The Skully Files 1
First let me start out by telling you how I got this idea to start a website. Has anyone ever told you, your always in the right place at the right time, or that things always happen for a reason? Well I truly believe in this.
I could go way back to the day I was conceived. I won’t bore you with the details but I’ll take you back to I’ll say maybe 6 months ago. I was asked by my club to head our charitable organization, with the help of many of my sisters That lead to one idea after another in my head as to how we can raise funds for these organizations. It’s a passion of mine to help others. I’ve always been this way. To me helping just one person in life makes life worth living in my eyes and always will.
Anyway, so one day I’m on facebook and I see this post from a guy who is a member of a 1% MC club. Right away I was intrigued because he was raising funds for a sick child, and it drew my attention. So I followed his posts for the next month. This man didn’t stop, it seemed like every other day he was doing good things for people. I knew I wanted to meet him instantaneously and because of that I had a brilliant idea. What if I talk to this guy, tell him I admire what he does for others, and see if he would like to join forces for the greater good. People think I have nuts of steel when it comes to approaching people, well they couldn’t be more wrong. It’s one of those self-help things I’m always working on. I use to be shy, Really!! And for people who know me stop laughing. It’s true.
So I message buddy, and ask him to meet, and he said yes. See never be to afraid to ask anything, you get told no, you move on, and try again and he met with me that week. I went to where he worked, and holy crap he is busy, but gotta love him, he made time. He thought it was a great idea to work together to raise funds and hold events, but unfortunately, he was super busy at this time in his life. No wonder though, the man dedicates his life to helping others, but he did offer a great idea. See, ideas, there a wonderful thing. He suggested starting a monthly paper. This led to me meeting with one of the executives at the women’s shelter that I have met with in the past. She thought it was a great idea, but suggested maybe doing the paper over media, creating a website.
Anyway I won’t bore you with the rest of the details, but than everything just seemed to fall into place. And we now have the creation of Dollz by Dezign. Voila!!!.
So now that the idea is in my head and I’ve talked everybody’s ear off about it, and I find that all of the people I’ve been chatting it up with think it’s a fucking awesome idea as well and how can they help. This is where my bloggists, sponsors, the web designer, my club sisters and the men and women I ride with, friends, daughter, and my fiancé (poor guy, he’s now realizing once I set my mind to something look out, gotta love him) all come into play. They helped me build this, and I thank them from the bottom of my heart…
Now I will tell you the bigger reason why and what is contained within these cyber walls. BTW I’m like completely computer illiterate, well not now, it hasn’t been easy, but god knows I would have loved to throw this laptop a couple of times and I’m sure my web designer wants to strangle me by now.
The bigger reason behind this creation is many things. One, until a few years back I had a huge mistrust of women, but I find now, that I am learning who I really am, and letting my walls down, my heart is opening up to them and realize there wasn’t much there to mistrust, it was me. We won’t go into the why’s of that right now, that’s another bat time another bat channel. There are so many good women in the world I have realized, and completely surround my everyday living, each one of them I’ve met in the past few years, even women from the past I should have given the chance, all want the same thing, to be respected, be loved, be themselves, and we all believe being empowered and empowering other women is important. If you could help that one woman or one person have it better than you did, learn from the mistakes you made, wouldn’t you. If you could teach that one person you are not alone, or that life will get better. You just must keep hanging on and know, never give up, it will get better.
Two, if we gather together, as everyone on this site has, couldn’t we help and educate others but in a broader spectrum? The answer to this is simple, YES!! Couldn’t we raise awareness and funds for the charitable organizations. YES!!
Three, is because of the stigma we deal with in the motorcycle community, along with my brother’s and sister’s. Just because you choose two wheels instead of four, no matter whether you have a patch on your back or not, and who we do or do not associate with should, NEVER be judged. Our community will always be one of the first to help other’s and support good causes, and we are all real, everyday people. Ask yourself this, look around, look to the media, do the math,. Is it always the ones on two wheels committing the crimes, or driving like a maniac? I bet if you do your research, the percentile in badness increases for the opposition!!
So to wrap this up, this is my very first blog ever. My shrink said it was a good idea, I may like it. I do. I can write, and just be me. Remember how important that is, always. As for myself and for everyone else who contributes to the writing of this site, we all write as if we were speaking right in front of you, and each one is talented in there own style. It’s kind of why their picture isn’t on the main page. I want you to open their pages. I want you to discover their style, because of how they write. They are opening a part of them to the audience that is the real them, not the picture on the main screen, and we all want the same things, to help if not one person in our lives but many, be ourselves, and teach others life is good.
Inspire people….Live for today, not for yesterday or tomorrow…….and until my next blog….

First let me introduce myself, my name is Skully, the Founder of Dollz by Dezign. I am a woman of many hats for many reasons, but I do not believe in labeling ourselves to define who we really are. Each hat I wear is there because one of my biggest belief’s is that by leading by example, I can show other women that anything is possible in life if you try, even when life gets scary and you think you have no other options left. Many of us experience or live with road blocks that make us feel that we’re not meant for anything greater. That we should just settle. That were never good enough. But the reality is, we as individuals allow these things to hold us back. I’ve learned over time, and that I am still learning, is that what I thought defined me, what I believed held me back from seeing my true authentic self, was never anyone else’s fault but my own. It is true that the shitty things that happen in your life make the work that much harder, but it is only you who is in charge of how your story plays out. It’s up to you to rewrite it, no matter how many changes need to be made, to take your power back.
I stopped blaming my past, as blame will get you nowhere. Instilling that drama in your life is a waste of an emotion and space, so why not learn from it and create a better future for yourself. Learn from your mistakes. Leave the garbage at the curb. Own your shit. Forgive yourself and realize that sometimes you just need to take a step back in order to move forward. No one is perfect. Just know that with each baby step your take, and with each hurdle you overcome, and with each accomplishment you achieve, life will be that much easier, living each day knowing that you at least tried.
Why am I telling you all these things? Well because this is what makes up the whole purpose and is the entirety of Dollz By Dezign being in existence. It’s the “you go girl”, in your face, no sugar coated support network of women. It’s purpose is to either give you a pat on the back, or an abrupt nudge to bring you back to senses. We’re here to help you realize you deserve better. It’s the help and support of so many other women out there like myself to give you that extra push to take that power back, because trust me it’s there, and always has been.
Dollz by Dezign was a vision of mine which I created a few years back. The basis still remains the same, but I needed to rewrite my own story to move forward. Change is scary, but brilliant all the same. It’s when you realize that to move forward you also need to change the things that are important to you. So it is with excitement that I am introducing the newly revamped Dollz By Dezign. With restructuring, a brand new look, out of the box, no filter, more in your face blogs such as Girl With No Name, Real Men Don’t Abuse Women, So Tell Me What You Really Think and The Skully Files, and newly created education and mentorship programs such as The Believe Foundation, The Geriatric Foundation and Crochet For A Cause, and so many other pretty kickass things for women to show up, be seen and take part in, and the oldie but the goodie like The Doll Challenge, the vision is still the same, that if helping not only one woman, and the possibility of many more as well, realize their full potential, she has a choice of how her life will play out, and will then be the best version of her true authentic self that she has always truly deserved.
Let’s all work together to redezign the world we live in, contributing to everyone around us.
Much love,
Skully
