and another one bites the dust.

another month down, and the funny thing. i didn't blog enough to make it worth it. so here i am. with a dilemma. do i continue on and move forward, give you a quick update of my month? do i re-do this past month, because despite having accomplished pieces of it, i still have much to go? do i recognize that this year may have a few hiccups, but that sort of is the point? or do i apologize and bow out?

well, i can answer the last for sure. i'm not a quitter. and even typing the question didn't feel right. so, i'll leave the rest of these questions for you to decide. text me, write me, tumblr question me. the most votes will win. i can go any which way at this point. i'm not limiting this journey. but i will let you help to control its fate.

tonight, i'll reorganize my kitchen cupboards and brainstorm my next goal. that way, no matter what you pick, i have something to give you tomorrow evening.

if you have to cry, go outside.

in warning, if you notice more quote posts than normal, it's because i'm re-reading kelly cutrone's first book in honor of my work month. it's half autobiography half career self help, but all sorts of interesting. kelly, if you don't know, is the founder of a fashion public relations, branding, and marketing firm called People's Revolution. she is also known for the occasional appearance on the hills and the city, trying to whip the ladies of "reality" into high fashion PR shape. for a quick second Bravo cameras were following her from NYC to LA through her own show Kell on Earth. she works with some of fashion's biggest brands, such as valentino, vivienne westwood, jeremy scott, bulgari, and more. i found her on the hills. she was mean. aggressive. and looked like she'd just walked out of a punk concert that she was far too old to be attending. after watching her for awhile i realized, she wasn't actually mean at all. this woman has a crazy talent for public relations and branding. the proper word is blunt. she tells it like it is and if you don't like what she's saying, she's got the goods to back it or you can walk away. she lives for her career and her daughter. she's had a whirlwind of a life, but doesn't believe in conforming her vision for anyone. that includes her own appearance. in the world of fashion, you have to look the part. unless you own People's Revolution. anyway, i know i'll blog later about my favorite chapter in the book. but for now, sit back and enjoy her random quotes of wisdom. i don't know... sometimes she says the darndest things.
