The Fashionable Child Who Writes Becomes the Fashion Writer
As a child I was quite the fashion-loving diva, especially when it came to my hair. Fits and screams over how my mom’s braids were not tight enough, she hurt my head when she brushed 
my hair, and her updos had lumps, resulted in my having super short hair for most of my childhood. Although I still managed to get multiple (and I do mean multiple) ponytails into my Dorothy Hamill cut, I turned my attention to clothes even more.
The other thing that I vibrantly remember about myself as a child (aside from the fact that I genuinely thought I would be randomly discovered as a superstar singer), is that I loved to write. I wrote a letter to the first President Bush (which up until last year I thought my mom had mailed to him) on triple-lined, learn-to-write paper in elementary school. It is one of the first things that I remember writing, and one of the first school assignments that I remember getting excited about.
I no longer write about politics, unless you count my animal rights activism, and I no longer wear more than two ponytails at a time. I do, however, still love to write and love fashion - hence this blog.
There are not many things that I have enjoyed since I was young - my body gave up on gymnastics, I got bored with Barbies, and I no longer believe that someone will spontaneously ask me if I want to be a singing sensation (I confess I do occasionally pose for all of the possible modeling agents walking by).
But writing and fashion … the two will always be in life in some way, until the day I write my will and pick out my burial outfit.
