I had an idea for a salon event the other day. It could always correspond with Personal Icon month, or it could just be a free-standing salon event if we don't want to wait that long to do it. We can collectively decide that I guess. So I will explain the idea after the cut, but I will give you a little hint before the cut. :)
So my idea is to have a "Personal Style" event. Right about now you might be thinking - What in heck are you talking about Amy? Hold your horses - I'll tell you (I just realized that his post is sounding more and more like an informercial. Damn).
It is my belief that everyone has a very personalized sense of style - it's just that it's hard to see it from where you stand. It is also my belief that if someone is interested, they could really benefit (stylistically speaking) from knowing what that style is, and how they can use it to create a defined and cohesive life. So my idea is to have an all out event where we all just sit down and, through various style exercises, figure out what our most basic sense of style is (or at least what we wish it was).
I'll give you some examples of what kind of exercises I mean. 1. - write down words that you wish reflected you (I'll guarantee you that you already have clothes/other lifestyle routines that reflect those words). 2. - create a pictorial list of people who's style you always like/clothes you really really love/etc. 3. - make a list of all of the clothes you can remember from your life that you have loved an obscene amount. (i.e. you think I have a love of nautical things for no reason? four words - kitty cat sailor dress.) There will be other such exercises as well, I just haven't thought of them yet.
Besides the style exercises, we could maybe watch a very stylish movie (like Contempt which I just watched and will be the inspiration for my summer wardrobe this year, or maybe some movie that is less French. And with less of Brigitte Bardot's ass.) And maybe we could eat some stylish snacks. Like...... chocolate tuxedo strawberries? Idk - we can work on that if you all decide you are interested in having such an event. So just let me know what you all think!

I'm in. I love style and chocolate strawberries. Yum! Maybe we could even do the fondu strawberries like we did that one time.
I would most certainly be in on this one. My style may be closely linked to Sharpay Evans (or is that just my personal wish?)...and any fruit covered in chocolate is a good idea. Also- being less like Contempt is ALWAYS a good idea.
Haha, oh contempt. I will never forget you're deep impact on my 21st birthday, and that song... you know the one, Glynnis :). And the event sounds awesome so, well, of course I'm in.
well yay for the positive input! now its just when and where. you all will be pleased to know that I've been doing a little research in preparation for this event. Yes, I have made a summer goal folder. look forward to seeing that lol.
oh contempt indeed. I love your style. but not so much your plot trajectory. wouldn't actually want to live you, though I do want all of your clothes/that awesome mid-century modernist flat. amazing.
