You're Your Own Demographic

When I worked at shopbop.com, my brilliant co-worker and editor extraordinaire Maureen said to me, “Anna – you’re your own demographic you know that?” This of course stemmed from a conversation which began with us chatting about fur in new fall collections and ended with me showing everyone in the office a picture of me bird hunting (in UGGs, Chanel sunglasses, and a camouflage hat no less). I decided to start a blog not because I work in online marketing, but because after college the majority of my closest friends scattered about the country and left me home alone in the Midwest (ok not alone, but still). It’s gotten to the point to where I’ve been sending out page long emails to these college cohorts where I often drift off into random ramblings about life, love, and miscellaneous Seinfeld-esque annoyances which plague my daily existence. What better way to share stay in touch with my favorite friends and family (and anyone else stupid enough to read through this) than a blog. Ugh, blog- such an ugly word. Like frugal, isn’t that the ugliest word you’ve ever seen ---- see what I mean.
