Welcome to A POISEd Life.

Hello, and welcome to the only insider's guide to creating and publishing a student-run fashion magazine.

As founder and current President and Editor-in-Chief of POISEfashion, Ohio University's first and only fashion magazine (www.poisefashion.com), I am thrilled to present you with the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Join us in our journey toward publication through the presentation of behind-the-scenes photos, official POISEfashion documents, and interviews with POISE staffers, models, and professional contacts. This sneak-peak of POISE will help you to feel like a real staffer, and will give you a better understanding of what it means to live A POISEd Life.

While I start this blog as an independent assignment for an online journalism class, it will continue to be a work-in-progress for as long as I continue to work with POISEfashion. Because it is a journalistic blog, I will possess complete control over editorial content and judgment, and thus promise to uphold the ethical standards and integrity applied to all journalists. In addition, I will present my blog in a fashion that both maintains the high standards of being associated with POISEfashion, and adheres to the rules and regulations that appear in the POISEfashion Staff Agreement Contract.

Because your questions and comments will help the POISEfashion enterprise grow and improve its content and workings, your feedback (both negative and positive) is not only welcomed, but encouraged as well.

Without further ado, it is my pleasure to introduce you to A POISEd life. I hope you enjoy.

I think the fact that you created your own fashion magazine is amazing. How do you stay on top of what is in style? I feel like I'm always the last person to know what the trends are. Also, where can I get a copy of POISE?

Looking forward to finding out how you decide what stories to cover in POISE, as well as some behind the scenes photos.

I'm pretty excited about some of the content you are talking about posting. I saw on the link to the Poise website that the magazine also covers issues like entertainment and health. Are you going to focus on just fashion for this blog or all of those issues? I really like the design of the website too!
