Hot Nights and L.A.!

I participated in First Fridays last week and it was HOT! I didn't realize that many of the galleries that open up for the evening do not have air conditioning! The temperature was in the mid-nineties, which made for a long evening and lots of bottled water! Despite the heat, the turnout was incredible. Here is a somewhat posed shot of me at my table with local photographer Gene Starr.

While I was in downtown Kansas City, some of my inventory was in Los Angeles, enjoying some West Coast publicity! I recently had the pleasure of meeting local singer Sarah McMullen, who has graciously allowed me to accessorize her for a few events in Los Angeles. I will be designing accessories for Sarah to wear to the L.A. Music Awards in November, which is going to be so exciting! Sarah has been nominated for best pop artist of the year!

Here is Sarah wearing a few pieces from various collections at the NextAid Red Carpet Event held in Los Angeles last weekend. Isn't she cute? Check out Sarah's music here!

Press Kit - Finally!

When starting a new business such as mine, or any other, really, it is important to create a press kit to "spread the word" to media outlets that might just give your business publicity through featuring it on their website or in their publication. I had never heard of press kits before becoming involved in this new venture. So, I did research for about a month, looked at many of them online and read through articles giving tips and tricks. Finally, after making the final polishing touches, I sent it out to several places last week, which is exhilarating and terrifying at the same time :)
