I took this screenshot a while ago when the whole scandal of Yahoo!’s CEO being fired over the phone thing happened and I completely forgot to post it. Silly me! Unless you’re Mashable or something, things like the advertising department of a major Internet company retweeting you just don’t happen everyday. I guess it’s never too late to savor the moment. I really do wear a lot of purple. The color works well with my blue eyes and skin tone. What’s your favorite color to wear?
An entrepreneur is just a socialite with a job. Along with genius business ventures, entrepreneurs have given birth to a new breed of socialites that are made and not born. Self-made that is. Dot.Com Millionaires are out in favor of tech entrepreneurs such as myself. As revealed in Guest of a Guest, FourSquare Co-founders Dennis Crowley (fellow Syracuse University Alum) and Naveen Selvadurai along with Twitter co-founder Evan Williams were seen looking very GQ on the pages of Italian Vogue. Congratulations boys! I started this blog nearly a year ago because I too plan on tweeting, updating, and checking in my way into socialite fame. However, my endless path to stardom (i.e. magazine covers, book deals, reality shows, etc.) has not been without irony. Instead of maxing out my credit cards on priceless couture at Saks and Bloomingdales like any other Aspiring Socialite, I have found myself spending it all on servers and web development. I guess that is the price of being a Fashion Tech Entreprenette. Welcome to the Socialite Media Age! TTYL!
I know these shoes are flat and on top of that they are sneakers. If you are expecting to find Prada or Louis Vuitton please go to another post immediately because it is all flip flops and hoodies here. In a world dominated by social networking, divas have essentially become dorks. My dorky side is completely obsessed with Adidas new line of social network themed sneakers. The “you can’t buy just one pair of shoes” rule totally applies here because as a blogger aspiring to online fame, I am almost always on Facebook and Twitter at the same time promoting my ever so glamorous socialite agenda. Therefore, I need both pairs of shoes to accurately express my daily life. If I really wanted to take a major fashion risk I could purposely mismatch my shoes wearing a different one on either foot stylishly expressing the act of constantly being on two social networks at once. Who knows? That look could go viral and become the next fashion craze. It is ironic that in the mist of my determined pursuit of high fashion and leisure, I rediscovered my inner geek. The other day, I even wrote I line of code as I watched the epic movie, Troy, and drank a Red Bull which is a total geek move if you ask me. I also plan on reading The Facebook Effect in the hope that it will help me think more like an Internet entrepreneur. Just as every fashionista should know their Coach from their Gucci they should also know their HTML from their JavaScript.
