Being judged is a teenagers worst nightmare. It has even led to the murders and suicides of some extremely young kids. It honestly kills me inside to know that kids now, at this very moment, are being bullied for being who they are. Just like mostly every teen out there, I have had my share of bullies. Some have been kids and others, believe it or not, have been adults. I have been put down by my peers and told that I would never become an actor, that I was too skinny, my nose was too big etc. For a long time I let that define me. I didn't look inside myself and see the unique and creative person hiding underneath all of the criticism. As far as adults around me go, numerous people have tried to discourage me from my dreams of becoming and actor and even this blog. I know this is kind of sentimental and not really what the blog is about, but even in fashion you have to be secure with who you are and what you are wearing. If you don't believe in yourself, who will?
The theme of this post is "bare". In all of my previous posts, myself, along with all of the girls have been completely made up and styled. Of course they were because this is a fashion blog! But, I want to promote being proud of the person that is underneath the designer clothes and makeup. So, I've taken a few pictures of myself on photobooth (eek) that are just of me in my everyday life. Sweatshirt, jeans, messy hair, obnoxious expressions and no makeup or retouching. It's embarrassing to show these pictures to you guys because I want you all to look at me as someone that has their act together as far as fashion goes, but I think that it's important to love who you are underneath it all :)
Be you and love yourself. If you ever feel sad or out of place look at these hideous photos OR listen to some GaGa :)
