Forever 21

An elevator to C, but an escalator to A.

And fuck, the Forever 21 is closed.

I wonder if Express has a sale, but it's on the other side of the earth in the mall.

And I don't know if my legs or my mind can take it any longer.

But it actually, like, this happened years ago.

Do you remember that Forever 21 on Newberry Street?

Mm-hmm.

this man was following me up and down Newbury Street and I was just like walking and I kept crossing because I'm also savvy, so I know.

I'm not too like, you know, overly aware, but I definitely have my wits about me.

That's what my mom would say.

And I walked into, you know, Forever 21 and this man was, I just knew.

My sensors just turned on.

But it was because my ex was like five months younger than me.

And like a lot of our friends, we worked at Forever 21.

And so everybody was like 18 to 22.

And so that's why like I knew my friend who was over 21.

But as I was getting more deeper into the industry, I realized... maybe I have a shot you know and I think that I always been a very driven person by nature so if I do anything I want to do it to a max right it took me a second to figure out the industry but as soon as I got a taste of it I was like oh this is my pass and I see the direction and this is what I want to do and I succeeded um and got a pretty good results in modeling I was lucky enough to model for Victoria's Secret.

I've been on campaign for Forever 21.

I worked for a lot of shows like Hermes and been on countless of magazines.

I did also SI.

This is amazing.

Yes.

For people who are really interested in to know, you know, why did you stop the modeling? You know, if you're working with brands like Victoria's Secret, Hermes, Forever 21, you know, billboarders and campaigns, why would you want to stop that? So I will

tell you, When I was doing modeling, I thought I will be one of those models that like died modeling, you know, that kind of career.

And then eventually, like, that trend, like, blew up.

And, like, Forever 21 was doing it.

And it was just like, okay, this is done.

What's next? I had a bunch of things kind of go on in that meantime, but like a failed internship, like it just wasn't going anywhere.

So iconic.

That's what this is giving more than Forever 21.

Yeah,

I did kind of...

Is Forever 21 still around? I think it is, right?

Yeah, every so often they're like, we're going out of business, we're bankrupt, and then somehow they're still around.

Yeah.

there is something a little comforting about walking through a forever 21 where you're just like there's just everything here not that you actually want any of it but

I don't even know what the price is for it on the website, but it's worth it.

I used to be the guy that would buy like 15 shirts from like H&M and Forever 21 all this bullshit quality.

I like good quality.

I like fewer things, but just a little bit better quality.
