Well its official I received the acceptance letter last week, I will be returning to Belmont in the fall, however before then I am taking the max amount of transfer hours humanly possible. I am so determined to graduate asap, that I don't know what to do with myself. I therefore must focus on the new and incredible that is going to be happening soon. This year I am going to go out with guys of various types, have fun at different concerts, grow out my hair again (I really gotta stop cutting it off, maintain my fab figure, and then figure out my grad/law school plans. To start with, I need to focus on the most important thing ever, my first day of class outfit! complete with bag!! I am so excited, and just so we are clear I am graduating this time and getting Dean's list. So first things first, your music for such a delayed post is Glee's version of Florence and the Machine history in the making classic, Dog Days are Over. Now this is a quintessential remake in my opinion for the show because it adds a hopeful quality that wasn't available in the original version. There is a certain Katy Perry "Fireworks" Corniness that is available to the Glee version of the song, that speaks to me and gets me excited about life and the future. Hope it does the same for you to!
Now as for your art for the week, I wanted to instill some words that I got from church yesterday-- keep the foxes out of your garden. Do with that what you will!
Now I know it isn't the usual type of art that I showcase, but lets face it, sometimes words are all that will do!
Here is that outfit I have been promising you! What are your thoughts?

Wow there are no words...
I have absolutely no words to describe how horrible I feel about the negligence of this blog upon my attending school in NYC. I have to say sorry, because even if this blog is purely just for my eyes and no one ever reads it, I still should have kept up a commitment for posts. In not doing so, various aspects of my life for the last 4 months will never be documented, nor can I ever hope to remember them in a full capacity.
Apology over, and now something new.
I am returning to Nashville, and by Nashville I mean Belmont University (I hope). In attending AMDA I have learned quite a few things about myself, my future, and my fashion sense. First of all, I never wear pants. It has become a sort of running joke with my classmates, because if I am in a pair of pants, then it is most likely that I am upset about something. I am a dress wearing girl, and I love it. So upon my return to Nashville, especially when it gets warmer, I plan on cultivating that love and not allowing it to alter in any way. Beginning with this little gem from polyvore.com. Now I realize I didn't complete adhere to my under $100 price, however you can skimp on a good coat, ever. Therefore I am unabashedly over budget by about $20. Can you blame me?
And since I could not even begin to leave before I posted a delightful little tune that will certainly keep you going, here you go!
Now usually I try to place the originals of songs on this blog, because usually the covers are dismal, but I have made an exception. Glee is a show that has taken over the country and in doing so has revolutionized how people look at music, finally. Therefore, I see no reason why playing Florence and the Machine's Dog Days Are Over via Glee is inappropriate. After all Glee has changed how we see music and isn't that what my new goal is after all? Changing myself?
Ta-ta darlings!

I"M ALL SHOOK UP
So I am currently in a show called ALL SHOOK UP. It's all about the kooky things people do when they are or think they are in love. Its a great show and full of a great cast and crew, and its without a doubt one of the most fun experiences of my life. Its also my last show in Nashville, TN. In case you were unclear, I hate it here, always have always will, but at the same time I did grow up here, I am proud of the fact that I was born in Buffalo, NY; but Nashville was home for many years, and while I hate it. Major aspects of my life happened here, my first boyfriend, kiss, proms, homecomings, volleyball, Fame, Fido, Ru San's, Taste of Tokyo, my friends Harrison and Sarah, and now All Shook Up. I'm sure there is plenty more that I am forgetting, but I do have some great memories, for instance I am probably the only person who enjoyed high school, despite that I was never queen of anything, the only time I ran for something I didn't win, I never won a championship, didn't make the honor roll or valedictorian, nor did I win most talented. I however met a massive amount of people that while I am not bFFs with, I would never get rid of their moments or time in my life for anything.
Anyways, since I am feeling so nostalgic, I was hoping to infuse that into my newest polyvore outfit, as well as give you a helping of some art and music, something that has not happened in quite a while. First of all, song I have a hard time summing up my musical tastes, and this is why I am black, but my fave musicians are Ella Fitzgerald, John Mayer, Michael Buble, and Sam Cooke out of the those four two are dead and have been for quite some time. Now that being said, my fave bands are the Clash, Coldplay, Ra Ra Riot, and Queen. In between there, my faves include opera, classical, musical theatre, anything from Glee, all jazz pre 1960 and most pop music, I also love Lenka and Priscilla Ahn. You can't classify me, and you certainly can't define me, a proud aspect of my person when I was in high school, however you can put me in a few song and they sum up who I am and who I want to be. My clothes fit my personality as well, and for that matter my tastes in film and art.

