Welcome to my neurotic mind! My name is Kristie Manning.  This blog is my sanity.  I put all thought, good and bad into it.  I’m not going to sugar coat it for you, or try to be politically correct. This is a raw reflection of what goes on in my crazy head!  I’m a 26 year old single mother and fashion student trying to make it big.  I was made in Germany.  I grew up in Hawaii and moved to Utah for 5 years when I was 10.  I just moved home from Vegas back to Honolulu. I see a lot of traveling in my future.This journey, we call life, requires a certain amount of self torturing, in order to discover yourself on a deeper level.  I think some people are living life, but never really living.  I think art should disturb the comfortable, and comfort the disturbed.

What do I do?  So many people ask me this question.  I write for my blog.  It’s an avenue to vent, but also I cover a variety of subjects from food and wine, nightlife, fashion, music, and even post events and pictures from my rendezvous’ about. I have been writing a book for the last few years called “No Sex in the Champagne Room.”  I am a model part time.  But I recently wanted to get into styling, concepts, and coordination, as well as nightlife events and promotion.  With my networks, I realized I can do professional projects on a corporate level for a fraction of most budgets.  I enjoy bartending, it’s a great income, plus the social aspects of it are wonderful.  I’m a single mother, which is a FT job.  I also am getting back into personal training as well.

I studied Fashion Design at the International Absent of Design and Technology for a year, one of my worst mistakes.  I am now currently a fashion student at the Academy of Arts in the Bay.  I just recently decided to major in fashion merchandising, and minor in fashion design.  I would love to own a designer swimwear/beachwear line one day, and also an organic label, but my strengths lay in business.  I’m especially pleased with how enriched the curriculum is at the Academy, and challenging.  I also want to study audio and music composition and learn the guitar.  I played piano since I was a little girl and was always the first chair flute player in band.

Growing up, I was the bright child, who rebelled and didn’t want to go to school.  I guess you could say I was bored, another one of my Gemini characteristics.  As I got older I realized information and education is attractive.  I love learning a variety of subjects.   I have aps in my iphone to learn Portuguese and Japanese.   I want to speak Latin as well as 8 other languages.  I find educated people attractive.  I love the creative arts including art, cooking, fashion, writing, designing, music, and digital design.  I’m a little emo.  I’m a mom so I can be serious.  But I’m a big kid at heart. I work hard, and play hard.  Sometime’s I’m irresponsible.  I’m the loyalest and best friend you could ever ask for.  And if you get on my bad side, I can be pure evil.  I don’t go picking fights, but I feel bad for anybody who picks one with me.

I don’t regret anything or meeting people who end up being negative influences or passing moments in my life.  Everyday is a winding road and each acquaintance and mistake is a new path carved.  I’m life experience rich, and nobody can take that away from me.  The greatest gift anybody has ever given to me is my daughter, for teaching me the gift of life.  She is my teacher and constantly teaching me new things that nobody in the world could possibly do.  You can’t teach me, unless I want to learn.  Don’t try to control me, or try to make me feel little.  I accept constructive criticism, but it’s very hard for me to see things other ways, since I am so strongly set in my opinions.  You need to be an assertive communicator to get your point across with me.  You better back up your game if you’re going to convince me, because I’m a hard sell.

3 words to describe me: provocative, savvy, social, entrepreneur.  Ok that’s four!  I currently am working on some nightclub events, and launching my new website and 2012 calendar.  Going to get back into personal training shortly.  Maybe doing a stripper aerobics at Powerhouse Gym in Pearl Kai. LOL! But my dream is to own a nightclub.  I’m a soul searcher, a dreamer, sexual deviant, an entrepreneur, a connoisseur for the finer things in life, the type of girl who knows exactly what she wants, an artist, a gym head, a writer, a stylist, a bartender, a model, a designer, a socialite, a lover, a Gemini, someone who just wants someone to listen.
