Welcome to my short story collection. My childhood dream was to become a fashion designer, and after a lot of hard work, I was accepted to F.I.T. in NYC, which was one of the happiest days of my life. Unfortunately, due to my bad choices and naïveté, that dream went sideways, and took me far off of my path. If all roads lead to Rome, my Rome was NYC, where I finally returned to work as a freelance scenic artist, window dresser, prop and wardrobe stylist for theater and commercials. Eventually, the lure of Los Angeles came knocking. This chapter involved a multitude of bumps, bruises, and setbacks, which I was able to overcome, but not without a lot of hard work and grit. To make a very long story short, I finally found success working as a professional makeup artist. I’ve taken a multitude of detours along the way. Life is a journey, and although I am definitely over halfway through the trip, I’m nowhere near done yet. Consider this a pit stop along the way. A glance at the past, a bit of the present, and a glimpse into the future.
