The first image is a repost, but I wanted to link it to this new image I took the other day. The blinds in my house are translucent - depending on the time of day and the level I’m on, I can see some interesting shapes and colors.
2New photos of my dear friend, Hollis Wong-Wear. Taken in Georgetown, Seattle, WA.

Crescent moon. (Taken with instagram)
1Lately, I have been working on combining elements of things that I like to create a hybrid of sorts. This image is inspired by my love for the fashion icon Twiggy and the one and only Kurt Cobain.
The oh so wonderful Lisa Dank helped me bring this idea to life. The makeup and hair are totally Twiggy inspired and the clothes are inspired by Kurt.

A diptych from my shoot with Ms. Lisa Dank. Check her out, if you have yet to do so!
A look influenced by Bridgitte Bardot with some 80’s/early 90’s influence in there as well. Casually glamorous and sexy at the same time.

Sneak peak of the photo shoot I did with The Flavr Blue! You probably have not heard that name before, and if you have AWESOME! but if you haven’t, you will be hearing it A LOT really soon. STAY TUNED!

The I in Quit
I’m quitting my job at the end of this month and I don’t have another job lined up. All I will have is my savings account and my “creativity”.
I’ve had a job since I was 15 years old and since then have always had the comfort of a constant paycheck. But for the first time in my life, I’m uncomfortable with that.
I am a people person and when I say that I don’t just mean I socialize a lot, I mean I love people! I genuinely love interacting with others and hearing what they have to say. When I ask “how are you?”, I actually mean it! No Seattle Freeze over here…
Or that’s who I used to be anyway, before I started working in customer service.
I was the person who would go out of her way to make the odd person out feel comfortable. To make anyone feel comfortable! To make someone smile or laugh when they were feeling down. Just because.
Most of the jobs that I’ve had in the past four years have involved taking care of people in one way or another. From 2008-2010, I was a caregiver for people with developmental disabilities and I loved that! But eventually the people I cared for became old enough to care for themselves. In 2011, I moved on to working in customer service, which is a whole different realm of care giving. A realm I was not used to. I went from a job where my smile, politeness, and humor were appreciated to a job where all those things were expected.
Even if the person I’m interacting with is being hostile, FOR NO REASON. Even if the person is being completely disrespectful, FOR NO REASON. I’m supposed to be nice because “it’s my job”.
WTF?
To me, kindness and courtesy are GIFTS not things that are just given away to be left on the floor.
I take things too personally, I know.
BUT! I’d rather be who I am than have to serve a bunch of people who don’t care, because in all actuality I REALLY DO FUCKING CARE.
That being said, I Q U I T.
