New and Improved


As much as I don't like stereotyping, drama and supporting gossip mills, it seems that the fashion industry sometimes can live up to that perception. The good thing about people talking about you behind your back, is that they are still getting your name out there. It's funny that my personal facebook page is filled with people who have added me, just to keep tabs on what I am doing even though they may not even like me or have not even met me.

When I was younger people not liking me would have been a big deal, but as I progressed as a matured adult, fashion designer and business person I know well enough to know that you have to pick your battles. I like to save my punches for important things like furthering my career, instead of getting caught up in drama that distracts me from my ultimate goal.

I may have too much faith in people to believe that these people who have made it clear that they do not want to work with me, "want nothing to do with my collection," believe what they hear even if they have never met me or have met me and still dislike me will realize that the time they spend talking bad about people is taking away from more productive things they could be doing.

So, to all the haters out there continue to hate and be left behind, while I continue to ignore you and keep moving forward.

These people don't hate you because there's something reasonably hateable about you; they're haters because you've got something they're jealous of. If everyone in the world loves you, then you're doing something wrong. It only means you're not a strong, distinctive enough personality. If you have a strong, distinctive personality, you're going to have haters. Comes with the territory.

You've got a ton of supporters, too. =)

Very true, hehehe I must be doing something right to generate a reaction from people. It's like when I have an opinion on a celebrity, I have never met them, but I am intrigued by their lifestyle. Although, I am not at celebrity level just yet, I am making my way up there hopefully one day soon. Thank you so much Sunny for your words : )
