Loyalty is Vintage.

Loyalty is vintage because it is dated, and it is only in style for people who truly appreciate its ethic.

The industry I work in, there is no such of a thing. Oh, wait. There is a supreme and deniable loyalty to MONEY (for some). Which just brings more life to “the L-VE of money is the root of all evil”. Friendships have turned casual and lifeless now, whether its in the streets or my job place. To call someone you friend is as impulsive as buying a pack of gum at the check out line. I mean, we all say how big a deal the word friendship is, but friendship and loyalty go hand and hand and is a game of more show, than tell. Sometimes, loyalty requires you either to stand up for something or someone by verbally defending them, or sometimes loyalty requires you to just shut the fuck up about things that are sacred and binding. Even in a fallout between two or many, if there was ever any TRUE devotion involved, your heart will not let your mind spoil that faithfulness.


My loyalty has been questioned with where I work because I promote myself more than I do my place of business. Because I would like to move on progressively from strip, I keep one foot out the door, to keep me grounded and aware of my goals. Even though I am not against the club, its said that I am not AS loyal as other ladies working for the club, because my heart does not bleeeeed strip. So does this mean that I am not loyal? Can your character still harbor loyalty if its not unconditional? I think that in this particular example with the club, I show my loyalty by not defaming there name or secretly working for other establishments (since we are not allowed to), things I cant TELL them about, I can only demonstrate. I hope they’re looking.
But the actual definition of loyalty is lost in translation amongst business, friends, relationships, etc. The act of being loyal is determined differently with every person and/or object you decide to devote yourself to. Fist example was (above), where I work, second example, my circle of friends. When you choose to let someone into a part of your heart that generates some kind of emotion, even if its just mild emotion, you should expect to show them some kind of moral conduct out of respect. If you cant be devoted to someone you are calling your friend, then you need to call them something else. Perhaps, a pal, an associate, and acquaintance, anything but a friend. Don’t muddy the true significance of a friend with people whom you have no plans on fighting for (figuratively speaking), defending, and standing up for, even in times you would rather be somewhere else. I mean, that’s what friends do. Real friends are selfless, and committed.


Third example, relationships. In a relationship you need to be loyal to yourself first. If you’re not the chief defender of you heart, who will be? Women always have this bitter sweet habit of defending and/or standing by her man, no matter what. Meanwhile leaving any kind of self-l-ve in the dust. As if a man can replace any kind of self worth. Be true to yourself, and then you can give that devotion to another.


Loyalty is Chanel No5, its couture, it’s a classic patent leather pump, it’s red lipstick, it’s a string of pearls. Loyalty is the timeless piece no REAL relationship can do without. But its also so vintage and classic that this new generation fails at making it trendy. Now, you can buy friends, spouses and yes-men, and in the same day, lose them to the highest bidder. Sure, loyalty will cost you more, because it requires you to make decisions that will challenge other people when defending someone close to you even when they are wrong. It will cost you plenty of snakes in the grass and phantom faux friends who are cheap plastic earrings, very disposable and will never officially be in style. If you have to drop your circle down to even just three people, its worth it, just to know that your loyalty is 100/100 and not 50/50 is enough to make the cost of vintage couture loyalty WORTH it. There is a reason Vintage never goes away, it works, it fits, its holds no expiration date and is made for anyone that has showmanship, and when all else fails, (skinny jeans, colorful sneakers and ray bans), loyalty is still standing.
