Hearing all that stuff from Vivian got me all motivated, so I took a trip to the contractor and found something excellent! I’m all on track! There weren’t any mistakes and everything looked super-amazing.
Since that was all good, I figured it was safe to send my samples to Sully in New York. He said he [...]

Okay, so I just met with Vivian and she thinks my Fall/Winter 09 line is going to be the one that puts me on the map. She thinks my theme is “faboo”, whatever that means, and that my designs and preliminary samples are “super-supremo-wicked-awesomeness”.
She told me to have every sample done by February so she [...]

Get Spring/Summmer to Mariette at Bye!
Ship collection to Sully in New York.
Complete Fall/Winter 09 samples.
Organize a lookbook shoot and layout.
Think about where [...]

Oh wow! Cancun was so much fun. I did nothing but lay around the beach all day and get regenerated and inspired for my next collection.
And speaking of my next collection, I’ve got to send samples to that Sully guy I met on the beach. I can’t believe he has a store in New York [...]

Tonight I got to wear my friend Daniela Jaramillo’s absolutely fabulous dress to the most amazing party of the year. Smirnoff took over the entire Windsor Arms Hotel. There were so many people, it was unbelievably cool.
I ran into Vivian, who took me into this secret VIP room, where we drank way, way, way too [...]

Wow! So this twitter thing is really neat. Vivian saw my tweets (hee-hee! That’s so cute! I LOVE it!) and said that she really could help me with press coverage, so I invited her over to see what I’ve been working on all week (when I wasn’t reading magazines. Ha ha!).
She came over and seemed [...]

So I spent all day calling my new favourite magazines and a bunch of other ones, trying to get them interested in my clothes, but nobody wanted to see me. They all say they’re too busy and I was way, way, way too late for Fall/Winter coverage. They all talked to me like I was [...]

This magazine thing is getting a little ridiculous! Okay, totally ridiculous. Today, Sandee brought me ANOTHER new magazine to read and it’s rad! (Dressed to) KILL has all these amazing photos and completely avant-garde designers. I even get to practice my high school French by reading it.  Super-cool. That’s how they say cool in Quebec, [...]

Okay, seriously, there are so many cool magazines around. How could I not have noticed them? Today, I found a copy of Worn Journal and it’s DIY-fantastic. They’ve got an indie-shopping guide and a blog and a facebook group.
Everyone keeps telling me that I should join facebook. Maybe I should.
Crap! I totally forgot that [...]
