I think when I started to get in shape and spend time at the gym, I could be better to other people and be better to myself and get back to loving fashion and experience it myself. I started to wear kilts and lace dresses.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think people expect you to change... to keep in shape, to keep up in fashion.
Fashion's important to me, but beauty fades. All that stuff is fun while it lasts, but anything can happen tomorrow. You've got to have so much more about you than the way you look or your clothes.
I am starting to get into this whole idea of caring about what I wear. There was a time in my life when I could not care less about fashion.
I like to dress up every day, so I think fashion is an everyday process.
I worked hard to be accepted by the fashion community in ways beyond my physical appearance. In no time, though, I found myself surrendering to the industry's approval process. I felt like I needed validation from everyone. As a result, I lost sight of myself and what it meant to be happy, what it meant to be successful.
Once you establish a look, and once everybody recognizes that look as your look, you never have to think about fashion again.
If I wasn't even famous or had any success, I would still wake up and put tons of make-up on, and put on a cool outfit. That's always been who I've been my whole life, so that's never gonna change. I love fashion. I love getting dressed up. I love Halloween, too.
I love fashion; I love being able to have fun with it, but I think I need to get a little bit more organised before I ever become a true fashionista.
I've found that I've settled into myself a little bit more in last year and started wearing things that I feel comfortable with and my own style and... I decided to just embrace the person that I am and the look I like, and what I think is pretty.
I made most of my living doing beauty, because I was never really the fashion person.
