Ohkay so ... over these many many days of stressful preparation for the charity ball and pondering over uni choices, my mother decided that I needed to get a dress! She's crazy seriously. The ball isn't for at least a month. She really needs to loosen up and chill out, I've been hinting to my dad so badly to take her somewhere nice, like Hawaii or something. Apparently, members of the male population do not get hints, including my shrewd businessman of a father. So, I was subject to Brittany (yes, she finally realised that I didn't resemble her ex in the least) taking me shopping. THE HORROR. I think she made me look at a couple of hundred dresses that ended just below my butt ... I lost count of how many times I had to remind her that I was a representative of the company, and therefore had to dress somewhat decent. It was also a formal ball for heaven's sake, not a high school spring fling. Then after hours and hours of being dragged around everywhere, and Brittany purchasing her fiftieth dress, I saw it. The perfect dress. A beautiful floor length Givenchy - silvery fabric, a little grecian inspired draping here and there with gold beading. I almost ran into the store jumping up and down with excitement, but restraining myself, I merely asked to try on the dress to see if it was 'adequate'. I was told that the dress was the last one ... and guess what? IN MY SIZE! As I happily twirled in front of the mirror, admiring how the light glinted off the gold beading, Brittany snorted in her annoying little way and informed me that I resembled Grandma Jacqui. I, of course, ignored her immature little remarks and retrieved my credit card. The shiny black surface of the card definitely shut her up. At the end of the day, despite being with Brittany for hours on end, I was immensely satisfied. xlyna Labels: Lee

drop that beat honey
history
18 years ago British supermodel Gemma Rose Darling met top tier photographer Nathaniel Cordacé at a Milan fashion week afterparty. She was a mere 19 years old, and he, 27. Both were successful in their respective industries, and an innocent love bloomed between the two. They were married on impulse on a beautiful sunny day in a quaint little Italian town where Nathan was born and they were happy for a year or two, a lifetime in the fashion industry. But soon enough the inevitable spoils of the high life took its toil on the couple. They divorced two years later and each went their own respective ways, albeit not on friendly terms.
The product of this union was a little girl born during one of the happier moments in their marriage. On the 11th of March, 1992, Sierra Cordacé came into the world. She was a sunny child, but she grew up way too fast. After her divorce with Nathaniel, Gemma Rose went back into the fashion industry and recreated her image as a catwalk siren. Through the course of 16 years, she remarried seven times- all to men with one thing in common: impossibly large bank accounts. Somehow or rather, the relationships always fizzled out with a messy divorce, leaving Gemma Rose with a solid chunk of her ex-husband's grand fortune and more than enough to satisfy her expensive tastes and leaving enough to fill up her own bank account nicely without the additional income of her modeling.
So in this manner Sierra grew up. Alternating between all that is glamorous in NYC and the quintessential high life in Italy, she took everything life threw at her in her stride. Currently, she is studying for her senior year at the prestigious Woodley East highschool in New York between constant parties and events, and boys. Of course.
