In the beginning, I thought I would start with a fashion blog. I came up with a really hip pseudonym (or what I thought I was a really hip pseudonym) and wrote in my profile that I am from LA. I figured that if my "fans" read that I am from LA, and I "wrote" about fashion in my blog, they would also assume that I'm friends with the Olsen twins, study kabbalah with Madonna (drink the overpriced kabbalah water, wear the red string bracelet... the whole nine yards), and get seated next to Rachel Zoe as I enjoy my lunch at the Ivy everyday.
However, after trying to write two detailed blogs about clothes that I bought, I realized I am far more suited at writing about my life (and by "write," I mean complain and bitch as much as possible) and that I pretty much suck at writing about fashion (although I am extremely gifted at memorizing the 16 digit of my sibling's credit card along with the 3 digit cid, I am not good at distinguishing between 2000 different shades of blue). Also, although I am completely in love with myself, and cannot fathom why others would not want to dress like me, I've come to realize that there are 1000s of blogs today that are dedicated to fashion, and some of them are actually written by industry "insiders," which I am certainly not (and I refuse to go all James Frey on my readers' ass). So, the editors at Men's Vogue, Details, and all the other men's magazines geared toward metrosexuals or gays-in-denial can now breathe a little bit easier, knowing their jobs are not in jeopardy (for now. I might get inspired once again in a few weeks, and decide that I am destined to be the next Andre Leon Talley, which usually happens every time I make a significant purchase with my credit card).
So, let's call this a do-over, a make-over: blogger.com edition. I'm going to try to update every other day, but i make no guarantees as my life is not that exciting.
