I've always envied some people for their jobs. I'm not talking about celebrities, because I could care less about being one. But these people my friend, are the true picture of fabulousness, and lucky son of a bitches. If being a doctor doesn't work out for me, these jobs sound pretty good
Fashion Editor At Vogue:
Anna Wintour, this lady is crazy lucky. I mean she the editor in chief at Vogue. This is going to be my favorite job on this list. She gets to go to like every fashion show, she gets to write for vogue, hold fashion shoots, and make a crazy amount of money. Don't you wish you you were her?
Marc Jacobs Fashion Assistant
I don't mean Marc Jacobs coffee and phone assistant. I mean a hands on helper. I would get to work with one of the most talented designers today (in my opinion) and get to attend his shows, get probably a whole bunch of his stuff for free, and go to A list parties with him (haha, that sounds so annoying.)
Editor & Publisher At Rolling Stones:
I'd say I like music as much as fashion, so I would love to work at rolling stones, and publisher (publisher and editor now is Jann S. Wenner, below) sounds fun. I would love to review music I like and talk about. And I could meet hundreds of bands, go to concerts all the time, and well just party like crazy. I mean haven't you seen almost famous, I wish I was the guy. (but not a guy)
Fashion File Host
I love watching Fashion File. It's so much fun, and I get a lot of my fashion knowledge from it. The field host of the show is Jeanne Beker. For an old' gal she still works it. She gets to go to to fashion shows all around the world and critique them. Not only that she always gets to wear designer clothes, and interview designers. So basically what I'm saying she has a fabulous job, that I could only dream about.

The 60's for me are a revolutionary time in fashion, music and art. I'd like to say the 20's,40's or 50's, because they are fabulous era's. But I love the 60's, the whole era is interesting and appealing to me. Here are some of my favorite parts.
Fashion:
Edie Sedgwick
Ball Chair
These things are just cool, forever. They're pretty cheap, andI'vee been planning on getting one, but have never gotten around to it. Anyways, the 60's without lava lamps, are like the 60's without hippies.
Vespa The vespa scooter was originally designed for an alternative and easier way of transportation. The british youth became filled with these , and was a sign of the mods, inspired by music and fashion.

My dear friend Marissa inspired me for this post. We have a 'semi-formal' coming up at school, it'll probably be lame, but hey, it's fun dressing up. Anyways, she has this really nice dress from Le Chateau ( a little black dress) that she wore a while back. But she wants to spice it up, and is probably going give it new flare by adding a high waited belt. I think this is a great idea, and I'll give you a few more.
On the topic, you could add a belt. Not only will it give your simple black dress an extra flare, I'll give you more of an 'body flare' by giving the illusion of a slimer waist. You can also use a scarf, preferably with lots of colours. It'll give great contrast with the black.
Around the straps if your dress you can tie a bow around it, or a strap of sequins, or just a silk strap it you like. It won't change your dress completely but your looking for that little much more. Instead of doing something to the dress, you can do something around it. Accessories can do wonders do an outfit, take something simple to something fabulous. Although forget the usual silver or white you pair with it normally. Try something vibrant that will give it such 'je ne sais quoi' like greens, blues, purples, pinks, etc...
If you're looking to change you dress drastically you can also hem it so there's a slit if you want, you can remove the straps if possible, or make more form fitting by tightening in around the side. If can't do this, just get seamstress, won't cost that much depending on what you get.
Now see you don't need to shell out another +50 dollars to get another dress. Use that simple black dress in the back of your closet that you wore a year or two ago, and make it more to your liking. Haven't you seen 'Pretty In Pink', that's talent.
Yes, unfortunately our school has a high chance of getting uniforms in the near feature. As sad as getting uniforms, they're going to be sooo bad. It's not like school girl, school boy uniforms. They're going to be disgusting golf shirts that are green red and frumpy pants. They think this is a better idea because 'us teens' would think it's cooler. NO IT'S NOT. At least regular, classic uniforms can give us some pride and would make the school seem somewhat classy. All I know is that I'd take a skirt and tie over a extra large red and green golf shirt and black frumpy pants, any day
