As much as I love this outfit, I didn't wear it to last night's Nylon Magazine x Maker Studios x BCBGeneration Young Hollywood party although I should have as the romper and the bows definitely skew young.
The party crowd flanked by actors, musicians, aspiring actors, and aspiring musicians. I used to dismiss players of the Hollywood rat race as I saw them as drifters slashing their way through life (actor slash model slash photographer slash waitress). But my perspective has changed. It's not easy to kindle the fire of hope, to believe in a dream that may never turn into reality. After all, Hollywood isn't tangible on any level. There's no metrics, no guidelines on how to succeed. You simply have to be courageous enough to dream big, to believe in it, and to chase it with all you've got even if it means wearing and juggling several different hats. It's quite inspiring.
Please don't ever quit your daydream.
