adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

After our morning walk and my morning spin the best part of the day is right now. The few moments where we relax together just like this. (Taken with instagram)

Lest anyone think my love for the Givenchy Nightingale has waned in the least…
I am going to leave this 3-toned version here for our viewing pleasure.

I actually just bought this puppy. I can’t wait for her to arrive!

katiewashere:

One beautiful April morning, on a narrow side street in Tokyo’s fashionable Harujuku neighborhood, I walked past the 100% perfect girl.

Tell you the truth, she’s not that good-looking. She doesn’t stand out in any way. Her clothes are nothing special. The back of her hair is still bent out of shape from sleep. She isn’t young, either - must be near thirty, not even close to a “girl,” properly speaking. But still, I know from fifty yards away: She’s the 100% perfect girl for me. The moment I see her, there’s a rumbling in my chest, and my mouth is as dry as a desert.

Love this.

In addition to an intern (paid), I’m looking for a part-time community manager (paid) to do some monitoring and content updating including building out a community on Pinterest and Tumblr for a client. Hours are probably about 15-20 per month although could scale up…

Email me if you’re interested. sap (at) lifelovepursuit.com

Would prefer NYC based…if not must be super organized and would require a bit of a test project.

I really need the following so if you know anyone…

  • Freelance copywriter to do some web/social media content - the brands are all really awesome and the content is fun, full of personality. Would be fairly consistent but low scale…around 5 hours per month to start. 
  • Intern to learn the ins and outs of the world of social media and consulting in a dynamic and growing environment. Opportunity to get hands dirty and dive in and be a part of some amazing projects as well as learn the basics from a team of experts. Huge growth potential and tons of good old fashioned learning as well. 

Looking for both asap so if you are interested or if you know anyone please let me know! sap (at) lifelovepursuit.com

Update: Intern must be in NYC, copywriter can be remote. Send me a note if you’re interested.
