Humph

Still struggling to navigate my path through the world of fashion, social media, and writing, I aspire to find a happy home which houses all these loves together under one roof. From time to time I find such a wonderland and promptly seek out its landlord to inquire about any upcoming opportunity (paid or otherwise) and of course, shout from the rooftops how absolutely perfect I would be for their company or organization.

I have been following Nonsociety since it gained popularity years ago from co-founder Julia Allison, who seemed to have become famous in New York, for, well... nothing. The site grew to a video/ microblogging/ lifestyle editorial of its contributors (think The Hills for the Internet). While perusing through the pages one day (during which time, I'm sure I was supposed to be doing actual work), I found a very small unassuming request for additional contributors. Bingo! No, I didn't live in New York, and no, I wasn't exactly published, but those were just details. A website like this was perfect for me.

Though I sent over my portfolio and links to guest blogging posts, I never did hear back from Nonsociety, not that I really expected to. I still read NonSociety's pieces from time to time, following the lifecast of the three original contributors. Just today, I happened upon the website again. However this time, there were very noticeable changes, mainly, many more writers.

One in particular caught my eye. Bio for Katrina Szish "Posh Pundit":

A "Type A" televisionista in perma-platforms, I am a firm believer in retail therapy, champagne for breakfast and no more wire hangers. And being happily married. And helping as many animals find homes as humanly possibly. Otherwise, fashion, beauty, shopping and pop culture dominate my brain 24/7.

Aside from her real career as a TV personality, and my addiction to old etiquette books and manners, this could essentially be me. Once again, it seems I have been trumped.
My search is destined to continue for the right networking connections, the right outlet, or the right turn of luck to help me build a dream home for my fashion journalism career in waiting.
