The new and not-quite-new of my Fashion

(Me^)

Hihi! My name is Kiko Cheyenne Guntermann, and I am very new to blogging. I've watched my friends do it for years, but I never tried... probably because of my lack of understanding of html speak (don't expect any fancy fonts or colors for a while guys)

I love fashion and clothing and putting together outfits that get me noticed. My greatest fear is that I won't be remembered, that i'll die, and the only people who will know will be my family. When we did the history of the earth in biology, it completely freaked me out! I will live 100 years, max, and then I will not exist on the planet that has gone from the big bang, to a future 5 billion years from that point! How inconsequential is my existence?! I guess I am very fame-whorish, for thinking this way, but I can't help it!

And after I got home that day, after that biology lesson, I tried to think of people who surpassed time, who existed beyond the physical. George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, Jesus Christ, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolf Hitler, Ghandi, ... Well, i'm sure as hell not going to take over france OR germany, and I'm to tiny, weak and unintelligent to fight or plan a war! I can't pull off an indian hunger strike, and I don't think getting nailed to a cross is how I want to go out (i've always imagined it as something big, with smoke and glitter and fireworks, and maybe a dramatic falling off a building, I don't know. The jury is still out.) And then it hit me, like a battering ram against a castle door: Fashion.

As Coco Chanel said, "Fashion Fades, Style is eternal", and SHE is still remembered today! Is it not true that, if you are famous enough of a fashion designer, your business continues after you die? Chanel, Prada, the original designers have passed away, but their name, idea, and line still continues! Well, with that little nugget of gold sown in my brain, my previously unimportant sort-of-style transformed into an all-comsuming power over my future! That was 3 years ago, the December of 2007. And since then, i've devised a style for myself! It's not perfect, and there are a lot of people who still give me the look that shows my idea wasn't as good as I thought it was at 6:30 in the morning, on 4 hours of sleep. But I'm working, and every day I find new ways to use what I have, and different things that, at first glance, don't have anything in common, but once put on, match!

I've tried dressing in every genre out there, and i combine different one from different continents in my daily life. From Lolita to Punk, Kodona to Hime, Rave-wear to Gothic, a little bit of everything makes up my style. I have several friends, some not into fashion much beyond the t-shirt, jeans, and flip-flop staples, and others that teach me new fashion ideas on a daily basis! I'll introduce you to them at a later date, with lots of pics!

I'll blog some more soon, explain Lolita, and do bios on my friends, check in soon on Kiko, Coco and the Fashion in between!
