Blog about the shows during the fashion weeks. And why the heck have I mostly not blogged ‘t all?! (With just one post on a show, and nothing about my Marc Jacobs!!!)
I'm sick of it. What's expected, what's done by everyone ... and like our current subtitle reads, a basic issue with the “style-us quo.” It's no good excuse, really, I know. But I couldn't bring myself, somehow, to do it.
And why not just blog about other things? Possibly the guilt of not doing what I should be doing ... and probably the fact that runway shows are unavoidable.
I don't even really support my decision ... I'm just burnt out - yes, burnt out from past years. Back when I covered as much as possible while attending college. With that issue behind me, what the fab is my un-fabbing problem??!
I'm working on thinking of creative alternatives to mass-produced, media-marketed, model-splayed, over-saturation of the mundane and force-fed. Posts in the near future (not long term 100%) will feature the anti all-that. See what's caused my ill-feelings toward prêt-a-porter is my resurrection of crafting and designing bags after being moved into my apartment enough to justify the extra time spent. Recently, I've taken up my destiny-craft; weaving, and it's allowing me to work faster and I feel confident I can produce purses on a regular basis from now on. Even though I make negative money from it so far, it's what I really-really-really wish I could be doing full time.
And that interest in indie flows into almost every part of my life, which causes a desire to blog differently. Yet I know that's not what my long-time — and new-discoverers through old-style posts — want. I need to maintain a balance, and most importantly, just publish. It is my hope I can do it regularly again.
As for the past few weeks, I'm sure many of you understand my woes. Anyone feel similarly?
