It took me a good hour to complete, the banner is temporary or not.. I'm waiting for new BadBarbie stock to come so I can camwhore & get a good picture of myself for the banner. I do feel guilty snatching Lie's image & using it but oh well, just shows how much I love the woman.
Before I start the post here's an image of me completely unrelated to the post.
Because you know... Just because. No, just for the sake of having an image in it.
So anyway this whole summer I planned my escape, my escape from the life I don't want to lead. I planned to revive my girly wishy washy dreams of becoming a

Fashion designer/creator.
I know right, it's a really hard industry to get into with many girls wanting in. Almost impossible to get big with classics like Karl Lagerfeld, Alexander McQueen... But I don't want to hit it big big (That would be very nice though & I welcome it with open arms!), just you know enough to get by. I'll be happy if my stuff is recognized & praised by a small community of people.
Along with all this planning, I got myself a full time job to set up my dreams. I needed extra money because I didn't want to use the money I already had just in case everything I want wasn't meant to be. With the money I've made this summer, I initially planned to use to to pay for my school fees. Full time fashion school! Well we don't have a fashion college here in Adelaide so err fashion at tafe. I made all I needed the first week to pay off my school fees but money, who doesn't want more of it?
Now, I kinda changed my train of thought. I don't need to study. I quit finance! I quit studying full time fashion before I even started! I just need money, lots of it. I do want to open a shop. It's a big gamble, a lot of clothing stores opened by Asians here don't last very long. Which is understandable since they sell overpriced 'fobby' apparel no one wants besides the fobs themselves. If I do eventually open up a store, I won't aim for something like chain store popular, just a humble store with a handful of regulars *fingers crossed*. If I do have doubts on committing to something as big as opening a store, I can just have it online & spend the saved cash on something else.
I don't know but I just have this instinct that it will work out. I have applied to do three short course to brush up my skills to draw & create exceptional clothes. Hopefully I can start making clothes soon & sell it on BadBarbie. Just letting you know, my line of clothing won't be named BadBarbie. That's just silly but I will sell it my stuff on BadBarbie. I'll let you know the name I've come up with when I release a line!
Remember the part about me needing lots & lots of money? Well I'm currently looking for a new job. If anyone in Adelaide wants to hire me please email me here: cindy@badbarbie.org (Whut?)
It can be done, if you believe it. If all fails, well there's always plan B.
