Let me start this off by saying, I'm pretty sure we're all familiar with the Bratz Dolls, right?
Yes? Good. No? Please look them up before continuing.~
So, when I was younger, about 10 or 11 years old, I was very into the Bratz. I did not have a lot of the dolls, just a few. But I had the movie "Bratz: Rock Angelz" and it inspired me to have these little fantasies about having my own magazine. I would draw things that I thought I might want to put in my magazine and write down article ideas. I wasn't very into fashion (or I wasn't very fashionable, take your pick), but I thought that I'd like to be someday. Then there was a period of time where I completely hated the words "fashion", "fashionista", "style", and "trends". I still do hate some of those words. But I've grown into a style and fashion lover over the past 2 years, and that dream has re-awakened inside of me. I've been responding to ads on craigslist to write for online magazines, and I almost got accepted by one called "Beyond Pink", but they turned me down because that they have articles about alcohol in their magazine and they think it's "illegal" to have an 18-year-old write on a blog that talks about alcohol (in a separate section), which I thought to be VERY silly because I would not be the one writing about it, . Since then, I have applied to possibly 5-10 other online magazines. I don't wish to write for a print magazine just yet, but someday! A lot of people have told me that I should be a journalist, because I'm always taking notes, always researching things that interest me, and blogging or filming videos about it.
This is still one of my hidden dreams, I guess..
Someday.
