I’m always THAT girl who points out how movie costumes aren’t historically accurate while we watch hehehe

I'm autistic with only a shitty high school education but im insanely creative. if I could post pics you'd be amazed. But I have trouble with customer service sometimes and I would do best in a job where someone just gives me pinned pieces or a stack of fabric and a pattern and I'll be good to go as long as I'm paid well

[@cherrydayz]

Sounds like a lucky break. At least she was honest haha Like this is what success is. It's luck. The right place, right time. The talent and skills are there so you can maintain that luck imo

[@rbersani1]

Do you think age makes a difference. This is something I always wanted to do but I had a missed opportunity years ago. I would like to do this in a year or two when I retire. What do you think honestly?

[@marcellakins1]

I honestly don't think age matters at all! You've got your whole life ahead of you, why not go after what you want?

[@joaovasco6509]

its so hard to focus on a interview when all you listen is: like, like, like...

[@christinemcinnis4810]

Helpful info but I'm like really, like, tired of, like, hearing like so much.

[@MyRoadtoHollywood]

Was this necessary?

[@mishmash6570]

Many ppl say it as a nervous habit. Shut up it’s harmless
