Monday was extremely hectic. This morning I have barely slept, disturbing things happened last night. I became very distracted. I sat in the front of sewing machine till 12:30 and was not being 100% productive. I started watching《Maléna》when I arrived home and kept watching till 2 in the morning. The movie made me very sentimental, therefore I laid down and stared at the celling for another half an hour. Then the lawyer we had a meeting with just sent me the draft of our contract. I quickly went through the contract then when I was done, it was already 3 in the morning. Then I blanked out. I woke up realized I had to be ready in 20 minutes. To some 20 minutes might be more than enough, but when I only have 20 minutes I dress sloppy. I grabbed something on the couch took a picture and just ran out.
Peapea and I went to this exhibition Sylvia has participated planning. The exhibition was rather successful. The space was full of artists and fashion students. After the exhibition we went to a little bar at St.Marks. It was the day pier to New York fashion week .The best part was that Vogue was hosting a party celebrating the 125th anniversary at that little bar. We encountered Lui Wen the supermodel and plenty of other models that we did not recognize. The night turned out to be a lot more fun than I expected. We took the photo when we got home.
During school time I wore nothing special, just very sporty clothes. At night, one of Peapea’s friend from Chicago was visiting in town so we decided to take her to a club. I was wearing a pair of flared pants and tank top because I did not feeling like exposing too much of my skin but I still wanted to get some attention. Since it was a Thursday, the clubs were not too crowded. We did not enjoy the music.
Today we, a bunch of Parsons students, went for Karaoke after school. We were easily cognized since black is Parsons’ uniform color. A very low cut body suit is my “go to” outfit choice. As I have described before, exposing certain part of my skin makes me feel confident. Exposing skin allowed to get attention and also be treated extra friendly.
This outfit I would define as tacky but meanwhile convenient. When I am not exposing my skin, I would wear something specially close-fitting clothes. Again I feel confident that way and I can sense the attention. I received compliments that day. I think that people give compliments sometimes not because they truly like the outfit but because they think I would expect compliments.
Today I had to dress formal for a lawyer appointment. I registered a company at the beginning of the sophomore year because I was scared and curious about my future. I partnered up with one of my very competent friends who studies finance at New York University. With a tailor made jacket with a man’s suit silhouette, I felt like legally blond. I nearly spent the entire day adjusting agreements and discussing the equity problem with my cofounder. Then at night we had a major conflict. I had a terrible break down because sometimes I regret starting this project with my friend, who treated me so well that we wouldn’t have any fights if we did not start this project. I wanted to give up badly. This idea has come up in my mind for so many times. But I should not, persistence is the biggest purpose of this project. I quickly cried and put my mind together, trying to compromise as much as I could so that we could stop fighting. When I arrived home, I was exhausted, truly.
