identity



On a day where folks get to try on someone else's (or thing's) identity, I realize that I've been living my life like Halloween for quite some time. By drawing Mom, I've almost stepped into the aged skin of one who is wasting away. I understand how the thin skin collapses and settles into crevices around bones, joints and veins.

Lately, I've been working long hours to meet my design deadline of Nov. 1st. The designs are for ski wear geared towards teen-aged girls, to be sold starting in fall, 2009. To get into the mindset of the people I'm designing for, I try to immerse myself in the appropriate culture and life. The ski slopes aren't open yet, but I do have my daughter, Chloe, age: almost 13, to help. Music is inspiring and reading the teen magazines and shopping the stores help.

At 54, sadly I identify with Mom's age more. But I do know all the top 10 groups on the music charts and who Zack Efron is dating. Tomorrow, as I email my designs into the ski wear company, I'll be able to take off this mental costume for another year.

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright pessimistic person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in large initial investment.
Now, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real income.
It's all about how to select a correct companion who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the income with me.

You can ask, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
