Ed's Interns

I recently stumbled upon a blog that I've been reading obsessively, Ed's Intern Diaries.



Four anonymous NYC magazine interns write about their experiences and provide helpful tips about breaking into the magazine world. Although this is geared more toward other interns working in New York, I've found it to be really helpful (even though I'm just a small town intern). I hope to be in their fancy shoes one day (even better if it's a paying gig!). Here's hoping.

Upcoming Movies

There are two awesome fashion movies coming out that I cannot wait to see:

The September Issue

Coco before Chanel

Can't wait!

Gwen on Elle

I cannot get over the last issue of Elle magazine featuring Gwen Stefani. I've loved Gwen for years. I used to sing "I'm Just a Girl" like it was my theme song. I'd watch the "Don't Speak" and "Sunday Morning" videos over and over again on MTV when I was younger. Tragic Kingdom got me hooked, but I totally loved Return of Saturn with "Simple Kind of Life" and "The Magic's in the Makeup." I even liked Rock Steady, although it was a little too dancehall for me. I loved Gwen. When she went on her solo tangent and did the pop girl thing, I wasn't into it. So, I'm so glad that she's returned to No Doubt. I really hope to see them on their upcoming tour.

Although the article by Aaron Gell starts off rocky, the layout is fantastic. I love how the light looks in each of the photos. It's great. Definitely one I'll be keeping around.

Happy Independence Day!

I hope you go to a parade, enjoy a barbecue, and "ooooh" and "aaaah" about some beautiful fireworks. I know I will get to do all three!

Happy Birthday, America. I love you.

Why can't I have tons of money? I am feeling frivolous, but I know that I don't have the money to act like it. So, I'll just online shop and forbid myself to buy. Right now, I can't stop drooling over the unconventional necklaces from Urban Outfitters.

The camera

The monacle

I went to my first ever photo shoot yesterday. I got to informally interview two people. I asked them questions and took notes in my little book. It went by way too quickly, but it was awesome. I cannot wait for this magazine to come out. I'm so excited about it!

Tomorrow, I'll be going to a small town parade for Independence Day. My friend is going to be on a float, which should be really entertaining. Of course, I'm going to see fireworks also. And probably listening to Shooter Jennings "4th of July" a lot. What are you doing for the 4th of July?

Have you seen Bo Obama's downloadable baseball card? I think it's funny that Bo's favorite food is tomatoes. What will they think up next?

On frustrating days, I like to watch this:



Whenever I watch it, I can't stop laughing. Just look at those little feet!
