5 Things I am in love with.... Right now.

So sorry for my absents! I have been so busy with work and poetry but I do have a really cool DIY in the works AND got the newest issue of NYLON so I am working on another Nylon Challenge. So please hold on tight. For now enjoy another round of "5 Things I am in love with... right now!"

Enjoy!

1.) White shorts

2.) Photo booth photos (Not the ones on your mac, but the REAL ones)

3.) Peppermint Tea with honey (I lost my voice so this is saving me!)

4.) Youth Speaks Seattle (But I always love them! :)

5.) Newest season of Project Runway (Tim Gunn is my idol!!)

Sudden Change

This weather is really getting to me. First it's rainy and cloudy then it wants to be sunny and bright outside. I don't know what to wear!!

Oh well. I should just enjoy the summer.

So I've been keeping busy with work and poetry. And while making plans in my calendar I realized that it's almost August and this year is almost done... I know it's not time for real reflection but it's crazy to think it's almost over. So much has happened yet I know this is only the beginning.

I had the great opportunity to take pictures for Downtown Seattle's Goorin Brother's Thursday Happy Hour. (If you live in Seattle you should go!) It's every Thursday. Free soda, free beer and everything in the store is 15% off. Need I saw more?!

I posted some of the photos on the Tumblr and plan on posting more on here later.

NOW I am off to another video shot. Like I said, been busy.

Let Them Hate

Work has been very stressful. And to be honest it has a lot to do with the fact that I am in a male dominated industry. Being a woman filmmaker/screenwriter is hard. Shit doesn't come easy for us. Case in point, only one woman has won an oscar for best director. (Of course it took 85 years...)

Lately I've been dealing with a lot of guys "talking" down to me. I use to be one of the girls that thought "Everyone gets this shit. Be a 'man' about it."

I got over that real quick.

The reason why women get so much shit is because men did they wouldn't be able to handle it.

It use to get on my nervous, now it's fuel. Keep talking buddy. Whoever said success was the best revenge has no idea how true that statement is.

Brush it off, keep it classy, and smile in their faces.
