HARRIET HARLEY HARMAN
LOCAL, TWENTY-ONE, ECCENTRIC, BLUNT, DRIVEN, ALEXA CHUNG
I have always been a driven young lady, always strived for what I wanted, tried my best to be the best without losing myself. I graduated with honors, got myself a place at FIT in New York, for anyone who doesn't know about fashion, FIT is like the one and only place to go for fashion. You can't understand how excited I was to go. It was 2 weeks before my dream of New York was about to come true when it all started to go terribly wrong, I was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, a run in with the cops that wasn't my fault and my acceptance was withdrawn and my place filled immediately. Bu-bye New York dreams.
After this I wasn't put down though, I picked myself up and rearranged my path to my dreams. I'm from a good family with good connections so I hooked myself up with some local and further afield designers though none of them took me, the inexperienced wannabe designer straight from high school, seriously. I needed a way in, I could have gone from the very bottom, being a tea girl running around and doing any stupid job for the boss, but I had a better way. I joined an agency and got myself on the modeling scene, sure it didn't help me get taken seriously at first but it gave me the chance to show off what I could do to the designers, it was a long shot, but eventually a designer decided to give me a shot and hire me as an intern, unpaid but my trust fund made sure that wasn't much of a problem. Since then I've been working my way up the chain, swapped from company to company a few times and I'm now the assistant to head designer of 'who killed Bambi' designs. And I love it.
I guess i should tell you more about my life in general now the career stuff is out of the way, I like to play just as much as I like too work and reading over the last two paragraphs I sound like a boring workaholic. I'm not.
Though I did well in school I wasn't one of the geeky looser kids, I also wasn't in the IT clique either (though I have my connections) no, I was a little, out there for that group, I've never liked being the normal reformed girl they all were, with the perfect hair and makeup, acting just so because that was how they were expected to act as queen Bee's. Nope, definably not for me, I'm more of a free, do what I like, when I like and how I like. I party (a little too hard in a lot of peoples opinions) I'm wild and a little random, overly impulsive, I'm up for any kind of adventure, love mischief and have a bad habit of doing things then considering the consequences far too late.
Before you get confused with the whole free spirit thing, I'm not a hippy or anything, I just don't care to conform to what people expect me to be, I dodge anything that would make me stereotypical, I'm confident in myself but I wouldn't say arrogant, it's not like I care what people think of me, ever.I'm not stuck up or snobbish about my clothes just because I'm in fashion, i love forever 21 as much as the next girl and thrift stores? Hell yesa! It's vintage but cheaper and much less pretentious! Pretentious, wow that word makes me think of my mother; my whole life she's been doing everything she can to 'tone me down' basically turn me into the stepford wife that she is. She pushed me into everything, learning 4 different languages, started me in piano classes at 4, horse riding at 4 (though I still do that) and all the rest of the typical little rich girl hobby's. I guess these were her way of 'being involved in my life' because she never had time for me in any other sense, she was always busy with her job as a lawyer, much like my father a property developer for the rich and rarely in the same area code never mind same house. This all meant me and my big brother, Luke had to get the majority of our attention for hired staff. My shrink claims this is why I'm so happy when I'm getting attention, for me it fills a void or something? I don't know. Yes, I see a shrink, another of my mothers ideas, she thinks I'm troubled and I have a drinking problem.
That brings me to my flaws, everyone has them; I'm a reaaaaly bad grudge holder and if you piss me off to a point, you best keep out of my way since i serve an intense dish of revenge, sometime worse than deserved thanks to my dramatic ways, I blow a lot of things completely out of proportion and can't help it. Like I already said, I like my parties and I like to drink, I've even been known to experiment with drugs on a rare occasions but by no means an addict. I'm in my prime, its what I'm meant to do! Anyway, my partying has a bad habit of getting me in to a few sticky situations though, nothing I couldn't handle (I also took kick boxing classes, that was my dads idea, and awesome) Last (that I can think of anyway) is my tendency to... 'have a good time' some guys call me a tease, others call me easy, I don't care either way, I'm not a slut, I'm just quite promiscuous? It's not like I'm steeling boyfriends and it's hard to ignore a lot of attention and I tend to get it. I have stepped on a few of my friends toes in the guy department though, when they've liked someone and I've got them but it's not stealing if they were never theirs in the first place. I guess you could say I hold having a good time a little higher in priority to being completely loyal to my friends. That sounds bad but I'd never intentionally hurt them, it just kind of... happens sometimes. Your only young and beautiful for so long and I do my best to make the most of it.
