I’m so inspired by the Rockstar Diaries, Hip Tranquil Chick, Naturally Nina, and Pennyweight Online blogs. I want this blog to inspire others like theirs inspire me. But I’m not super Internet savvy, and I’m not indie rock chick. I want to be indie rock chick, but the fashion doesn’t suit me. I’m better in some nice work trousers and cute, work appropriate tops and jackets. Not ever ever ever an actual suit, but the pieces. Skinny jeans don’t work on me because I’m not, and I’ve never had much luck at vintage shops- apparently the women of old didn’t have my body. Actually, I think it’s more the proprietors of the vintage shops that don’t have my body, because my grandma had some rockin‘ clothes back in the day that I had no problem pilfering. But anyway- I want to be inspiring. I want to post my photography and have other people grab it and go. I want to have my blog linked to by other people- not because I’m so super cool, but because it is somehow inspiring to them. I want to be inspiring to my daughter as she gets older. She seems to have a bit of an art streak in her- I want to encourage that as much as possible, without pushing her in a bad way.

My book will be published by December 3, 2011. Wow- that’s coming up quick. I need to get writing!
