Possibly the best story behind a tattoo I have ever heard!

So i got this tattoo this past weekend and I’m absolutely in love with it. The image is a page from the book The Paperbag Princess. It was the first book I learned how to read and i have always loved what it stood for. A strong and clever woman can outwit a dragon and save the prince, but she doesn’t have to end up with him. It was the best role model i could have ever asked for. And even today in this world where young girls constantly need good role models, this book still stands out and it inspires me everyday.

Jen, owner of Monarch Tattoo in Newfoundland, NJ did this and my other tattoo and I refuse to go to anyone else! She is amazing :)

Duh.

An open letter to Carrie Bradshaw.

OK OK OK. I don’t get it. I am self employed, you are self employed. (Snaps for getting a freelance column in New York by the way as we all know how hard it is to secure a steady income in the media world). I see you writing - for like a couple of minutes a day, looking fabulous… in Prada outfits and designer shoes. Occasionally you pop out to a coffee shop to work on your laptop which just fills me with whimsy about the loveliness of working for yourself. You venture out to nightly parties with exclusive guest lists, you do lunch with your girls, you spend hours shopping in designer boutiques. But how is this possible?

I work 10-15 hours a day. I generally look like an escapee in my PJ’s and top knot. I haven’t made it out to a coffee shop yet to look fabulous and make people jealous with a latte and my MacBook Air. I spend nights making lists for the next day and the highlight of my particularly fantastic month of income was knowing we can afford the real Coco Pops instead of Asda’s own.

In short, girl you give us self employed people a bad name. You have created an unachievable lifestyle that no doubt will make people sit up and take notice and say ‘Hell yeah I want this - write 1000 words a week, live and party and have a designer wardrobe’ and it will spawn many a failed and frustrated creative. Where are the long nights of trying to hit a deadline? Where are the frustrations of working out your tax bill spending hours with your accountant? I mean - I’m pretty sure I work 10 times harder than you but my picture is not on the side of a bus.

Finally I think I can declare myself more dedicated than you as I didn’t or wouldn’t drop everything I have worked so hard for to run off to Paris and live with a rodenty looking Russian. Shame on you.

So here it is. Self Employment in a nutshell. Long hours, self doubt, living month to month, a challenging work-life balance but meeting lovely people, rewarding feedback, a sense of achievement and loving living life.

Girl. Keep your Manolos… I have real Coco Pops this month. This clearly tells me life is pretty good.

YES!!!!!!!!!!
