Name: Raleigh Barton
age: 24
hometown: Savannah, Georgia
bio: There’s no mistaking Raleigh for anything but a pure bred southern darling. She’s not as wild as most girls but she definitely has her southern priorities in order – with family and good food at the top of that list. Raleigh was always a social butterfly and after finish her communications degree at UIC, she flourished at Skirt PR. But all the success in the world couldn’t make up for the fact that she missed her friends and family so she moved back and started a new position at Allure Events. There was another person she missed, her first everything. But she doesn’t let herself think about him even though he has no problem reminding Raleigh just why she fell in love with him in the first place.
occupation: managing director of pr
likes: cooking, parties, fast cars, old movies, planning
dislikes: confrontation, fast food, scary movies, smoking, winter
looks: Rita Ora
status: complicated
 
ehh, this storyboard ain’t all that but my set making abilities kinda suck right now so sorry!
 
i. the girl: raleigh always has a huge, genuine smile on her face. she loves to make people laugh and is very stubborn.
 
ii. the job: she helps in handling allure’s events with promotion, especially through social media
 
iii. the man: gabriel straitford, 25; one hundred percent grit and rock and roll. he’s the quintessential bad boy who stole raleigh’s heart when she was fourteen and broke it when she was eighteen. he has an infectious smile and troublemaking in his bones.
 
iv. the ladies: clara, 23 (left) is raleigh’s best friend since grade school. she’s a librarian by day and a stripper by night. francis, 25 (right) is raleigh’s half-sister from when her adulterous father slept with their maid. she’s raleigh’s closest friend and is a dance teacher.

I've been wanting to be in a rp with @giannanoelle since our CLV days. lol

storyboard - http://www.polyvore.com/she_asked_what_have_learned/set?id=73303123

Inspired by @luxecouture @etchasketchinlola and recently @the-wild-things to write a small bloggy.
 
one. I interviewed for an internship with Lulu Frost last month and I GOT IT!!! I'm so excited to start in April and finally get into the fashion industry. For anyone who wants some advice, never ever let not having connections stop you from following your dreams.
 
two. I've been thinking a lot about my future and I think I've finally narrowed down what type of journalism I'd like to pursue. I always thought I had to know right out of high school exactly where I wanted my life to go, and now I just take it one day at a time - it's been fun learning new things about myself everyday.
 
three. I don't know if you can tell from my song choices as of late, but I'm really getting into country music. It's weird but nice, lol.
 
four. I've started to wear make-up, generally caring more about my appearance. Not for any guy or anything and I have to say it's a great confidence boost.
 
five. Since I have no class on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, when I'm not in the city, I've been watching a hell of a lot of One Tree Hill. I forgot how much I loved over-dramatic high school dramas.
 
six. I'm making more of an effort to eat healthier and live simply. It's time I start focusing on what matters and cutting out the poison in my life.
 
seven. Just a question, is it me or has polyvore gotten kind of crappy lately? I mean hardly anyone gets on (including me) and there no hardly any roleplays like the old ones. Wah wah wah, I guess I complain too much. lol
 
xo farah
 
p.s. @oscar-wilde tagged me and I loved her questions so here we go...
 
1.) how would you describe what you/your perfume smells like [not necessarily the brand]?
Hmm...light, clean, and floral. It's a body mist so it smells like spring time and fresh laundry.
 
2.) 3 things you always keep on you/in your purse?
Iphone, lip balm, and e.l.f. oil absorbing sheets (incredible and only a $1 at Target)
 
3.) who is your favourite artist [painting, photography, etc.] ?
uhh, I'm not too sure. lol
 
4.) what time of day do you like most?
late afternoon; the air is still a bit chilly but the sun is out in full force.
 
5.) when was the last time you volunteered, donated, or did something for someone else, even though you knew you wouldn't get a reward?
two years ago my choir and I volunteered to feed the homeless - it was aa very humbling experience.
 
6.) when you feel scared/lonely at night, what's one thing that cheers you up?
writing about anything or joking around with my sister.
 
7.) which family members are you closest to?
my sister definitely.
 
8.) we usually ask each other what characteristics our 'perfect' soulmmates would have, so let me ask the opposite; what's an imperfection that you wouldn't mind or even embrace your boyfriend/girlfriend having?
I wouldn't mind having a boyfriend who was a bit stubborn because I am too. lol
 
9.) do you think you're growing more mature as years pass, or simply just getting physically older?
I think i'm defintiely more mature but I still act like a three year sometimes lol
 
10.) what foreign language do you like the sound of best?
Italian.
 
11.) what is keeping you from pursuing your biggest dream?
Fear of not being good enough and fear or rejection and fear of failing; basically fear.

This set is one hundred and fifty million percent dedicated to the sweetest, funniest, coolest chick on polyvore, Angie @etchasketchinlola . You're always there with great advice whether it's about fashion, real life, or roleplays. You're writing and your fashion sense have always been huge inspirations for me and I hope you'll be on this site as long as I am, continuing in making extraordinary creations.
 
I hope you have an incredible birthday (or had an incredible birthday if you don't see this till later) and I wish you all the happiness in the world.
 
love,
Farah

bio: emily always knew that she’d be forever rooted to the sleepy town that raised her. the harrison’s have a legacy reaching back decadesas one of hope spring’s founding families. surprisingly though, after finishing her four years at indiana university, emily realized that she might enjoy a life outside of new york. she became a sorority sister, excelled at her early childhood education classes, and even found love. but after her father’s sudden heart attack, emily has found herself right back in hope springs, forced to start her life over again.
model: n/a
 

I’m not using a model for this rp either because I’d spend at least a week looking for one and then end up changing her anyways. Lol, this is much easier! So here’s a brief description of Emily and how she looks.
 
Appearance: Emily has lightly tanned skin with light green/blue eyes. Her dark chestnut hair falls to the middle of her back and is naturally wavy. She looks mostly like these three girls: http://s-implyfarah.tumblr.com/post/42698880130 | http://s-implyfarah.tumblr.com/post/42660088374 | http://s-implyfarah.tumblr.com/post/42644574371
 
She’s 5’6” and her build is skinny/slightly athletic and she has a rounder, fuller bottom. Her body mostly looks like these three girls: http://s-implyfarah.tumblr.com/post/25858736889 | http://s-implyfarah.tumblr.com/post/28602452914 | http://s-implyfarah.tumblr.com/post/36921287620