The Fallen Golden Girls
Unfortunately this morning, Rue McClanahan passed away. McClanahan was responsible for being part of the funniest and best comedic quartet on regular television ever. There is really no comparison, the Golden Girls was without the funniest and best show to ever grace television, yes it is better than Glee. Every member won at least one Emmy all were nominated more than once, and the show ended at seven seasons simply because Bea Arthur was tired, they were never canceled. In the last three years we have lost three Golden Girls, Estelle Getty, Bea Arthur, and today Rue McClanahan. The lone holdout is Betty White, who ironically was the eldest of the four. I hope that she continues on strong and stays with us for a long time. Anyways, In honor of these four unbelievably talented women, here are four Golden Girl Inspired Looks, all under 100 dollars of course, except for maybe the bags, because well you know my motto a good bag is hard to find!
Blanche Deveraux i.e. the sexy one (the slutty rich one)
Now the best thing about Blanche is simple, she loves men and sex and is not afraid to show it. Now, Blanche is forever lying about her age, in fact during one episode, Blanche asks Sophia what she thinks about her outfit. Sophia's words are (this is paraphrased) "Its to short its too tight for a woman your age." Now hopefully you don't fall into that category, so here is a modern take from Blanche's go to sexy date outfit. The one beside it is Blanche's everyday look. Bag shmag, she doesn't need money her date will pay for everything she wants or needs. A woman who knows how to use what she's got to get what she wants. She is a flashy woman from her head to her toes, and make sure you wear open toed shoes at all times with this one, Blanche was having a pedicure when her husband died, so feet to her are important.
Dorothy Zbornak i.e. the smart one (the tall educated one)
The best way to describe Dorothy is simple tastes and a solid belief in wearing the clothes, not allowing them to wear her. Dorothy's outfits on the show were never revealing, they didn't have minuscule hemlines and she very rarely wore heels certainly not the platforms present today. She was tall and built somewhat straight up and down, however when describing her look it was demure and classy. She had that inane sense of class, that couldn't be created, it came from her confidence and intelligence. These looks we have here one for her day and one for her night encompass that intelligence and relaxed sense of style. Along with a few sequins, because let's face it the eighties was all about the sequins.
Rose Nylund i.e. the nice one (the blond, dumb, and built one)
Rose's sense of style goes back to her roots as a Minnesota farm girl. She is big on lines, since she is somewhat top heavy, and therefore tends to wear less than clingy outfits. I have chosen two looks that epitomize Rose's day and night looks. Rose was considered the dumb one on the show, but when Betty White found out that Rose was the role she was to play, she panicked and the creator of the show told her to play Rose as someone who was terminally naive. Now not saying you have to be naive, but Rose played up her curves, in such a way that was both innocent and alluring. And heels are necessary, Rose Nylund was never not in a pair of heels.
Sophia Petrillo i.e. the old one (the sassy wisecracking, mean one)
Sophia is probably the hardest Golden Girl to pin down, simply because she won't be pinned down. How many women do you know in their eighties still getting it on? Sophia is sassy and is always ready with a unbelievably timed one-liner. Sophia is the one the others looked to for guidance all the while knowing the "Picture it Sicily" stories that she tells tend to be completely false. Sophia is a woman raring and ready to go, not willing to lay down and die, she is going to meet her maker dancing around in a red dress with fake chests. (If you don't understand the reference, I suggest you watch the episode "Girl's Just Wanna Have Fun Before They Die.") Now I know you will notice the obvious choice of two pairs of shoes with Sophia's night outfit, now we all know Sophia was 80 and over, so she wouldn't have worn the platform shoes trend. Although I bet she wanted to, due to her lack of height. Therefore, for those girls who aren't and are vertically challenged and yet prefer not to wear a obscenely high platform, I have included a delicious flat just for you. And as far as the gold bag, eh I am supposed to take artistic liberties. Two things are synonymous with Sophia, a tan bag and a pair of glasses, she left a legacy that one. She's 80, not dead!
That being said our prayers and hopes and all that good stuff are with the Rue McClanahan family, and with all of the other lovers of TV's best The Golden Girls.
