Second Careers Worth Noting

Perhaps we're more noncommittal now than decades before, or maybe a globalized culture has instilled in us a kind of career schizophrenia- whatever the reason, people these days seem to be juggling a handful of jobs, not out of necessity, but because they want to. Whether they're moonlighting as a freelance photographer while working a 9-5 in human resources, or tending bar while working mornings as a yoga instructor, I'm fascinated by the different ways in which people choose to make their money. Particularly, I'm interested in the seemingly divergent second career paths of the middle-aged. For instance:



During my internet strolling this morning, I stumbled upon Bjorn Borg's self-named fashion label, something that until just now I've been completely oblivious to despite being a loyal tennis fan. On top of being a tennis icon/mastermind/superhuman, Borg is always one of the best dressed men in a tennis stadium and his hair... Oh! His hair is gorgeous! so his trajectory into fashion is not particularly surprising, though some of his underpants styles are: (ahem).

Meanwhile, I have yet to embark on my initial career path/way to earn a satisfactory income. As I consider how I progress, I'm continuously encouraged by people who do what they love and can still feed themselves, especially if they have a handful of tennis titles to boot.

Somethin' like a Terminator

She is so thoroughly cool. And the typewriter at the end is gorgeous.

'Tis the season!

Valentine's day is next weekend. Cute, I know. In honor of this joyous occasion, Avanti South (which may or may not be where I work) is offering $20 blowouts Saturday and Sunday so you can look FINE for your VALENTINE! (Yes, that just happened... No, I don't want to talk about it).



Anyway, if you're in the Boston area and have hair long enough to necessitate a wash, blow and style, give us a call! 617.485.1003. I promise, you'll leave looking fabulous!

Yes, yes, absolutely yes!

In an online article, E! asked if viewers would be interested in seeing Tilda Swinton play Conan. My answer is a resounding yes!



Perhaps one day...

Why did it take me so long to hear about this girl?

I'm very newly obsessed with Janelle Monae. Not only does the girl have the moves and the voice to capture the attention of her audience, she also has fantastic style, bringing an eccentric new flair to female-androgyny. If Andre 3000 were to have a twin sister, she would be Janelle Monae.



I love how she operates outside the realm of reality, insisting that her listeners engage in her sci-fi world as they enjoy her music and are immersed in an imaginative space that is truly original. Few performers have the ability to pull off such an avant-garde persona, but she seems able to rock it and she's only 25. I'm smitten.



AND, SHE LOVES BOW TIES!
