Please pass the donuts...

..so, the fashion whore in me decided to wear my brand new, 5" stilettos to work today. Feeling good about my choice, my boss comes into my office and says, "you know, they have a name for those type of shoes?" I replied, "and that is?" the next three words spit from her mouth like a bug running from a shoe..." F@ck me pumps!" she said. My confidence instantly shrunk to a midget size height as her words rang in my head. As I sat in disbelief, my mind begin to wonder... Is there some truth to the ignorance that flowed so freely from her mouth or do we as females have it all wrong when it comes to style and fashion in the work place?

In my mind, I was juggling three balls on that comment.

Ball 1: My intial reaction was to question the comment "f@ck me pumps" and ask why she would think my shoes resemble a pair of cheap, patent leather, no names- that pamela Anderson's may have thrown in her closet some where?

Ball 2: Bring some clarification to the difference between "f@ck me pumps" and that of which looked so perfect on my size 8's.

Ball 3: or expose the truth and explain how they are a prop to tonights show... Hehe!

All and all, ignorance is bliss. Fashion comes in all shapes and sizes. Should one judge a person by the style of her shoe or by the way she wears it? Sounds stupid right?!?! Just think how I felt when she said it.

Introducing...

There is something about being around intelligent, positive, ambitious, "food lovers"  that just lifts my spirits.  Positive energy really gets the creative juices flowing for me, I feed off of it... I love it. So here it is, I have finally decided to buckle down and start a blog. Join me as I ease on down the yellow brick road of life. My ultimate goal here is to share the rise and fall of my inner fat girl.

Who is my inner fat girl you ask? She is a cupcake loving, cosmo-clubbing, taco grubbing, bEitch. Who appears at the most opportune times. She is a self professed foodie, who is against physical activities for self improvement.

Who am I? I am Taiya. A dreamer with too much thoughts but clueless on how to convey them to the world.  I am a traditional girlie girl fascinated by everything. I started this blog to chart or monitor my progress from here to there, ('there' being fame, fortune, accolades and food loving groupies I hope....  lmao) and also as a way to make myself accountable. If my progress is public, then progress I must make, right?  So, you will get to know me and I will introduce you to my friends. I have alot of artistic, creative friends who are ....well.....nuts. Sometimes they make me laugh till I fall on the floor, hope you will too. I am not that funny, but I have alot of cool things going on in my life all the time. Even though I love living in Virginia, I travel a bit for work and meet lots of people.

So, follow me as I feature some of the best foods I've eaten both healthy and BAD (but good). Dib and Dab in a little exercise and have a little fun along the way.

Cheers..
