Flamingo-pink is my new favorite color, I’m frantically buying everything flamingo-related — in fact, I’ve decided that I am a flamingo! Yes, a purple-tinted flamingo. I like the birds for what they represent: exotic luxury, care-free living and retro-kitch. I also think it’s fascinating how the birds themselves aren’t at all pretty, yet they can’t seem to take a bad picture!

Yeah, you’ll be seeing a lot of flamingo-related stuff from me…

And now, time for some pictures!

Case-in-point: rose tinted flamingo glasses. These remind me of this Valfre drawing. :)

Striking my best flamingo pose…

I didn’t have flamingo socks (travesty!) so I had to settle on swallows & polkadots. Yes, both, simultaneously.

I’m lucky to have a man who understands: Mark wore a flamingo-pink shirt on my birthday! :D

What came first, the watermelon outfit or watermelon makeup? In my case, the socks!

I saw a pair of watermelon knee-highs at Fred Flare and fell in love. Soon after I found myself obsessed with watermelons! I decided to build an entire outfit, complete with makeup, inspired by watermelons — which I wore it to the Generation Beauty event. It was a big hit!

Have you ever felt out of place? Like every job you’ve ever had sucked and was a dead-end? Have you been scolded – or fired! – for thinking differently or just not fitting in?

I’ve been there. Many times over. I’ve been hired, fired, hired — and then fired again. I’ve started businesses that fizzled and bands that bombed. I was spinning my wheels until I figured out the secret to happiness & success, and I’m eager to share it with you!

If you’re ready for the big-time but aren’t sure how to make the leap, DON’T QUIT YOUR DAYDREAM! You could be on the verge of something great.

Come hear me share my story of epic fails and epic-er wins for the first time, at PHAMExpo this June. Get your ticket now and let’s chat about how YOU can get in the Business of Being You!
