Polish, Opportunities, and Love Lost

So far I've made progress in my goals. I've been asked to be the fashion Contributor to UC's newspaper, The Newsrecord, which to me is huge news. i bought my very first copy of Vogue Collections, which happens to be Spring/Summer 2011. Its been a good couple of weeks. There have been some down spots however. The amazing paper i wrote for my Women's Studies class received a less than amazing review. I had to do deplorable things in order to pay the bill at my school that I now wish I would've thought about more thoroughly. BUT that's all water under the bridge that I'm burning intentionally. No going back to where i was in life, its about progression.

This OPI polish from the Katy Perry Collection is my absolute love at that moment... Painting it over what ever color you have on your tips gives it the look of destructed black paint showing color underneath. I paint it on very think so the crack are minimal but you can paint it on as thin or as thick as you like. I kinda wish they had other colors than just the black... a white over a pale pastel orange would look amazing for spring.

So my lil heart has experienced confusion and breakage before. This past WEEK... i became infatuated with a single father. For some reason the fact that he spent so much time with his son made me feel like he could offer the same affection to me. I was way in over my head. Its taken about 6 or seven hours for me to get the notion outta my head that we could be anymore than friends. I probably will be jealous when he starts seeing someone else or giving someone that attention i coveted but i'll get over it... I'm seeing that i need someone who will value me as the center of their world... also it stems from my daddy issues... Sense of abandonment, trust issues, and blah blah blah... i need to first graduate from College before i try to settle down with some dude.. Haha as always

Love, Barbie

New School, Revamped aspirations, and (of course) a MAN!

I was out of commission for the longest time. I left Akron to pursue my Visual Merchandising career. Took sometime off from school to analyze and think about what it is i want from life. Really HOW i want to live my life and where i want it to go. i found a passion in Art History and declared it my newest (& final!) major. I returned to my city to do this. I returned to 715 continued to style customers and show their up most potential. I also started to develop my passion for Makeup. One of my resolutions for 2011 is to create a makeup portfolio that i can show off and be proud of.

Which brings me to the MAN.... But for once its not me being boy crazy. Nathan Hurst is the founder and owner of CIncinnati Fashion Week, and while i may have failed at being one of the originating volunteers the powers that may be have dropped the opportunity in my lap. While during a brief stint at 715, Mr. Hurst asked me to use my "connections" at MAC Cosmetics to maybe ignite a partnership betweenst them and CFW, and procure a sponsorship. And whilst i was unable to get sponsorship...AS OF YET... I see myself working with CFW maybe as a Beauty Consult or something of that nature.

Well as that bout sums everything up. Somethings are in the works that i decline to speak about as of right now, but be expecting big things from BARBIE!

Love Bryn
