Update: February 24, 2008
It has been awhile since my last post. I have been traveling all month, and I am glad to finally have a few moments to reflect on all of the chaos.
I work for Red Scooter and we are coming up on our Fall/Winter 2008 season. Which means pressure, stress, and sleepless nights. Not only did our sample blanks (which we designed and had manufactured by a private company) come in two weeks late, but we were literally printing our line sheet as we were walking out the door. We decided to go to United Trade Show which is a smaller trade show for more underground and artistic lines. Cool factor: It's in Vegas durning the same time as Magic, Pool and Project. Anyone that is more then a consumer in fashion, knows that these are where trends are created and style is set.
United actually got set up in some really great accounts in the US, Japan, Canada, Germany and Korea, as well as meeting some really cool people. One my favorite new brands is Natures Mistake. Demetrius is an amazing artist and has great concepts that translate onto his garments. My favorite being a little cartoon creature called Boogie. If he was real, I would probably try to get in his crazy bear jumpsuit. I kind of wish I had some crazy party stories, the truth is... I don't. After being at the convention for 10 hours, I headed straight back to my hotel room, drowned myself in enough meds to kill Elvis, and crashed. I had the flu and bronchitis. Fun. I missed out on the shiny lights, cheap T&A, and losing all of my money.
On another note, since there is a lot of political happenings, I spent the afternoon in my office boredom looking for my favorite thing about election time. Funny political humor created by jibjab. I didn't really find anything amusing, so I created this to remind my room mates that I still love them and forwarded it to all of them. It kind of made my day, and any one else's face I slapped to the breakin' figures. Don't be embarrassed, it's the only way you are ever going to be good at dancing.
