Strike a Pose!

I first heard about this App from Kirsty Elena on Full Time Fabulous, but I recently downloaded it to enter a contest that I read about on Minkette (click here for the post).   It’s called Pose and reminds of Instagram, but it really lends itself to those of us who are fashion bloggers.  What I like is that it allows me to share pictures from my latest outfit posts, take previews of upcoming outfits, and basically quick snaps of outfits that I wear on a daily basis.  I can also tag all of the brands and designers of who I’m wearing that day, then automatically post them to Twitter and Facebook (and Tumblr if you have it)!

One of my poses was featured!

For the Rebecca Minkoff contest, just download the Pose App on your Smartphone, snap your favorite outfit pictures and add #OOTD (outfit of the day) and #Minkette for a chance to win an awesome prize: a beautiful Ostrich Cupid Satchel.  I’m always amenable to adding more RM purses to my collection, so you’ll definitely be seeing more and more poses on Pose!

As a nice surprise, one of the “posers” sent me a quick message to tell me that one of my poses was on Rebecca Minkoff’s Facebook page, sporting what else?  My most recent outfit post with one of my MAC purses of course!  Have a great weekend!

True Calling: Major Art

I entered this great contest by The Natori Company that I received today in my email.   Click on the picture for the Facebook link to enter the contest (you can also enter on Twitter).  My entry is in the quote below.  Good luck to those who enter!

Major Art

Choosing to have an art major was a difficult decision for me because as the daughter of Filipino immigrant parents, it was expected that I choose a different path, preferably something in the medical field like a nurse or doctor.  But luckily my parents understood that my calling was to choose a path less travelled by my friends and relatives and to choose a major of visual arts.  I’ve always been very creative, both musically and visually, so choosing an art major was natural for me. 

As a result, my time in college was one of the most enjoyable experiences in my life.  I was at my most creative, working with film,  video and music (I also became a choir director at my church).  It afforded me some incredible opportunities that I will never forget, like the many shows I got to work on for MTV; working with Toni Braxton on a made for TV movie for VH1 (“Play’d”); and most notably, working with Denzel Washington on a major motion picture (“Antwone Fisher”).

I’m currently in a different career that allows me to have time for a family (which was difficult when I was a free lancer for film and video production), but I do not regret at all the decision to have the chances and opportunities that I did as an art major.
