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.  ...

Happy Mother's Day or Whomever you celebrate...

  Mother’s Day is hard for me Because I had a mother figure for a few years but I basically raised myself. So this day is a reminder of what I had and what I lost. What I might have had, what I might have one day and what I will never have... I make no secret that my mom committed suicide when I was 4.  So this day just makes me sad, but not just for me. I’m sad for lots of people. To the girls that didn’t have a positive mother figure.  To those that lost their mothers far too soon. To those that wanted to become mothers but can’t.  To those still fighting to become a mother. To those that had mothers who were inherently toxic.  To those that had to mother themselves.  To those that waited a lifetime to become a mother. To those that are aunts and friends who assist in mothering.  To those that just didn’t want children but mother their friends, or help others.  To those that just wanted solace in their adulthood’s after their toxic childhoods.

Body Count

Seeing as today is Fat Tuesday and tomorrow marks the First day of Lent. I thought you would like to know I am giving up men who think MBJ and Russell Wilson are simps for loving their women.  So Lori Harvey, model and socialite is now dating the actor Michael B Jordan. I have to admit they are adorable. He went all out for Valentine's Day and rented out an aquarium just so they could look at the turtles (he calls her turtle) while they dined on Nobu. Men are up in arms over Lori Harvey being happy with Michael B Jordan. They deem her less worthy because she has dated quite a few well named individuals. (see: Trey Songz, Louis Hamilton, Future, Diddy, and Justin Combs) So Ciara, my Goodies singer, is married to Russell Wilson. The All American, God-fearing, loving football quarterback. Before she was attached to the football star with whom she shares 2 biological children and one child from a previous relationship, she was linked to some industry men (see: future, bow wow and Amare...
