Millennium brings changes

 

Was this a dream or was this a reality...

The year 2000 had dawned and I still had these visions of how I wanted to be... being in retail I saw people day in day out and people watching inspired me to look at styles and fashion in general.

One late shift at work a vision appeared at my counter... she had a very shiny puffa jacket on that glistened in the fluorescent bathed light... what was this infront of me... I was in awe of this and she knew she was like an angel... she had blonde hair and an aura around her...

I found out it was a North Face Nuptse she had on and it cost an absolute bomb, I was determined to get something similar as this was the trend and practical was at the forefront... I luckily managed to get a similar shiny puffa from C&A... if you remember them on the high street they were a very interesting store... anyway I digress... I had a puffa and it was nice to wear... teamed up with the shiny leggings and a t-shirt I looked the part...

I still didn't have a name but I had my style... 20 years old and I was absorbed in the trends in front of me on a daily basis... 

I dressed up and looked at myself in the mirror, I looked the part and something clicked in my thoughts for the next step on the winding road...

What happened next brings the internet and technology into my life...


It's building up gently now, the seeds are growing...

A technology upgrade and a bravery opens up another possibility to my next chapter.

Heartbreak but Loyalty will show its true colours

Yo u stick by your friends through the good and bad... Don't let outside influences get to you... So the dust was still settling after my 40th birthday celebrations and things were going great... but then something changed. One of my long-term friends that had supported me through my split and was a huge supporter of me cut me off and made excuses. She had told me her partner was not very understanding about LGBTQ and told her not to make contact with me or anyone like that. I was distraught and felt dumped. I turned to the one person that I knew would be nonjudgmental to me. I messaged my friend of over 12 years and said I had something to tell her, we were always upfront with each other and had been there through thick and thin. I called her and told her about what had happened and then told her about Tammy, no hesitation she said that was a beautiful thing and I'm sticking by you no matter what happens. We must of been on the phone 2 hours or so, but it was meant to be. We a...

New Year Dawns and a New Opportunity on the horizon

My abilities to be creative were to be showcased.. So a conversation with a Instagram follower led to me being asked to be involved in his business venture, I was tasked with running the twitter account and liasing with potential collaborators and clients.
