The Oh So Fierce Jungle

The fashion industry is intense, not all sparkle, shopping, and loads of fabulous hair tossing. I'm just beginning firsthand and have not expeienced enough to really comment but it is really the zoo like atmosphere that requires a tough, driven personality to be able to handle it, that attracts me to this industry. So many people, especially at my school, don't realize that success doesn't just come to you you have to WORK for it.

Then, in the jampacked FIDM elevator this morning, approximatley 8:29 (8:30 class) I couldn't help but notice the subtle differences in the people around me. The diversity is really the only thing I really appreciate about LA; and among a school full of fashion obsessed students there are people from everywhere that represent many unique versions of the typical fashion student. I for one want to be more than the expected FIDM student, i want to face quality competition in an industry that is undergoing drastic changes.

Anyways, going five floors up I can't help but compare this gumsmacking, bug eyed, girl to a chimpanzee. I'm not sure if it was her brown hair, lovley olive skin, or the fact that all those elements combined wth her ears sticking beyond her rigid hair reminded of a monkey. It's not to be rude, but I had suddenly made the connection of us truly passionate students to those animals, such as monkeys, stuck in a manic atmosphere but aren't comfortble being anywhere else.

The fashion world is everywhere I want to be, lets go b-a-n-a-n-a-s!!!
