I just wanted to post this video to raise awareness of Alzheimer’s, It is a degenerative disease which slowly destroys the memory, It is an awful disease to watch slowly steal someone from you and I just wanted to make everyone aware of the awful effects it has on the families of people with Alzheimer’s.

I have decided that I am going to start a proper blog as I feel that I need a rocket up my arse, I know what I want from life and I need to get going in order to get it. After a certain facebook argument pointed out, may be my “Grammar” and “Spelling” isn’t completely up to scratch so I am going to set up this blog and start improving.
I just came back from two weeks work experience at GQ magazine which was a completely life changing experience (cheesy I know, but it was) it made me realise that writing for a magazine is definately what I am meant to be doing and being only four floors away from Vogue magazine made me realise that my dream is reachable and not completely impossible any more. I also met the editor of Vogue.com, a very helpful, cheery women by the name of Dolly Jones, she was a real inspiration to me in the few moments we shared in a lift, ever since I can remember I have wanted to see my name on the contributors page of Vogue, fashion has always been and always will be a large part of my life, I am a self confessed shopaholic and love the way that clothes can portray every part of someone’s personality. I hate the stereotypical ways in which people think the way you dress should catagorise you as a person, Goths, Indie, Chav etc, you are what you wear and what you wear is what you are, you make your own fashion and coincidentally your fashion makes you.
Anyway back to Dolly, when I met her she told me should could get me some work experience at Vogue.com and at that point I was having a little boogie inside, she got out the lift and cheerily said “I’ll be seeing you very soon then?”
Could I really start off where i wanted to end up?
Then I noticed on the Vogue.com website there was a little biog on Dolly Jones and how she became the editor of the most prestigious fashion website in the world, this is the bit that inspired me, Dolly did a six month internship at Vogue and this is how she got into the business, through work experience.
So when i turned up last monday to Vogue House expecting to make tea and run errands, I actually learnt a valuable lesson in life, “Even the best start at the bottom” I also realised that I want to concentrate on my Uni work and get the best grades I can, because I want that dream and now I see that with enough hard work and patience its touchable. Very Touchable.
