They Made A Statue of Us Part 2

Okay, so today I went to Tysons Corner Center...basically my haven. Without the intention to shop, I brought $40 with me, courtesy of my mother, who thought it would be sufficient for me to only have $40 at Tysons. Well, that was extremely false and it took all of my will-power to not buy anything, other than the pack of $1.50 pastel headbands from Forever 21 and the Smoked Salmon at Costal Flats, which do not order that by the way unless you actually know you like smoked fish.

Anyway, back to the money situation. I have not had a job in a little less than a year, and I cannot wait until my Gap job starts. It is outrageous how much money I have borrowed from my mother. I not only feel bad for her, but for myself because who do I think I am? The same spoiled Chanel I was when I was 12? Not the case. So besides my job at the Gap this summer I need to find ways to hustle for money. When I say hustle, I am excluding selling drugs, just to be clear.

Here are some ideas that I found:

1. Become a recording artist
  • In theory, I can sing. Not many people know that about me. Now it is time for me to tell the world what I'm capable of. Maybe throw down some demos, some release parties, hackle record companies. This could happen...all you have to do is believe.
    • Pro: I would make bank.
    • Con: This could never happen.
2. Personal Shopper
  • I would be awesome at this job. Also, think about it. People who get personal shoppers are loaded, which means I would be seeing a lot of green.
    • Pro: I would make bank, yet again.
    • Con: How would I even approach this? Flyers?
3. Be Jessica Simpson's Personal Assistant
  • Okay so J. Simps has lost her touch within the industry, but come on, who wouldnt want to be paid from a celebrity. I think on one of my VH1 marathon days, there was some snipet in time that said Simps's assistant was her best friend or something around those lines. Being BFFs with J. Simps could have its perks, especially when it is my birthday and she decides to buy me that Marc Jacobs Huge Hillier Hobo bag.
    • Pro: I would make bank.
    • Con: I would end up slapping J. Simps at some point.
4. Marry an NFL Player
  • Eh...
5. Sell bootlegs on the streets of Herndon.
  • Who says you have to go to Canal Street or Harlem to get all of your bootlegs? I'll be on the corner of Elden and Locust everyday from 9AM-5PM.
    • Pro: There isnt any.
    • Con: There are numerous ways that would involved me getting robbed, murdered, or the worst...socially humilliated.
Got any better ideas? I feel like I might fall short of 4/5 of these ideas. I have three more months.

  2. please sell bootlegs on the streets of herndon. or better yet, watches. but to sell watches you need a trench coat and then you just hang the watches on the inside of your coat.
    Just think, this could be you, in all your watch selling glory:
