It's Fashion Week in NYC, and for those of us who used to work the runway and were called "hangers", its simply a painful reminder of that life. I think this video encapsulates better than any post I could write, what it was like for me during that period. The lessons I learned back then: you can only live a lie for so long before it begins to destroy your psyche & soul. Self-love and inner peace can only be attained from within and not by wearing, attaining, seeking something outside of ourselves.

Having learned that lesson well, I will deliver a speech with confidence and a centered and calm inner spirit (as main speaker) during a gala dinner fundraiser this evenng. The other 2 speakers and presenter are a prominent TV personaility, a broadway actress and a tv/movie actress. [Colin owes me big time for this favor!] I met the movie actress last Fri during a dry run and she was a scared, insecure bundle of nerves, that kept seeking approval and wanted to be admired. I really felt for her because I've been there. It's an industry of externals which have to be perfect.

Anyway, the first 12 sec. of this video by Evanescence is an intro, not a gag, so please watch it, its only 3 min.
