Cheap fashion

This was my facebook status update yesterday:

my days of cheap fashion are over: Forever opened

I was happy to see that I was not alone.Friends replied to my feeling. For years every trip to the US, either business or pleasure, involved a trip to Forever 21, the mecca of cheap fashion. Critiqued my many in the fashion world for their knockoffs and loved by many liked me who have a limited fashion budget, the giant chain store have catered and helped us for a quick and sometimes disposable wear.

Now, it opened in Puerto Rico and went to validate this with my own two eyes. It is bitter sweet feeling. Behind were the days were local boutiques traveled to Miami for replenished their stock only to quadruple the price. I'm so glad that abuse is over. But also behind were the days of a great $12 party dress ( only Geo and Jenni know the dress). So what to do? easy.Go to my original plan of simple but beautiful splurges. I think that it goes better with me...

Wiki and google= my blood

I'm an information junkie. To me learning about randing stuff is my heroin.From cooking recipes, pop culture facts, bios, geography, design, anything will feed my brain. This come very handy when I start blabbing facts in the middle of partying, family brunch and business meetings. Google and wiki (i know it's not a trustable source, but I felt in love with Wolverine reading his bio in it) are my blood that pumps into my veins. I'm a very good looking nerd with all this types of useless information.

There is a down side to all of this: one, I forget names, phones and important stuff because there is so much information I can handle in my brain storage and and two, people call with the most unusual questions and expect an honest, verifiable answer.

Would I stop surfing the web when I have a question too technical? nope, uneless I have a baby, which will limit my time. Would that will make more of a nerd? probably.

But nothing beats shutting everybody up when they verify that She-ra was He-man twin sister

Wish I was in

...an ice hotel. PR being this cold doesn't make too much sense.
