I am a Child of Mass Media
Hello Simon (Doonan,)
How’s it going? Wow I’m so excited! You are my new fictional mentor. I hope you’re as excited as me. I just watched like every video of you on the internet. Going through the last 1/5 of Eccentric Glamour, savoring every sentence. However, I know that I should toss that book out the window (just figuratively, I can’t really toss out Walt’s kindle) when I’m done and brave my own journey of style and self expression.
I can’t deny that perhaps 99% of information that I feed myself is from mainstream media. I listen to pop songs, go to pop movies, visit pop websites, wear pop clothes…there’s no denying that I am a child of mass media. And I’m ready to accept and love such a self. I’m not going to run out and rent art house movies, shoot photos in black and white or do figure drawings in char goal. Yes I am inspired by Kesha, Timbaland and Black Eyed Peas, and I draw with color markers from images I get from the internet and magazines. I hang out on Facebook way too much. I am in love with my own blog. I am in love with colorful stockings. Yes yes yes I am in love with every part of who I am, and I am always going to remind myself this even when at times I don’t feel at all like this!
