Alicia shares “Fashiona’s” History
Dr. Jekyll had Mr. Hyde, Beyoncé has Sasha Fierce…I have “Fashiona”. My friend from high school,koko, before she became mrs. koko( yes she prefers lowercase letters) and preggers with baby no. 4
, suggested that I share the history of “Fashiona“.
Well… we creative people are always cooking up ideas, some fully develop quickly and some stay in the incubator.
I literally woke up one day with the character “Fashiona“ on my mind and jotted down the first few paragraphs of what I posted as my first blog entry - Fashiona’s Merry go-round. I came up with the name “Fashiona” as tribute to the fashionista - a woman who is forever fashionable. “Fashiona“ evolves with me as I am make my way through the world of fashion. I feel very fortunate to be able to turn my childhood obsession into my life’s work and share my some of my adventures through “Fashiona“.
Now Fashiona did attend and have a ball at the live taping of Heaven Sent-Rock your Fashion event on Tuesday. She will tell you more but she is also writing for other outlets and is still deciding just how to tell the tale and to whom and in which order. Alicia “aka”
I agree, to live out your childhood dream is definitely LIVING. Congrats on finding what most people are still searching for… and we’d love to hear your story.
I am happy for you that you are living out your dreams. What a blessing
I loved hearing about the genesis of Fashiona and I look forward to going along with you on your adventures through your blog 
I never thought to develop a character for my blog LOL. I guess I really will never be a fiction writer (thats OK its not my dream), in fact as I’ve got more used to blogging I’ve started using my real name more and more: I guess that’s my brand. I like Fashiona and look forward to reading more of her adventures!
