Time for a change
I'm feeling better now. Made cookies with friends.
I will say this, I appreciate all of your kind words. You all mean so much to me. I'm lucky to have real friends and internet friends as kind as you. Thank you for your support.
On another token, I think I'm ready to move on. I love Lolita and will continue to embrace it, but from now on I'll be making what I want with no cultural stipulations. I feel a little bit trapped and I think after my audition earlier this spring for Project Runway, I have realized it's stifling me.
My spring collection may have Lolita elements, yes, but it will be all me. It will be fancy, , structured, feminine. It will be, as l'etoile said, for the princess and the warrior.
I need to reclaim my identity instead of designing for people who will ooh and ahh but never buy. I hate feeling badly about myself all the time. I will never again regret that I'm an American designer. I will move forward, proud and strong, and continue with my good work. I will make clothing for people appreciate and respect it.
This is not going to be my new year's resolution, it will be my life change.
I'm going to leave all Lolita comms except loli_valentines and the rufflebutts. I will only surround myself with positive energy. If you see anything bad written about me on loli_secrets, don't tell me, I don't care. It's like someone deciding not to read gossip rags. It's unhealthy and unnecessary.
I'm going to keep writing here, but I'm locking it up. Business stuff will be public, blog entries will be mostly friends only. I'll be doing a friends cut and begin posting less. If you would like to keep up to date on my life, please feel free to follow me on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Blaspheminas-Closet/91059552050
I'm only adding people on my FB personal profile who have 5+ mutual friends with me. I also have a Twitter for anyone interested. http://twitter.com/Blasphemina
So again, I appreciate everyone who has followed and supported me through all of this. At this point, it's just way too much. It's bad for my health, it's bad for my psyche, it's bad for my business. If I'm going to be healthy and happy enough to start a family next year, I have to be at my best.
So with that, I love all of you and thanks for supporting me through the years :)
