I’ve been thinking about starting a magazine-style blog, chronicling any and all adventures and misadventures a lady might have, dealing with things like vintage style on a budget, and getting around having weird hair/proportions. I also think it’s important to share everything we learn with each other, no matter how mundane it may seem, as some of us didn’t/don’t have the luxury of a decent or healthy childhood. People who were taught basic skills by parents or guardians really take them for granted, but there are countless people who weren’t cared for, and as a result, don’t know how to do it themselves.

For someone who had terrible parents growing up, becoming your own caretaker is the most rewarding part of adulthood, but some of us need more help than the average fashion magazine can hope to give. That’s where I think bloggers should come in; start a real think-tank. All my life, I’ve dealt with the consequences of both mild and severe parental neglect, such as poor health, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and having to teach myself how to do everyday things, including holding my temper, breaking obsessive cycles, and learning to take good care of myself. Some of what I’ve learned on my lame little path could actually help some kid out. Plus, nothing helps sooth the pain of a needlessly awful childhood like using our experience to help someone else. See, there was a point!

I’ve gone a long while never taking pictures of myself. At first I didn’t have the means, but after years of seclusion, I’ve become camera shy and I think I might hafta amend that if I’m going to do any pictorials.

Here I am on one of the rare occasions I bother to put on make-up, trying not to smile, as I get nervous when I’m on camera and tend look as crazy and bloodthirsty as I feel.
