Twin and I- we share a common love for Food, Travel, Soaps, Art & Fashion! (we also watch and like the same movies, ogle at the same hot man, listen to each other's playlists on repeat and exchange the same remarks about people and events!). and how can I forget read the same pulp fiction- we HOARD on books on Vampires and fiction (chick-flicks included) and are pretty sure we could auction off a library at teh rate that we are going! So when, we had to exchange our notes on the W.I.P (short for work in progress) report of our lives we had one common exclamation point- CHANGE!
We were bored of working our ****s off to glory Kingdom come and frustrated because we got paid peanuts for it. Our peers were sprinting through the marathon and we were sitting glum, beside the side fence, watching the Earth spin by.
Now, we have both known each other to doodle through our college classes, pretty-up our accessories' collections; and beam at the joy of getting to shop! I would be conceited in saying this, but let's be honest; we have a pretty solid foundation for sense of styling - clothes, make-up, hair, accessories; you name it!
Double chocolate coat that- we love colours and spend hours of our weekends, re-modifying things at home, re-decorating what is lying around and fancying knick-knacks out of the craft lying around. As much as we love Forever New (our favorite fairy-land clothing store); we go bonkers at hobby ideas!
So...it all began when one day we entered this kitsch store with home decor stuff; you know of these plenty of upcoming retails that we all love shopping from for the funkiest gifts. There was this one 'kettle' painted and hanging at the entrance of the door which just caught our attention. We go "hmmmm...wonder what's that for?" and the lady attending to us says " oh! its just something for your window garden ....to hang as a decor..". We approved. And of course the next progressive question was "how much?", and she returns a sweet smile quoting a '700' for it. We each heaved a sigh and looked around for things we wanted to pick up, and we did. A lot!
There used to be this place on carter road that we both discovered through online newsletters and Time-Out magazine, when we most needed it; Aloha Paletas ( paletas in spanish for popsicles). We loved their strawberry cheesecake popsicles and the Fruitilicious popsicle. Bust sadly, it got shut and we din't even realize. We missed it dearly.
While rummaging through work scenes, our dreams, Ian Sommerhalder and those peers of our who were sprinting across the field ( and many more successful entrepreneurs whose works we see displayed and getting sold online and many stores) over her subway and my LSD cupcake- we go "why not?!".
So that's when Beautiful Freaks started. For the love of Kettles and Popsicles and our project to make pretty things, we are taking our baby-steps!
