Label Whore
So I've have come to the decision that I must stick true to the label whore that I am. In this industry, which is all about selling yourself and your image, you have to pick and choose the jobs you take wisely. I do want to be in the high end of the fashion industry, which means that when I leave JB, I need to have another good name to put on my resume. I have narrowed it down to the only five that I want to work for in NYC. This is because they are the only five good menswear names out there. They are John Varvatos, Marc Jacobs, Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, and Ralph Lauren. I really don't want to take another job unless it is with one of these companies. Luckily, the JB is well known, and high end. She is not super-fashion by any means, but she is still well respected. Once you move into the lower end of things, it is near impossible to move up. The names on your resume do matter. I don't care how talented you are, if you sell yourself short and take a job at one of these lower end companies, you are stuck working down there for the rest of your career. It's good that my job is secure, and that I can look for other ones while working. This would be a much different case if I had no job. I can stay at the JB long enough to make sure that I really want the new job that I'm taking. This makes the thought of working there for a little longer much more bearable.
On the other end of things, I have talked to Jordan pretty much every day since he has gotten home. Even though he is in WI, and I'm in NYC, I still feel that he is closer to me. Well, technically he is, but you know what I mean. I guess the fact that we can talk on the phone everyday makes things a lot easier. I can't wait for him to come out here. It will be so great when we finally get to live together in New York. It's one of those dreams you have as a child that actually comes true.
Still hate Sam (I kinda just feel the need to at least write a little something about her in each entry).
Well, I'm gonna go and make biscuits and gravy. I'll talk to you all later.
Love,
Aaron
