down the runway wearing fabulous red wigs (which I think is about time knowing one noteable doll of a redhead, whom I'm fortunate enough to call my best friend) I personally am not great with

mono-chromatics. so instead of the powder blue ankle boots I'd go for the  

Cole Haan Suede Wedges (left)



DOLCE & GABBANA -

Just like Ralph Lauren, Dolce was  a sea of white but a

breezy leopard print, lace trimmed maxi-dress that I'll

 be wearing with simple Marc Jacobs flats came sailing down the runway and I was taken. Viva Romance.

DSQUARED2 - As a girl on the go I loved Dsquared2's cheeky menswear inspired line. Unlike a lot of its peers this line is exactly what is suppose to be, Ready to wear. The stand out for me was this brown crocodile print jacket. Throw it over a plain white tee, dark wash jeans and these ruby red Tod's flats, grab your Macbook and get your ass to class.

MENS WEAR:

Three Words: Band of Outsiders.

That name right there IS modern menswear.

Statement made out of personal bias and

prefference to preppy men? Maybe. But I think

ZZ Top said it best,

"every girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man."

I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination

The clear blue skies have put me in a good mood, so I put together a playlist of songs to listen to while sailing
