In a New York Minute

On the Street in Front of Madison Square Park

New York, USA

I am going home so soon, it's insane.  In a month I'll be back in New York taking classes.

That, with my entrance into Polka Dot's amazing May Day competition (for which you can vote for me HERE)  reminded me that I had another blog once. A fashion blog.  I did it last spring, and revived it this september, then let it go again.  In celebration of May Day, and my wanting to shed some winter pounds and pump up the style, it's back.  Posts will probably be infrequent until I return to the US, but I want to get a start on it. For a look, just click on the picture below.  

(Yes, it is the one on this page as my ID photo, and yes, it's the same place where Fancy a Game? was taken)

And two quick updates.

First off... I finally got 400 page hits.  Yay!  A bit lame for having the blog for three monthes, but I didn't update for a month, so really I should stop complaining.

Also, this thing suddenly appeared (I probably accidentally changed a setting or something) where you can vote whether you think my post (photograph) is cool, interesting, or funny.  Have a nice time with that.

Thanks!

Now for the selfish, shameless ploy.

One of my favourite blogs to read is Pics by Polka Dot.  Photography and travel are only two of my interests.  Fashion has always been a major one for me (with acting, of course, being number one).  Before I came to London, I started searching for some good London Street Style blogs, to know what the general trends were here.  I tend to choose my outfits based on what I like and find to be attractive, not just current trends, but I would be lying if I said that the work of major designers and the street trends of the moment don't influence what I do.  

Anyways... There is a contest to win "May Day Princess" or something like that.  I sent in a photo of me, wearing one of my favourite outfits, in a pose that I think helps to express who I am.  Someone artistic, maybe a tad bit gothic at times, but who is sassy and fun.  Winner of this competition gets a photo shoot.  Dream come true.

SO.  Here's how to help me.  If you have a facebook, and think that I deserve to win this contest, go  HERE and click "like" at the bottom of the photo.  Whoever has the most people like their photo, wins the contest.  I would be unbelievably excited to win this.  Honestly, it would make my life.

Here's the photo I posted:

No need to let me know if you voted or not.  And, if you don't think I deserve it, don't vote for me.  Vote for someone else.  This is no dictatorship.

Thanks and keep enjoying the posts :)

A New Direction

Well, I have obviously been very lazy about all of this.

Life has gotten quite busy, and I have let this blog slide.  I think it slid all the way off the edge, unfortunately.

In order to salvage it, I am deciding to take this blog in an entirely new direction.

I don't really have time to type in a detailed description of everything that I do, and honestly, a lot of the things that I do.... are not that fascinating.  So, instead, I will post a photograph of something that I have seen, with a quick description of what it is you are seeing, and where it was taken.

Enjoy!!

I start you off with two photographs, actually.
