Welcome to the
Wall Street Fashion website.
Are you curious
what this website is about? If yes, that is an
amazing coincidence. I am curious as well.
As I started to
type out a "purpose" for this website (a reason
for this sites existence, I quickly realized
that similar to the first few days (or first
weeks) of the
Occupy Wall Street movement, I do not
actually have a clear game plan. Although I
understand that something important
needs to be done today, I am not certain in
which direction to move. Rather then wonder the
rest of the day aimlessly, it appears that I
quickly need to figure out exactly "what" to
achieve, and "how" to achieve "what" I
subsequently decided to achieve (yes I know
that was a poorly structured sentence). Maybe I
should take another sip of
coffee and brainstorm some ideas..
OK, that sip
went down smoothly. Wow, even after my
caffeine injection and brainstorming session
with myself, I still have no
preconceived objective and therefore no clear
action plan on how to reach my non existent
goals. Fortunately, I am lucky enough (possibly
clever enough) to be at least "aware"
of my dilemma. As
they often say, admitting ones problem is
one of the first steps in correcting the
problem. I guess now that I admitted to myself
that I am disorganized and with little focus, I
can now overcome my current
deficit of
productivity.
Wow, this is
turning out to most probably be the absolute
worst introduction to a website in the
history of the internet.
The good news for me is that being the "absolute
worst" at something means you are actually the
"best at being the worst". Looking at the glass
half full, this would mean that my poorly
conceived website is actually turning out to be
the "best" at something. Isn't that an
accolade for me?
OK, openly
admitting that I have not yet pre-planned a well
thought out website is certainly a foolish way
to start off this project. However, if this
introduction to the Wall Street Fashion
website is so horribly foolish, how come you are
actually reading the words that I am currently
typing? If my intro is actually as poorly
preconceived as I have pointed out, wouldn't you
have
vanished by now. By the way, please
don't claim that you did not actually read what
I have sad above because I can clearly sense
that you are still reading. It is true that
I can't prove that you are still here, but I am
pretty sure that I still have your attention (at
least your partial attention). In addition to
the fact that I believe you are still here, I
am freakishly certain that you will read the
next sentence as well. In order to be fair, I
will create a paragraph break in a moment. This
will give you the opportunity to stop reading.
However, just incase you have not noticed, I
should point out that you have "already" read an
additional sentence or two since I told you that
I was freakishly certain you would. Anyway,
let's get back to
business
(the business of explaining what this website is
about).
Now that we all
understand that I am developing this website
with no clear pre-planned direction, let's all
just sit back and enjoy the ride. Who knows,
this
venture may lead us
somewhere interesting. By the way, I guess
that being a poor planner (and poor website
creator) is one of the reasons that I wound up
working in the
fashion industry and not
working on
Wall
Street.

What matters more, "Money" or
"Fashion"?
Do we need
money to buy fashion?
Does
wearing the proper fashion help
us make money?
Can money
buy style?
Can style
buy love?
What is in
your wallet?
Do you shop
at
luxury retailers or at
Walmart? Or both? |
Alright, I think that I have tormented
you enough by making you read above.
Hopefully, you were clever enough to
find the
secret door way which would
have brought you directly to this
section of the page. Our secret
door would have helped you skip the
nonsense above. Regardless of how you
got here, I am glad you have persevered.
The
Wall Street Fashion website is being
developed so that we can all learn and
discuss the elements that link the
fashion industry to the
financial industry.
Here
are a few questions that may help our
research:
