Fashion Class Wars

July 25th, 2008 · No Comments

Ooops! I think I made a mistake letting Sandee’s kids into my group. She got kind of mad and stole some of my kids for a lesson on rockstar styling. Why didn’t I think of teaching kids how to style rockstars?

I’ve never been so frustrated with my career. Since it’s spiraling out of my control, this television endeavor has the ingredients to be my worst experience since Fiona. What shall I do about this?

Silkscreen Kids

July 25th, 2008 · No Comments

I was so inspired from Kingi Carpenter’s silkscreen book, I got the camp kids to try it, and boy were they good! Some of Sandee’s campers thought it was so fun that they came over to my group. Heh heh. That’ll teach her to keep a secret from me. Especially one as big as auditioning […]

July 25th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Peach Berserkers!

July 23rd, 2008 · 1 Comment

Not wanting to deal with Sandee’s betrayal, I called in sick on camp counselling today and went to a book launch party at night.
Kingi Carpenter is such an entrepreneurial and design inspiration! She was fired from fourteen “normal” jobs before turning 25 and now owns Peach Berserk, one of the best stores ever! She gives […]

Project Un-Funway

July 22nd, 2008 · 2 Comments

To present my best design personality, I wore some pieces from my debut collection and spiked up my hair!
When I got to the audition, there were tons of other designers, but I was surprised by how unstylish they were. Some even wore jeans! What were they thinking?
And what was I thinking, spiking my hair? The […]

Footage Fiasco

July 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Mimi M., our producer, and I went into the editing suite to review footage for our first show, and I was aghast with what transpired.

Last-Minute Swim

July 21st, 2008 · No Comments

While I was in lip-bernation last week, Mimi M. went to Miami for the swimwear collections. Near the end of the week, my producer worried about her first assignment, so he sent me to check up on her and conduct supplemental interviews. I wasn’t enthusiastic about it because my lips hadn’t reduced and I normally […]
