What's is in a name? Does it define who and what we are? What we mean to people? Or what we mean to ourselves? In some cases I think so... Krissy Vaine was a character that I conjured up in my imagination about eight years ago. She's been to a lot of places and done a lot of things. She has been a WWE Diva (for a hot second) and spent many hours on the road working the independent circuit. She has made friends and enemies. She has seen the good, the bad and the ugly (and has been ugly hersel...

"If at first you don't succeed, try to hide your astonishment" could not have been a more perfect title to Vainety Fair today. Just the thought made me double over in laughter to put a light spin on what could be considered a painful day. You see, I was rejected today. Yes me, Krissy Vaine, rejected for the millionth, bazillionth time in my life and it was not fun! Honestly, rejection never gets easier, but the amount of time I take it personally has reduced drastically over the years. Thank g...

"Who believes in me?"... A question I have often asked myself and at times had a hard time answering, just as I'm sure many of you have. Sometimes I don't even believe in myself. How can I possibly say that? We should all believe in ourselves. Have faith we can attain our goals and achieve our dreams, but what blocks us from doing so? I'm a prime example of fear over running my life and letting it get the best of me. How do we, myself included, keep from living a "fear based" life in a fear ...

Krissy is looking for your ideas for her next column. What would you like to see her write about in the next edition of Vainety Fair? Let us know in the comments!...

Gosh, where do I start? Everyone prepare themselves for a random column this week! First of all, hey y'all! How you doing? I hope everyone is doing great this holiday season! I sure am! Whew, I have been slammed recently with my business and it has left me little to no time at the computer! I'm not complaining though -- I feel totally blessed. We are in a recession, you know! So much has been happening, I don't even know where to start. Well here's some good news -- I have started working...

How many of us actually follow our fate? Our life purpose? Or our path? The signs seem to always be there, but do we listen or pay attention? And how long can you ignore what keeps being put in front of you by something that is bigger than you. My signs have always been pretty prevalent and loud, sort of like my personality. There have been times when I have paid attention and there have been times when I have chosen ego over a divine purpose. I believe we are all here to do something, but ...

I'd like to think that I have a knack for knowing something or someone special, or seeing something worth looking at or paying attention to. I believe everyone has that power. Whether or not we pay attention to it is our own decision. My time as a full time Diva made life very interesting as there were always those coming in and out of the system and I would pretty much be able to peg them and their future. Although I could always see the fate of others, I never was able to do the same for m...

I had been stumped as to what to write about this week. I'm one of those people who have to be 'inspired' in order to speak or write in this case. I guess I feel like if what I have to say isn't interesting or if I can't be passionate while writing, then it's just best to sit back on my pink aura lol (insert joke here) and simmer. But alas, something came to me tonight; I felt fidgety like I needed to talk but couldn't tell if, maybe, it was just the full moon coming this week that's throwin...

Hey y'all, sorry for the delay! It's been a crazy few weeks but I saw this on Facebook and thought it would be a cool thing to do for Vainety Fair. Hope I don't bore y'all too much!!! It's called "25 Things You Don't Know About Me"... 1. I love coming home to a clean house! 2. I don't mind my car being dirty... 3. I could definitely be described as having OCD. 4. I'm a workaholic and FAILURE is my biggest fear in life. 5. Rejection is hard for me to deal with but I believe it builds g...

Hey y'all and welcome to the first Vainety Fair! We can all applaud Melanie for the clever name for my new column. When I was pondering about what to write for my first contribution to Diva Dirt, I thought to myself... what can I talk about that would be interesting to the masses? I want to keep my audience captive, but I also want to keep it real. So I decided after much deliberation to use myself as the 'butt of the joke' and talk about the aging Diva. During my tenure as a full-time enter...
