Ahhhhhhh.... I got my first paid writing gig as a beauty/fashion stringer (insert tremendous laughter here) for an online shopping web site/blog. The premise of the site is that you don't have time to scour the 'net for the latest trends and fashion deals or cool items, so 'we do it for you'. Yes - the same girl who still shops at Gap and Old Navy (hell yeah) and realized this weekend that my most frequently worn shorts are from 10th GRADE (that would be 13 years ago), will be writing about $700 jeans and $100 make-up products. So glad my creative writing will be put to good use.
It's the first time in years I feel somewhat validated that my brain's not going to waste and I am actually happy in the career direction I might be headed. I'm not ready to write "The Devil Wears Prada" but we'll see what comes of this. Big bucks? No way (closer to an illegal minimum wage!) but big personal reward? Some fun swag (makeup products I'll never use?)? Definitely.
Here's my first "application" review. I had to write about this specific pair of jeans that cost $695 and try to get some psycho women convinced that their worth purchasing.
