My story thus far ... part 1

I wanted to share my story up to this point of my life to catch you up! Lets get the boring child hood crap out of the way shall we? I was born in Burlington VT, and I lived there until I was 17 when I went off to fashion school in LA ...oldest story in the book, small town gay boy dying to getting out to a big city to become the next Tom Ford.  Well just like 99% of boys who set out to do that things changed quickly and my goals changed.  I found that I really did not like designing clothes and I hated the design aspect of school.  But I found that where my real talents lied was styling, but we will come back to that later.  LA was crazy but such and important time in my life, I spent my 18th Birthday at a very popular gay bar called Rage with my 2 college roomies and one of our hot girl friends from school. They took me out to celebrate and that started our tradition of going to in West Hollywood every night of the week & staying up until 2,3,4, sometimes 6 in the morning and then going to class the next day (the good old days when I was 18 and didnt know what a hang over was) Shortly after turning 18 I got a job at Saks 5th Avenue in Beverly Hills which still to this day I think is so cool that I got to work there. This was the birth of my high end retail career, I always felt so at home among the designer labels and high end clientele.  But like most party boys it all caught up to me, being a naive boy from a small town I never thought bad things would happen to me.  Well fast forward to me falling into some not so great habits with some bad people, lets just say I dated someone who drove a new BMW and lived in a gorgeous loft apartment and he worked at Express in the mall. (I always thought, wow who knew express paid so well?) Needless to say he had a little "home business" on the side I was unaware of.  After one really crazy night of partying I had a moment of clarity and I saw where this path was taking me, thank god for my vanity because all I thought was if I keep doing this my teeth are going to fall out and my skin will look like the surface of the moon.  I immediately called my Mom and told her I needed to come home, and with in a month of that phone call I was back in in VT getting my act together.  Being back in VT and getting myself together was awful and really hard, but this was the time of my life where I met most of my current best friends and the most fun summer of my life was about to take place.     t

Here goes nothing!

I have been thinking about doing a blog for a while and for some reason today seemed to be the day.  I have so many thoughts and ideas that sometimes I feel like my head is going to overflow. I'm not sure what is going to be the theme of my blogs (besides awesome) but I think that is something that will come with time.  I'm sure 90% of my posts will consist of fashion (the good the bad and the ugly) bad reality TV, my friends and family, and my crazy life and the huge new chapter that's about to start.....
