Dear you.

.

My name is Eliane, but call me Ela, just as all my friends do. And since I’m going to spill my guts here in the future, I sort of feel that you became one of my friends just by reading this. Who I am is a student, a journalist, a part-time model, a fashion addict, an art lover, a book reader, a music listener, a movie viewer, a theatre spectator, a sun worshipper, a rain enthusiast, a snow devotee, a city person, a mountain dweller, an ocean admirer, a globe trotter, and with the move I’m doing right here right now, I am all of a sudden as well a blog writer…

.

The only problem with this is that I don’t read blogs. Not that I wouldn’t dignify this new opportunity of written expression or not that I wouldn’t like to read. As a student, a journalist and as a book reader I naturally fall for both. The reason that I don’t read blogs is that I am a bit old fashioned as far as the written word is concerned. I simply don’t like reading on a screen, but I do have a serious fetish for magazines, books, newspapers and any other kind of letters on tangible paper. And that’s what made me (doubtlessly a kid of 21st virtual space century) so far locking the written word out of my letterbox rather than loading it into my mailbox.

.

Now when the girls at Quiksilver Women asked me if I was interested in holding a blog on their website, you might be able to imagine what dilemma I was caught in since I don’t read blogs… I mean, it was Quiksilver Women calling. The brand I fell in love with at first sight. Of course, I wanted to hold a blog on their website, but how in this world was I supposed to start this thing?

.

Being totally clueless might make others give up, but not me. I’m a fighter. At least in those cases in which I have someone else to kiss my arse and make me fight… Here is the significant kissing-arse-story among my first blog-entry: I had tea with a friend of mine a couple of nights ago and there was this quote on the teabag that said ‘By honouring your words, you are honoured in this world’. I interpreted this as a sign and I thought I might just have to give my words a chance, also within a blog. So I went to Quiksilver Women’s website to find some inspiration for the defining moment of writing my first blog-entry. It must have been destiny because this website was where I bumped into a wallpaper-quote that would bear ‘goodwill’ as a middle name if it actually had a name. However, this miracle of a sentence said ‘Now it’s about what I create for myself’…

.

And here we go, this is what I created for myself, but to share with you. My first blog-entry. Not only an appeal to you to start create what matters only for yourself as well but also an invite to come back here every once in a while and share the Quiksilver Women blog creations anew. I’m looking forward to sharing with you whatever women of our kind want to share, building up on our one thing in common: The love for the effortless, independent and classic elegance of Quiksilver Women’s collection.

.

Thanks for honouring my words, now it’s about what you create for yourself,

.

Ela
