You use fashion, they use music but I use words

Last week at my lovely job I met...ummm who did I meet? OH YEAH!!!! Corey Shapiro of Vintage Frames. He is very wealthy. Not exactly the nicest person but I think he is one of those people who see what they want and they take it they don't ask and thats why he is so successful. And he is REALLY successful. But he is a cool cat. Today I kinda met Machine Gun Kelly's manager and some of his peeps. They were really nice. A little weird about a rival brand I couldn't really hear because my eavesdropping skills are not on point but they were talking about a competing brand and how they fucked up with MGK yo no se.

I've been noticing my lack of focus and my work ethic becoming very shitty lately. Really it all started freshman year and it has just been escalating. The awful part is that I notice it and don't do anything about it. I keep saying I'm going to change but I haven't. I've become too comfortable and I think I need a change. At first I wanted to leave LA for relationship problems, which really wasn't enough to get me to actually want to leave. But now I see leaving will get me out of my comfort zone. Yes I'm tired of this 'grind' and I see no end in sight but I know its hard work to get to where I want to go and being at this internship just solidifies that. All this people are working so hard. And they don't ever stop working hard no matter how much success they have or how much they've "made it." It is a sad reality but its a price I'm willing to pay to get my message out there. Never give up on your dreams <3

A new leaf or new life

Last week I started my internship and it was amazing. Within the first two days I met some pretty cool people. On Thursday Billy Sorrel from "Shit Black Girls Say" came in to do a photo shoot. After about 5 minutes in front of a red screen he decided to take his shoes off and run into the streets to oncoming traffic. Needless to say he was crazy and hilarious. He just sat barefooted in the middle of the street. His impeccable reasoning for removing his socks and shoes is as follows: people are just so much more comfortable once you've taken your shoes off!
Clearly.

On Friday The Game was suppose to come in but he got caught up writing a song and sent his assistant/stylist lady who was incredibly nice and helpful to the brand. Its really cool seeing people being friendly and people who know they have the power to help you to actually offer help not just get free clothes.
Which brings me back to my Blake. He sat me down and asked me my dreams and aspirations...jk jk he asked me why I wanted this internship. I explained how lost I was that I don't ever want to stop writing but I want to try and use it in other fields like fashion and music. Surprisingly enough his brother is in the music industry and his parents have published books. I think I just became one of the luckiest people in the world. I have this great opportunity to network with a ton of important people, who I'm sure need some things written, like blogs, or interviews and I can offer my skills. Network network network! Where have I heard that before? At least this soRAWRity taught me some good life skills, not just raising my alcohol tolerance ;]
