Dedicated to Mondo Guerra!

Being a Colorado native, I was excited to see a designer from Denver, CO competing on Project Runway's latest season. At first I said to myself, "okay, this designer is from my hometown- no matter how bad they are I will support them no matter what!" Then, I was introduced to Mondo Guerra- The Funky one of the bunch! It was before I saw his first design that I knew I was going to like him. He himself is a work of art. From his ever-changing glasses, to his shorts and knee high socks, and sculpture like hair do's, he made fashion FUN. Then came his designs- bold colorful patterns that easily reflected their creator. I agree with his visions and I believe in his ability to present those visions flawlessly (so far he has). But behind this designer is a genuine person and that's what I love about him the most. As you watch PR, never do you see Mondo's ego take the best of him. Even when on the chopping block, all Mondo could say, with a smile, was "Oh well." It was great to see Mondo appreciate and respect his fellow contestant, Michael C. when nobody else could even congratulate the guy when he won a challenge. And most recently, it was an exciting and emotional moment when Mondo won the L'Oreal challenge that included the $20,000 cash prize (I would've shed a tear if my boyfriend wasn't in the room haha). All in all, I wish Mondo Guerra the best of luck and thank him for showing the world DENVER HAS TALENT AND DENVER HAS STYLE!

Sheer biker shorts

Naturally...

Found a great benefit from having long, teased, curly hair- LESS MAKEUP REQUIRED! I have this new fascination where I don't wash my hair (you can still take showers and not wash your hair) and I just knot it up and make it as big as possible everyday. It's working out great :). And now I barely apply any makeup because there's enough going on that makeup would only make me look ... gawdy? I'm not sure but I enjoy how simple getting ready in the morning is.

Oh yeah, and I went to the new Forever21 today! It is two stories and has a lot to browse through. Poor men, they only got a corner of one level haha. I got a few things which, due to buyers regret, is stressing me out.

Anyways, our friends' band is having a show tonight so I am waiting around for that to start. Have a good night world!

Riot Rhythem - Sleighbells

Found these "crochet-like" shorts at Buffalo Exchange the other day. Funny thing is I took clothes to sell and instead just bought something and made no money at all. Haha. Right now just waiting for 8pm so I can go out for some drinks. Listening to some amazing music! Right now I am all about The XX, Sleighbells, We Are Wolves, The Radio Dept, and The Helio Sequence- to name a few (very few). Ahhh music! :)

Wannabe Loner

I'm discovering that I have a lot of passion and creativity- passion and creativity that I seem to unconciously shove under the rug in order to focus on my social life. Why do I do that? My social life is going no where. I only end up getting wasted and fighting with someone. Blah...I'm really bummed on myself right now.

It may sound weird to those who know how to balance their social life but sometimes I feel that I need to become a loner for a few months to really discover what I can do. I need to seclude myself from everyone and just sit in my apartment and work on something! Figure out the crazy ways I can entertain myself and possibly discover a talent! I mean, I already have ideas on what I want to do- mainly experiment with a bass guitar and write songs.

I just feel that I'm not digging deep enough into my subconscious. I'm only scrapping the top outer layer which gives me nothing to work with and instead of continuing to scrape away, I end up giving up.

I may not be there yet, but I feel myself changing for the better. I feel myself drifting away from the desire to party every night and instead work on what really matters to me, my musical career :). It's been an interest my whole life, so maybe once I let go and open my creative gates it will just flow...flow into order.

FYI: Listening to The Radio Dept. Radio Station on Pandora.com. LOVE IT!

"This is my life"

Just watched The Runaways and I have to say I think it was great! The acting was believable, the story was great, and the filmography was creative. Also, got a lot of inspiration out of the outfits. Can't find a picture but I loved the flowy-one-shoulder blouse/dress in the scene where Cherie practices her audition song in her bedroom. So pretty! Not only that but I'm starting to kick my ass into taking bass playing seriously. My boyfriend and I jammed at his practice space last night! I love it! I hope that I keep up with it and not get lazy or distracted. It's really what I want to do. <3

...Look From a Few Days Before the Last Post

Wore this to a fashion show my friend was in. I got there at 5 and watched all the models get ready for 6 hours. They didn't go on until 11 or 12. I did enjoy it though. It was an experience for me! As you can see I found black wedges!! They're great (besides the 2 spills I've already taken in them and the lovely scrap on my knee). The dress is from Forever21. I can't wait because next Saturday on July 31st the Denver Forever 21 XXI is opening on 16th Street Mall. It's going to be two stories! Just what we needed. :) Well better go to sleep soon, I work all day tomorrow and hope to still go out after. Goodnight <3
