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 ;]
