I thought for the hundreth post we would spill the story behind Prism. The story is this:
One day I was wandering around the library when I stumbled into the magazine section. i was looking at back issues of several magazines and I was astounded at the writer's skill, the layout of it, the themes, the clothes. I was enchanted. I checked out my books and later at home I proposed the idea of starting a zine to Amazon. She thought it was a great idea but we didn't know how to make a zine. School was still going and we didn't have the motivation to learn so our creative endeavor to put something like a magazine out into the world was left to wilt. I was reading some of the books I had gotten from the library; The Styling book and Careers in Fashion (judge my choices if you want; I like what I like) when inspiration stuck. i learned about Tavi Gevinson and her thing. I figured out that some people, like the brilliant minds behind 'A Beautiful Mess' have legitimate careers writing about whatever they want online. a blog seemed like the most sensible thing to me to arrange my thoughts, develop my writing skills, and fangirl over lcothes. Maybe people would read, maybe they wouldn't; this was to be my baby. Amazon and I collaborated a lot for a while but she has shrugged off as a bit more of a manager thing now. Prism is pretty much mine now. I am proud of this. This is a place where I can go to talk and have the chance of listeners. I want to contribute something creative to the world and even if it is just a post on the color pink, it is something I made. This is the 100th thing I have put out htere. I'm grateful for my readers,w ho listen to me ramble. I'm grateful to my parents hwo are patient with me chatteringa bout how I uploaded pictures of apples. I'm grateful for all the inspiration around me. It all funnels down to this.
Thank you!
BTW the reasoning behind the name is just that I thought it was cool. A prism is a triangle and triangles have three sides and three is the magic number so... PRISM!
