Important Memo

Dear beloved readers!

First things first: I wanted to apologize for the lack of new material in the last few months.

Since creating this website in January 2011, exactly two years ago, a lot, happened, I mean, things just fell into place and some opportunities better than what I had EVER expected or wished for came to me. Lots of changes in my personal life as well, to say the least, and I honestly haven’t had a single second to stop and smell the new perfumes at Holt’s roses until very recently.

This website led to PatWhite.com, which had a ripple effect on my professional life: I had the occasion to cover the fashion & beauty industry, attends events, interview DJs, actors, etc. It also led to a few photo shoots, attending televised galas, and so on. Fun. Then I started writing for the Huffington Post about fashion at first, then men, then men-women relationships, beauty, etiquette, design, ecetera.

One article I wrote about men was picked up by a radio station. Then the article was translated to English and nationally published in the Huffington Post Canada. I swear, if I died tomorrow, it’d be with a large smile on my face. I’m still overwhelmed about it and oh so grateful.

I was invited a few times over to a radio station to babble about men, I do some personal styling, I have a full time job apart from everything I just mentioned. I’m also a sales rep for a Canadian product; all this to say, my downtime is pretty friggin’ scarce which brings me to this: I’m thinking of shutting down this website.

I’ve been using Twitter (https://twitter.com/zefashionblog) as my fave social media to vent off and rant about North Korea, vintage photography, provocative art, all this using double negatives and improper sarcasm.

And recently, my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/VigilantFashionista.Fashion.Blog.Personal.Stylist

I’m seriously considering shutting down this website and only using my Facebook page.

What do you guys think? Good move, bad move?

    Bad idea! Having presence in social networks is very important
    for a person like you, but this website gives the opportunity to handle your
    own content the way you want it; not falling into the ugly and nasty rules
    facebook has pushed all its users. Keep up with your site, perhaps a new background
    to spicy it up!

    I truly believe you are more than capable of handling this site, despite the fact of your feeling “overwhelmed”. I know for a fact that this is just the beginning of a bright series of successes and rewards that are coming your way. I leave you with one of my all time favorite quotes “When I thought I couldn’t go on, I forced myself to keep going. My success is based on persistence, not luck.” – Estée Lauder
