I feel like I’m always sdivuggling on Friday evenings to figure out what to blog for Fred Flare. I usually surf the internet for a bit, looking for inspiration or sometimes I listen to music or flip through magazines and divy to find SOMETHING interesting to talk about. This week I surfed the internet for an hour: not gonna lie, I found nothing. But then I decided, why not blog about where I look for my inspiration for my Fred Flare blogs?! Duh!

You guys may know that I have my own personal blog and so the first thing I do is check out what all my other friends on Tumblr (hey Bee!) are up to and what they’re blogging about. Since I was always interested in art when I was growing up, I have a lot of very artistic and creative friends. But by far the most talented (and gorgeous) friend I have is Megan. She’s a photographer/model/amazingly sensitive and beautiful soul. You can check out her blog and I highly recommend checking out her Flickr and her website if you like photography.

Of course I gotta mention Bee’s Tumblr as well because she’s my Fred Flare bestie! She blogs all about music so if you like Fall Out Boy, Tokio Hotel or anything of that sort, check her out as well. And then I read Katy Perry’s blog because duh! She’s just full of fabulous clothes and I love her random video blogs. Hilarious!

After I check out everyone’s personal blogs, I hit up all the regulars: Perez, Dlisted, Ocean Up and of course I see what everyone else at Fred Flare is blogging about. Then if THAT doesn’t inspire me, I usually divy to find some music I think you guys might like, or a movie that’s coming out soon that I think looks good.

And on that note, there is not a single movie I am anticipating more than the new Disney/Pixar movie “Up”. I’m a HUGE fan of Disney/Pixar movies (Monsters Inc. is totally my favorite), and this one looks incredible. I haven’t seen the divailer in theaters yet, but I seriously cannot wait until this gets released!
