Fashion, flashing lights, electronica and YSL lipstick; If those things seem even slightly amusing, then you'll probably be entertained by my musings. From indie bands, and trends, to new, cutting-edge labels, I try and keep you up to date with all of the hip happenings that I hear about on my site, Façade. Here, you get my rants and the occasional recap of my day. Boring? Never. Fashionable? Always. Witty? Of course! Prepared to be amused. Oh, and shoot me a line with anything cool in the fields of art, music, photography and fashion that you come up with. Maybe I'll feature it on Façade!

So, I guess since I'm new, I may as well introduce myself to you lovely ladies and gents. First off, I'm seventeen, and I'm 5'11". I know, I know, that's pretty tall. Well, I'm sure its not as bad as if you'd met me in elementary school (I was 5'5" in the third grade.) Any rate, I'm probably one of the youngest fashion journos around, if not the youngest. I write for WeAreTheMarket, a fashion and trend-centric blog. I write for some others as well. I do freelance, so its pretty much whomever picks up what pitch.
Fashion's my life, and my drug of choice. I've never taken drugs, or been drunk, but glamour is my intoxicant. I have my own unique sense of style and love those who share in this. I'm sick of pretense, I just want to meet other people who like to have fun, just like me, and who care about others. I may make cruel jokes at times, but it doesn't take much to melt my heart. I cry at Disney movies, and can't stand seeing children in pain; don't cry around me, because chances are, I'll be just as upset as you when all is said and done.
I love taking pictures of myself. I don't want to model, but I do have my favorites, like Chanel Iman, Agyness Deyn, and Irina. Marc and Jeremy are my icons. I love idiosyncratic fashion, and fashion with a message. I have always been enamored with politics and the law, so I love other intellectuals. I am fluent in English, and sarcasm, but I also speak a little French, Spanish, and Portuguese. Street art is amazing to me. I love Banksy, Neckface, and their ilk. As Banksy put it "I just want to be a non-conformist just like everyone else." Keith Haring inspires me, too. Musically, my tastes range from Theophilus London(who is the coolest, tallest guy I know,) to Hot Chip. I'm going to see Justice at The Garden, because Lord knows I love electronica. M.I.A. is even more beautiful in person. Sometimes I just stop caring. Sometimes, I write in strings of non-coherent sentences. Really, I just want to meet fabulous people who don't try too hard-- who just are. Really, I just want to meet... another me.
Nice blog! Welcome to Uber, and thanks for the add! ;) Your descriptions of yourself are frightenly much the same as I would say about myself.. :P Especially about the Disney movies, haha.. xx

What a great intro and beginning of - I take freedom to postulate that - a flood of interesting and well written, and fresh, blog posts. Fluent in English, and sarcasm, and a lover of electronica. Damn, you got me enthusiastic about this already!
