It's All About ME

CREATIVITY is attained from all different aspects of one's being.  Some find inspiration in the pages of books, breathing in each word and phrase with hopes of achieving a deeper point of view or satisfaction.  Others, find the lyrics of song soothing and appealing, praying as each note progresses, so will their flair. Some may also gain clarity in the theatre, performing in front of large crowds, exhilaration at every line and take.  Mine however, is attainted through a combination of all of these things...through STYLE.  As Gore Vidal once said "Style is knowing who you are, what you want to say, and not giving a damn", and I could not agree more!

First off, let me introduce myself!  My name is Amanda, I am twenty years old, and I attend Marquette University located in Milwaukee Wisconsin, MY CITY. I am majoring in Public Relations, Advertising, and Mass Communications which allows me to put my creative energy to good use and display my sense of style.  I have five brothers and sisters, two cats, and a wonderful mom who has helped all of my dreams to become a reality.  I currently work at Next Door Boutique, located in Brookfield Wisconsin and work with the most amazing creative team! I also work during the week at Marquette University Law School, where I basically do whatever they need me to do for that particular day including paperwork, calling venues etc. etc.   When I am not working, or doing fifty hours worth of homework, I find myself EXPLORING my city.  From heading to the third ward, one of my cities most creative districts, to Wisconsin Avenue where fine food such as Hotel Metro are on every corner, to even the Milwaukee Art Museum where my favorite artist ANDY WARHOL is displayed, I continually find myself inspired by STYLE.  So many unique individuals, and so many hotspots to see!  As you read my blog, remember that life is an ADVENTURE.  It is to short to sit at home, and not experience LIFE, PEOPLE, FOOD,MUSIC,DANCING, ART,and FASHION! Follow me, as I take you through MY LIFE as a single, sassy, sophisticated twenty year old living in MY CITY.
