Pivot

I didn't like the show Friends, as it was just a white Living Single however, there was this one episode that lstill lives in my head rent free, it was called PIVOT. Ross trying to move a couch up a flight of angled stairs and it just wouldn't budge. He kept yelling PIVOT … PIVOT, thinking somehow this couch would bend around a winding staircase, and they are falling over the stairs injuring themselves trying to get the couch up and it won't budge. I laughed myself pink... and whenever I need to change my thinking, I often go back to that episode.

I say all this to say, this blog will be making a pivot. I like to talk about the things I see and the person I have become but I also love fashion and art. Like love fashion and art. LIKE LOVE FASHION AND ART! I learned how to read on Vogue Magazine and the epithets on paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago. Before the pandemic, every year for my birthday I got a subscription to a new fashion magazine and a membership to a museum.

Last 2 weeks on my Instagram, I have been posting and recreating some of my favorite looks from some of your favorite fashion bloggers. I realized I am trying to exist in 2 worlds. I want to write about politics, and dating (although currently non-existent), workplace culture, style, a great sale, where to find the best of something, reviews of products. I feel like I have kept those worlds very separate. I feel like I will now be marrying the two together.

You will see a lot more of the photos that don't make it on my Instagram or Pinterest, as well as my thoughts or feelings. I like blogs where there are pictures and diatribes to move the story along. People just don't read like they used to. So where there is a date, you might see what I am wearing. Where there are political thoughts, you might just see news clippings. I might also make a fashion post as opposition to some things I see in the news, what to wear to a political protest, or to take over the capitol. 

I want to be more consistent in blogging so I can bring you into my world. In case you didn't guess I have a Gemini rising so I am all over the place! I want to make my world a little more cohesive. So please let me know if you are down, to learn more about my fashion journey, my thoughts, feelings, outfits and maybe even some click bait. Because making this blog all about the news and my feelings, I tend to write when the mood strikes and at that rate, you might only get a post a month. The point is consistency.

So let's make this pivot together... I think this will be fun!

Don't let the bougie fool you, I said I was from Woodlawn : 36 questions about me

I haven't felt like myself in a long time and for the first time in years, I feel renewed and awake and happy. I thought I would take advantage of the lift out of the fog of depression and reintroduce myself. 1.Where did I grow up? Chicago, Woodlawn to be exact. My Instagram handle is Kurlykrysbchi... I will always be part of the Chi. 2. What's the most Midwest thing about me? Hmmm. The fact that I can pronounce Illinois correctly? I add an S on the end of proper store names: Jewels, Walgreens? My love of Portillos? The way I turn up my nose at everyone else's downtown? I say pop instead of soda? I say gym shoes, instead of sneakers? You choose. 3. Where do I currently live? Rural Arizona... send prayers! I'm afraid of everything and the thorns have destroyed 3 pairs of Adidas gym shoes. 4. Best friend? I have a few and they will always be my friends. I have in innate ability to always make an amazing friend. If only I had that same discernment when it came to dating.  ...

Arizona scares the shit out of me

Can We Talk about How Arizona Scares the Shit Out of Me?  I currently live between two mountain ranges. The sunrises and sunsets are the most beautiful I have seen. The night sky is something out of textbooks, as I look at the big and little dipper every night. There is no time change, so no wondering about when it happens as it never does and as a result it doesn't get dark early here. Right now in "winter" it is 65 degrees and it gets dark at 6pm. It is a beautiful place to live and I think I needed to be here to reconnect with nature and myself. I know for the following reasons Arizona could never be my forever home, as it makes no sense.  No seriously this damn state has some of the craziest things I have ever seen. These lovely trees behind me are covered in thorns, long spiky thorns. You can't pet or touch any plant without stabbing yourself. If you thought cactuses were bad (they are) mesquite trees are worse. There was one right by the car park and I was movin...

Trauma Porn

 I Have Grown Tired of Sharing my Messy Diatribes as I Felt at Some Point I Felt the Energy Changed from Laughing with Me to Laughing at Me.  I am not someone who particularly cares what people think, or so I thought. What you think about me is actually none of my business. I do however use what people say to me to know if I like how I presenting myself.  Is this how I want people to talk about me when they are not in my presense? Is this how I want to be portrayed? Is what I am putting out is reflecting back to me in the way I intend? The answers were honestly no. People have stated on more than one occasion "I get sad when you are in a healthy relationship, like what am I going to read. and I miss you being messy and just ruthless."  My response is usually so don't want to see me happy? And they always respond, "No, No! You are entitled to your happy, I just enjoy you most when you are unhappy." I had to sit with that for a while. Some people weren't rooti...
