Let's Play Catch-Up...

It feels like I've been wiped off the face of the blogosphere for the past couple of weeks; they've been hectic, yet wonderful and terrible simultaneously.
Alas, my summer vacation (which rarely included relaxation) has come to an end and I'm back in high school for my junior year, which is pretty much the most stressful year of school-with all the testing and scrambling to take the right classes, looking for scholarships, finding the perfect college for moi- but whatever, I'm not going to bore with you with those things, but attempt to excite you with some more a few things.
The first time I was on TV ->click<-, it was right after last school year ended, and you all were wonderful with your warming comments. I find it almost too coincidental that the 2nd and most recent time I made a television appearance aired the day before this school year started-but maybe that's just me over thinking.
Anyhoo, this time, VOX's founder and Executive Director and I visited another Atlanta morning show, JJ On Atlanta . Unfortunately, I can't find the video, but I have pictures!

Random wall I stared at while waiting in the green room


Lights! camera! action, the set:


So, umm,Yeah. Anyhoo...
On the first day of school, I wanted to wear something similar to the Olivia Palermo look in my "Chocolate Craving" section but I didn't, I went for something a little more...well, frilly. That was inspired by this past creation




As you can see, I haven't mastered the "blogger pose" quite yet...but tell me what you think. Any advice? Also...let's play catch up; what've you been up to?

(Super) Natural?

It's so great that I can turn this blog into something good because I get a grade for it in one of my classes, so when I'm on the net and my parents complain I can say"hello, it's a grade!" And in that same class I get to write about fashion and style in addition to writing for it at another newspaper. I have so many plans for my section! (or maybe I should say our because I have a partner...) But I'd like to call it the "Jaguar Trend Report" (in honor of our mascot) or the Fashion Fix or something creative
Speaking of fashion in school, Gossip Girl premiered this Monday and (gasp) I missed it because I was out shopping. But whatever, it's whatever. ...But I can't wait to actually see what happens this season because I heard Michael Kors is guest-starring and it would be great to see him on tv besides on Project Runway.I'm obsessed with the dresses and fur coats from his fall/winter 08/09 collection.

During Labor Day weekend, I slept over my cousin's other cousin's house. Even though half the people there were strangers to me seeing as how we're distantly related and the next youngest person there was my brother,almost 19, I felt so comfortable and I had so much fun with them. But one of them told me about this called Blink. He explained that it's great for marketing so I should read it but also, it gives you another way of thinking. Thinking about things like natural phenomena which might seem unexplained, but nowadays it slowly makes sense to me.

This isn't meant to offend anyone because the following events are tragedies and I hope for the best for all victims but
  • Hurricane Katrina- New Orleans (I heard) was like sin city, you know with all the voodoo and the Mardi-Gras x-rated activities, so for something to come and completely wipe out the city, couldn't have been all coincidental.
  • The China earthquake, I don't mean to be a Sharon Stone but what if it was because of the whole "free Tibet" thing...?
Am I right? Am I being a cynic or am I completely off?

Whatever...can't wait for next Monday... : )
