I've seen people that I know from two or three years back
doing very well which I couldn't be happier for. They are achieving greater
things than I am. (Well if you really want to know, mine is actually chatting with Matthew Williamson and giving him my name card which I'm sure he sent with his jacket to the dry cleaner)Ya know like an unknown
personality who used to register under my name for fashion parties has now become
such a household name that sometimes when we bumped into each other at parties (where
her name is now on the guest-list with plus-ten), she just walked right past me
refusing to notice my existence. Oh! And how about this contestant of a competition whom I was rooting for, won the whole thing, get on the cover of
Malaysia’s premiere fashion magazine and now not responding to my text because he is now too busy trying to keep up with other hipsters.
If there is one things that I hate the most in this world, it has got to be arrogance. That and pretentious hipsters, of course but my point is people could be so
arrogant. They sometimes forgot where they come from. I just find it hard to believe it people who use their ‘humble beginning’ as an excuse to act like a complete
ass-hole.
Yes it was tough to convince people to understand your brand
and actually make money in our minute-size fashion industry where people are
more likely to borrow than buy your clothes. Or becoming a new face in the
modelling industry when models who have been doing it for more than 10
years is still doing it… but once you get up there, is it necessary to
act like a jerk and speak very highly about yourself that sometimes I feel like
your head was about to explode?
Gawd! Please stop!
Gawd! Please stop!
