April 5th. C’est mon anniversaire<\/em>, mes ch\u00e9ries!\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Quite excited; another year passed, and so many more to go. It’s quite fantastic, getting older. Birthdays are not reminders of physical aging (as so many women tend to think), but instead, a celebration of learning, loving, experiencing, failures, and successes – all of which help to pave the way for another year yet to come. A fresh start, so to speak. To head into the next year of your life.<\/p>\n

I’ve kept my age hidden since the start of La Couturier<\/em>. In part because I rather enjoy the air mysteriousness entitled to a blogerette (so I’ve titled myself) – like a mask at a masquerade ball – in essence, it gives a sense of secrecy. At the same time, I yearned for anonymity, in the hopes that leaving my age covert would allow for my work, my writing, my ideas, my advice, etc. more credible<\/strong> and unbiased<\/strong> – sometimes age can lead to pre-judgement. And because I find it rather entertaining to read the\u00a0persistent demands for my age and guesses from you\u00a0ch\u00e9ries<\/em>. All of which seem to fall uniformly from the early to late twenties<\/strong>. I must say that I am rather flattered at such inferences. After all, the twenties seem to be the perfect age, where I could establish myself as an independent individual in society, beginning my career. How I long to reach the twenties<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

Why? Simply because I am only sixteen, going on seventeen<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

Bisous,<\/p>\n

La C.<\/p>\n

P.S.: Why tell now? Because I figured I wouldn’t have any other opportunity other than this to make use of such adorable lines from the lyrics of “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” (an adorable number in The Sound of Music<\/em>). I do hope that if you have any questions about anything and everything, that you will not hesitate to ask. If not, I do understand.<\/p>\n

P.P.S.: I’ve gotten quite a few emails requesting a Question & Answer<\/strong> post. So ask, ask, ask! Ask a general question, or go as specific as you please. Or forever hold your piece! (Or is it peace<\/em>?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
