Here I come

“Lie-de-vin” has to meanings. It refers to the dregs of wine and the color “wine” (red to maroon).
Wine. Vinotinto. Lie-de-vin.
A color, I believe, painted after the inspiration of passion, intensity, love, boldness, profoundness, authenticity and seduction. A tone by which this blog was inspired.
I started reading blogs roughly four months ago. It all began one afternoon reading teenvogue. Then I saw an article about a blog called karlascloset. So I got online, and checked it out. I don’t want to bore you with all the specifics, but from reading that blog, I started reading and mostly checking almost any fashion blog you can imagine. The Sartorialist. Seaofshoes. Jak & Jill. Photos de Mode. Garance Dore. Leblogdebetty. Just to name a few.
Haunted by this extremely interesting universe, I started to vary my daily blog reads, to now be proud announcing I don’t merely read fashion, but economics, politics and personal thoughts and ventures as well. Developing this weird unknown crave to express myself to the world. To raise my voice.
At first, I didn’t knew if I was ready to launch myself like that with such an incredibly big, critical and demanding audience as all the users of the world wide web and blog-readers. I felt uncomfortably exposed just by giving it a thought. And I just kept asking myself the same question over and over again: What would my blog be about?
Finally, just a few minutes ago, as I wrote this first post, the answer came to me. This blog will be about me. It sounds cocky, I know. But isn’t that what all blogs are about? About ourselves? So yes, it’s going to be entirely about me. About my concerns for the world. About my thoughts on politics, economy and current events. About my feelings, thoughts and reflections. About my desires. About what I have learned.
I promise it will be interesting, fun, unpredictable and unlike any other you have read. I now commit myself to the task of blogging, hoping to get a lot of feedbacks, good or bad, I appreciate honesty more than anything, but I do ask you please for respect in your comments and e-mails; since like you’ll soon notice, I can get pretty radical and controversial.
So here it is. My invitation towards all of you fellow bloggers, blog-readers, lovers of the world wide web, to be my partners in this new unknown adventure in lie-de-vin.
Sincerely, The Wine Girl.
