Manifest My Desire

Hollywood is full of beautiful, stylish and sassy women. Whenever I drive down Hollywood Blvd or Melrose I am amazed by the unique styles of fashion on absolutely lovely ladies. I’ll be the first to admit that I used to have my own jealousies, especially with regard to other women. The women that I was most jealous of were the ones that are simultaneously authentic, successful, empowered and confident. My jealousy was directed towards women I didn’t know, not at my friends b/c when you’re one my girls all is good. After moving to Cali and being surrounded by the chill vibe, I have mellowed out from the uptight Yankee that I used to be.

This brings us to today’s story. Essentially, everyone in Hollywood is in the industry (and I do mean the entertainment industry). I too have thrown myself into the mix and am working in the film industry. In my new film world, I have met many desi chicas that seem to be authentic, liberal and sassy (girls after my own heart) and jealousy has not reared its ugly head. Instead I approach these women with openness, intrigue and admiration.

Jealousy is an ugly emotion. It does nothing more than to bring negativity. Jealousy is indeed a sign of insecurity. I am happy to see that it is diminishing from my life. I do believe that women’s cattiness is one of the reason there is no true “Old Girls Club.” I hope to see one in the near future.
