Pretty. Profound.

Hello beautiful people!

Allow me to introduce myself...I am Uptown Ari. Yeah, that's me over there on the left!

Young and armed with a Bachelor's Degree I'm braced to take on the world in this cool economic climate. And I gotta tell you, I've done it all to stay afloat in this fabulous city of New York. Entertainment is a great interest of mine and I have done modeling, joined an R&B group, worked for music companies and even worked at clubs as a "party motivator!"

But this blog is about more than city life and being pretty and flashy; it's about educated women utilizing everything they have going for them. It seems that at times young women are made to feel guilty about being pretty in a corporate world as though nothing they achieve was "earned." Naturally, not every corporate environment is alike and there are both negative and positive stereotypes surrounding attractive corporate women.

I'd like to use this blog to explore the ins and outs of this societal group and open up discussion on different topics surrounding it. More directly, I'd like to address the concerns of we young women in our twenties who are driven for success!

More often than not I find myself feeling challenged and frustrated with the direction my life is headed, or isn't headed. For far too long, I have achieved by relying on wit, charm and beauty. Now that I have finished my undergraduate studies, am in a stable and happy relationship, I'm stuck with the question:

What's Next?

And let me know if I am alone in this because it seems that it is way too early for me to get married, and yet there is not enough time for me to figure out what I am supposed to do with my life before I exit my "prime." College was supposed to be the best years of my life and now they are over.

Can I go back for a little while?

If there is a topic you would like me to explore,
let me know and I will open up a "profound" discussion
that will challenge us all to be
Wise Beyond Our Beauty.
