I am writing this blog at the apple store while I am waiting to be seen for my iphone that is broken every other day. It great being across the country and not being able to call anyone! I am fully convinced that I curse any electronic device that I touch. I think people are looking at me weird because I am on a PC in the apple store.

I thought I would write a little bit about how my internship is going and how I am adjusting to California. I think that a lot of people have a perception of Hollywood or the area I am living in because everything they hear and read in Magazines. Hollywood could not be further from the glitz and glam- It is differently city living. I live 3 miles from Hollywood, so I am able to get away from the craziness but its still a bit rough around the edges around my place too. The thing that gets me is all the bums- I think I have a sign on my back that say “please ask me for money because I am too scared to say no”!

I have been out here for just about a month now and I really have mixed feelings. If you ask me mom, everyday it is either I hate it or I like it (not love it) haha. But one thing I do LOVE is the fashion out here- it is incredible. If I could bottle the fashion up and take it back to Florida; I would in a minute, well that is because I miss being so close to the beach. And of course the shopping is amazing too.

I don’t regret anything that happened with my first internship but I don’t think I am done considering styling as a whole. The situations I was put into when I was working with the celebrity stylist was not what I expected but I defiantly am not going to cross styling of my list forever. I think one of the major problems with the styling industry right now and a lot of the fashion industry is the horrible economy. Just like everywhere else, everyone is really feeling it out here and I think it was not the best time to test the waters. In general, Hollywood is dead right now. Stylists that were making around $10,000 for a day shoot of let’s say a CD cover, are now making around $1,000.

Soooo right now I am working for a Fashion PR firm. We work with the designers to get there products out into the media, on celebrities and in the public eye. The firm is also a showroom, so we have all the garments from the designer’s current collections. We help plan events and fashion shows, we do out reaching to celebrities and publications. Also stylists come in and borrow clothes from the showroom for celebrity clients or editorial shoots. We also send out garments to magazines all over the place for fashion spreads or shots. When the stylist come into the showroom to do pulls, I always start thinking about if I made the right decision with quitting my first internship but I still have a lot of time to think about what I want to do and I will meet a lot of good contacts with this internship as well.

To tell you the truth- I have a deep love for fashion or maybe it’s an obsession but I really never thought that I had to guts to up and move out to LA. My brother didn’t think I was going to do it until the day I actually left. And I miss my family everyday but I think it is making me stronger everyday that I am out here. I have seen some crazy stuff that I never thought I would see with my two eyes but I am going to see where this adventure is going to take me, even if it isn’t going exactly how I planned it would go:)

First off- If I see one more guy that is dressed as a girl, I think I am going to die. I was walking into work the other day and I hear someone yell “ It’s a Man”, so I look up and this man was strutting his stuff harder than Tyra Banks on the cat walk, dressed as a women. I really just had to let out a loud laugh. Maybe it is a common thing in LA to cross dress- who knows? That same day, they were filming a movie in front of where I work and I ran into Wilmer… (the guy from That 70’s show). He is really short- I had heals on and we were the same height.

So I ended up quitting my first internship with the celebrity stylist and starting working at the Fashion PR firm. Things were not going well with the stylist, so I decided not to waste my time stressing over it. Everything is going well at the PR firm but it is verrrry busy because LA fashion week is coming up shortly. I really hope Lauren Conrad is appreciating all this slave work I am doing for her fashion show hahaha.

Here is some pictures that I have taken here and there.

This picture below is a deadly spider that hangs out on our pouch. I don't want to slap at it and then it get in the apartment but it is to big to kill, so for the mean time it is just building a bigger web. (Brad and Pat- if you saw this spider, you would have been at the top of the Moutain screaming for Sam to come kill it)

Here is a couple of picture from going out


I look a bit sleepy, prob. because it is way passed my bedtime haha. People don't even go out until 11 here and apparently stay out all night long.

I went down to New Port again the other day to see my friend Jenny and we went shopping (of course) and to Huntington Beach. I wanted to see some Hot surfer boys-JK! But it is entertaining to watch people try to surf. Just take a look at this picture below- I think someone took a bit of a fall

HOW FUNNY IS THAT PICTURE!

In the picture below- Look at tha haze! Cali's air is soooo nasty! You can't even see down the beach
