“where they hide the secret key to my consciousness”
by WildChild
Blogging. A curiously fantastic way to express a passing thought, a perfectly imperfect photograph, memories of laughter and memories of tears. Love lost and gained. Art. Culture. Life.
At times no one is reading and at others you are simply surprised by the many connections and pieces of you that resonate with a stranger thousands of miles away.
I received a message today from an old high school mate. Someone I was never truly close with but a person I respected and admired nonetheless.
Today I received this message and today I finally felt like it was worth it to take my time on this seemingly unimportant blog that I created during a horrible case of procrastination from my dissertation. My time to carefully archive my inspirations, the clips of life that I bent to fit into one blog post. This is what the message said, and I do hope it is okay to share as I found it to be quite poetic and lovely.
hey,
though I am a loyal blog follower of yours, I missed a few weeks and was catching up today, while being a super anxious grad student back from vacation and spending a day procrastinating… anyway I was pretty inspired so I thought I’d share what resultedWILDCHILDREN
it’s the right amount of sex appeal
the provocative colors
imagery, imagination, grace
the simple poetry
lighting the fire inside
pulling me into something deeper
between the lines
where they hide the secret key
to my consciousnessteleporting me home
from any physical existence
Truly quite lovely. Am I right?
Thank you for reading, for following, and for sharing your talent with me.

“From our birthday, until we die, is but the winking of an eye.” – William Butler Yeats
by WildChild
Afternoon!
I am 24 years young today! I have a post I would love to share with you on my trials and tribulations, successes and failures that it took to make it to this day July 22, 2012 from July 22, 1988. Have an amazing day and I will post more later on. I blog for my readers and I am so appreciative that you are interested in my thoughts and life to follow me on my ride of art, fashion, photography, music, love and innovation. I try to embrace everything and everyone, new and old, happy and sad, and hopeful! I hope to inspire, learn everyday, with mistakes and I try my very best to grow from them with elegance and grace. I have matured through the support and love of my family, friends, and strangers who have become friends along the way. Since I was born my mind and thoughts have always deeply investigated all my surroundings and I am happy to say my eyes and mind have not changed one bit (except for my thoughts being a little bit more relevant, although dismissing a child’s thoughts is usually where the holes lie in an adults). This is why I always refer to a childlike state on mind/wonderment. Thank you again and you are always in my <3!! Cheers 🙂

My Relationship With Bangs
by WildChild
Bangs, dubbed as the “most traumatic” hair experience for women. Who knows, bangs are hard to pull off. Do you look good? Do you really? If you do, it still sucks because eventually you will want to grow those out. If you don’t look good girls, do you really think you’ll enjoy growing them out? Do you want to look like Blaire Waldorf in an ugly headband for 4 months? No. To get away from the headbands are you willing to be eye raped for those months while these angry razors take their sweet time growing out? I personally hate being eye raped. This has been my downfall every time I try to grow out these bangs. My solution for this summer, slick backs and d0-rags. You’re right, I am white. It’s terrifying.
My problem is, I like to piss myself off. Yup, so true. Every couple years I go through this hideous mind-boggling process of saying, “ya know what would be cool? BANGS!” Sometimes it is not even a process. Completely unexpected. One time I was getting ready to go to a party in college and I started playing Edward Scissorhands (if only I meant the drinking game…). Instead I decided to take a wack at my long blonde locks for some serious BANGAGE. My “special person” thought process: bangs will look SO good tonight! Not: bangs will look good tonight, AND FOR THREE YEARS STRAIGHT.
Listen, I kind of like bangs. Until I don’t. I do not know if I pull them off, and I do not care. This is now what I would call my own personal mental retardation. I just have this unexplainable desire to go through HELL every couple years.
I am going to blame my Mom for this special condition.

Style Made Easy // FashionAde
by WildChild
I wanted to show you the new start-up company FashionAde’s website, FashionAde!. FashionAde makes being fashionable easy, stress free, and fun by having the consumer interact with the clothing via a “virtual closet”. The closet helps women actually wear what they own. Prior to starting this company, extensive marketing research was done proving that women spend a great deal of money on clothes that “sit” in their closet unworn. Yes, we are all guilty of it! FashionAde has partnered with some of the most fashionable and influential brands out there including Saks Fifth Avenue, French Connection, Nordstrom, Zappos, Piperlime, Gap, and more that help to provide you with examples of what you can add to your wardrobe and where to purchase it! This is a new era in online shopping that creates an unbelievable user experience. The multi-functional site also reads as a blog from FashionAde’s Fashion Director, model turned fashion stylist, Michelle Lynch who has worked for Teen Vogue and Seventeen Magazine. Michelle has styled talent for shows including American Idol and Good Morning America. FashionAde is your one stop “virtual closet” that is changing the game for the online shopper making it interactive and providing knowledge on the hottest trends!
Take a special look at the website here FashionAde! and sign up to create a virtual closet!

Seth Godin : “Thriving in a wet environment”
by WildChild
A blog post from America’s greatest marketer Seth Godin. He has written 13 books, all have been best sellers and translated into 30 languages. The books are fantastic, personally I enjoy Linchpin and All Marketers Tell Stories but I enjoy following his blog the most which contains short but clear meaningful thoughts that are relatable to everyone.
If you’ve ever fixed any kind of machinery, you know that a device that’s exposed to the elements is incredibly difficult to maintain. A washing machine or the underside of a car gets grungy, fast.
On the other hand, the dryest, cleanest environment of all is the digital one. Code stays code. If it works today, it’s probably going to work tomorrow.
The wettest, weirdest environment is human interaction. Whatever we build gets misunderstood, corroded and chronic, and it happens quickly and in unpredictable ways. That’s one reason why the web is so fascinating–it’s a collision between the analytic world of code and wet world of people.
No software design survives a collision with the user.
