fashion

My new project is to create a fashion magazine. I am doing it with a friend and she doesn't do research and it kind of bugs me. I did a ton a research on Oscar de la Renta, Channel,and Dior. Did you know that Oscar de la Renta's real name is Oscar Aritides Renta Fiallo and he was born in the Dominican Republic (his mother is Dominican and his father Puerto Rican). When he was 18, he moved to Spain and in 2001 he started a collection.
I bet there is a lot more to Gabrielle Bonheur (founder to Coco Channel) then you think there is. She redefined fashion by making elegant suites and dresses instead or corsets. Coco Channel came through in 1910 and created Channel No.5. Now the company is run by Karl Lagerfeld.
Dior was founded by Christian Dior in 1946. He was known for the beautiful silhouettes he created on women. Then sad news came to the fashion world when he died at a health spa.

just another tirring day

I am on my way to gymnastics as I'm writing this. I just found my laptop today and it had power! Today was my brothers birthday party and we went to laser tag in Columbia. It was so much fun to play and I was the best! Although i am the oldest, I am definitely not the most skilled. I guess I was just the fastest. I am kinda excited for gymnastics. I got a new floor routine and I am super excited about it. I really didn't like my old floor routine because it was very robotic. I hope I do well on bars and vault but I am very tired!!!!!
Okay, I just came back from gymnastics. Our last event was floor and I had to do my routine with tumbling. I was terrible! I could barley finish the routine but, I did the routine without stopping. I have to go to bed now. Bubye =]

Another wonderful walk in the woods. And with a new friend, too!
We met at a little-known part of a state park. When we were trying to figure out where to go we talked about here and there and then mentioned "this wonderful place, off the beated track, that nobody goes to." We couldn't believe the other knew about it! (Very cool.) While our boys (yes, even Sambino trying desperately to keep up with his brother and new friend) took point, the ladies strolled along behind chatting and getting to know eachother.
We have a mutual friend we both think is just delightful. (Wild.)
It turns out that she is a Grace Potter fan. (MmHmmm.)
She likes going to concerts. (AhhHaaa.)
And wants chickens. (OMG!)
Isn't it wonderful to meet new people?
