I don't have any current gigs! Some personal shopping and designing being done for a certain someone's going away present, along with some accessory designing. But other than that, I feel like everyother "stylist" in NYC, and believe me there are plenty to go around.
I have ideas...I need to have them shot asap! Any good photog's that want to shoot soon? I have some awesome clothes from my peeps at BRZE that need to be seen!
I hate having this feeling inside. Like the creative me is in hiding even though its really not! I have resulted to posting again on craigslist...let's hope it doesn't get jacked again!
I am going to harass all of the agencies again. Oh and I'm going after the stylists too! This rant I am on seems to occur about every few months or so. Its hard out here for a fashionista such as myself. Its all in who you know and what you can do for them. I can do a lot...duh! But give me the chance. I would settle for an a low paying gig with an agency stylist or at a mag. Well as long as there is room for advancement.
Sidebar: When I was coming home last night from the night gig, the crew from law and order were still out shooting parts for an episode. They have been in the hood for two days...the story is about a boy who gets gunned down by the cops. Umm, how ironic...that happened on the other end of my block in the begining of the week. But anyway, the first PA I saw, I immediately asked for the costume designer. The PA goes, why are you a stylist? I say, but of course. The PA says, I can tell! Everyone seems to say that but can you all who can seem the "tell" I'm a stylist tell the rest of the world so that I can make some money! Either way, I passed my card along to those in the wardrobe truck. The young lady said "I promise to give it to the designer." Thanks ma, but I don't need promises, I need results! Hey, I did my part. Pray for me guys!
So, at this time. Its day two of me writing this. I am still a little down but my mom said everyone has their off days when they are feeling down...in non mom words...s**t happens! To comfort myself today(yesterday I treated myself to a green tea latte...oh I forgot I got that for free!) To some retail therapy. Two dresses(one silver and brown sequin...hott!), a scarf and some gloves. I felt better when I was charging it to the game, but then when I thought "what will I eat for dinner?" The rush was gone.
Sigh! The life of an artist, a woman, ME!
Dueces!
Sequin "Just one of those days" Dot!
