In January, I visited art museums, began a Mexican Monday tradition, thought about fashion in the economic crisis, and landed a spring internship at Women's Wear Daily.
February saw poetry experimentation and rejuvenation, delicate underthings, the Oscars, and a party at the DvF showroom!
March brought surprise snowstorms, a fierce resolution, a peek at my style file, a summer internship offer at Johnson & Johnson, and lots of red lipstick!
In April, I embraced life's problems and my personal "uniform", celebrated my birthday and the debut of my chapbook, and fell in love with entrepreneurship and love letters.
May made me wonder: Are men like shoes? Can we all be performers? Has the world changed identities completely? Is getting hit on at the gym very common?
June, I celebrated my best friend's birthday, worked out, reminisced of yard sales and creative designs...
July got me thinking about dress recycling, baking, my neighbors, and vacations.
In August, I bought a new camera, took some pictures of my family, got tagged!, and started my Fall semester in Prague!
In September, I lived, danced, dined, and dreamed in Prague. Fell in love with the little city.
November was all about travel. I went to 1o more cities in 4 countries! My favorites were Spain and Italy. (Also, Mexican Mondays continued in Prague!)
In December, I saw Swan Lake and finally wrote another poem. You helped me decide on a headshot (thanks again!), and best of all, I came home for Christmas.
2009 was pretty incredible... But I have a feeling that 2010 will be even better! Hope you have a wonderful, thrilling, refreshing start to your New Year. Kisses and hugs to you!
