The "object" in the mirror are closer to her dream than it may appear!!

Although I am a very humble person, I must say that I am very proud of myself. Last week I applied to be a local artist wardrobe stylist. I made Top 5 out of 40 people who also signed up. First we had to fill out a Q & A form to tell a little about ourselves and why we want to be this artist's stylist. Yea I made it through that!! Next, the applicants had to create outfits that would best fit the scenario of the artist's performance. We were given a budget for each store where we were supposed to "shop". I passed that test and made it to the phone interview with her PR/ Manager. We spoke for a little over 20 minutes, and I was asked to attend the final interview where the artist will select her stylist based off the entries submitted. I will receive a email either today and tomorrow, to meet the local artist and manager face to face Thursday or Friday. Wish me luck!!


Here are my sets that I submitted:


Target- $100



I thought that I did very well on this outfit for just $100 Target has a wider selection, that made it easier for me to complete the set a lot quicker.

Express/Ninewest- $300



The Express/Ninewest was the most difficult and frustrating to me, the selection was very limited and the pieces that I wanted were not in the budget. The sites didn't even have a good pair of gold earrings for me to pair with this outfit. Although this isn't my most spectacular combo. I am somewhat satisfied with the outcome.


Nordstrom- $500


This maxi dress is actually my most favorite combo. I just kept it simple, an empire waist maxi with gold accessories. When ask why I created this, I told the PR that i wanted her outfit simple and chic so that the audience wouldn't be distracted by a loud colorful outfit. This set is actually for the artist's bluesy and soulful tune. I call this the "Encore" dress, saved for the last and most sweetest song off her album.

The Urban Socialite

The traditional "Socialites" who are conceived through wealth, and at time referred to as "old money" are known as people who are always INVOLVED. Meaning that they are always on the scene, or always playing host to the top social gatherings. They can also be referred to being one who is prominent in fashionable society. A few, would actually turn their noses to my term the "urban socialite". Few might say that there is no such thing.

The Urban Socialite, unlike the traditional Socialite, doesn't necessarily come from a bloodline of diamonds. But has a host of friends, network is thick, and primarily considered a local Celebrity.

This is why I am electing Erica" Diva" Day as the Urban Socialite of the DMV. If you are wondering who she is Google her baby! Articles, photos, and other web clutter with her name mentioned will pop up. She has given back to the community by working at a summer camp for underprivileged children, she is very family orientated, and has a tough humble heart. She travels a lot and has graced the pages of "The Yard", "The Washington Post", and did a photo shoot for "College Sports". Oh, if you get a sense of arrogance from Ms. Diva Day, that's just modesty wrapped in struggle.

Ms. Day works very hard and gives 110% in everything that she does, she doesn't sympathise with the weak, but motivates them to try harder.

As of now, Ms. Day a Graduate of Howard University, coaches track for the HU Bison's while pursuing her Masters at HU. She is still involved in thousands of activities through out the Metro Area; fashion shows, social events and just living life to the fullest. Its a wonder how she balances her social life and personal life, and still make exceptional grades.

Thank you Diva Day, for inspiring me to work hard and reap the blessings.

Reality Television....My guilty Pleasure

Good Evening, My name is Mz.Ktoure and I am a reality-TV-aholic...

After watching I Love Money last night, I realized that I have a problem..... *Sniff *sniff... I am addicted to reality TV. As My excitement rose after watching a preview of I Want To Work for Diddy and flipped through the stations, to satisfy my "relapse" for a hit of an up to date reality show. I realized damn I have a problem. This rerun episode of America's Next Top Model is to stale to to lift my high. I need a dose of an fresher episode... Thank God it's Sunday; Kimora Lee Simon's Life in the Fab Lane!! A new episode Oh My. This is too much, damn I accidentally flipped to I Love the Millennium, I cant breath. NOoOOOOOooo A preview of G's to Gents. MY HEART!!!! :: blank::

My Dream Vs Destiny

A year ago, when my daughter Chanel was a newborn. I worked as a fashion designer's assistant and as a representative for the clothing line. This work added extra money to our much needed funds, but it couldn't substitute as an actual JOB. I wasn't making money everyday, I was only earning commission and the clothing line was a developing project. But on the other hand I was having so much fun!! I loved the clothing line, and it was very much so appreciated by so many others. It was just the thrill of mingling with so many well know local fashion designers and DC Socialites, that make this work so easy. My favorite adventure, other than meeting well known celebs in the music and fashion industry, was the Fashion Fights Poverty fashion show. Ooh to die for!!! Everything from the color displays on the run way, the Grand Marnier chocolate shots, to the colorful crowds of beautiful young men and women. I never felt so close to my dreams. To be one of those beautiful people in the Fashion Industry. I was a marketing major and planed to be Marketing Director for a well know clothing line. I humbly wasn't worry nor concerned with being rich, having a house on the hill with 20 cars. No, give me a mod-deco condo or 2 level loft that over looks Chinatown, keep that 16 acre mansion in the Hampton's. (Now I wouldn't mind being invited to one for the annual all white party).

Presently, working as a receptionist for a Fortune 500 company. A place where people are so proud of working here and being here; I'm actually afraid that when someone gets fired that they will blow the place up. I'm serious. Yes the money is good, we are surviving. But this job really doesn't interest me. Granted, I get my work done. Lol but there is no satisfaction in this. I am more excited about getting paid than, telling people where I work. Most people would say "well that's all you need". Liars!! Why can't I actually enjoy my job? So now a year later, I am ready to head back into the industry. But I keep getting this feeling of what seems to be an internal war raging within my gut. One side saying "just let it be, you have a perfect job". The other side, " You dreamed of this for so long, and you're so close"

I am at the crossroads...I've actually been standing here for over a year.

The Dream: The Fashion Industry Vs. Destiny: Basic Job w/ Nice Pay
