Happy New Years!
This year has been a whirlwind. Some good, quite a bit bad, and a lot in between. I am glad to be kicking 2009 to the curb, and welcoming in a fresh decade and New Year. 2010, I hope you are awesome!
That being said, I'd like to thank the below people/things for being part of my life. I am truly grateful to the network of amazing people around me.
Carolyn Hart. My fabulous studio mate in Nashionland. Constant form of comic relief and LBD designer.

Janeane Marie. Through a series of odd events, which turned to good ones, I met Janeane this year. We both work insane hours, and I'm very glad to have her down the hall. Meow.

Sarah Giffrow. Photographer extraordinaire. I'm looking forward to shooting up a storm with her in 2010.

Boni Dutch. Model/make-up artist/crafty maven. Also, her parties have had the best decorations I have EVER seen.

Jennifer Simms. Cracks me up like no one else, and gets more excited at a thrift store than I thought humanly possible. Also, an amazing designer and patternmaker.

Seyta Selter. Most definately someone I do not see enough of, and am constantly amazed at her ability to dress the gents so dapper.

Tracy Anderson. Without her help I would be in chronic pain. Acupuncture and Shiatsu massage. Amazing.

On this last week of the year I am working hard at sampling my 2010 collections. I'm excited to get them shot, and in stores.
2010 will be awesome.

Other stuff......
I like making clothes just fine, but sometimes I get to do fun "other" stuff. Recently my studio mate Carolyn and I made large curtains to help divide up our landlords giant home studio. I think they look pretty cool, and personally enjoy making really ginormous things. Here they are:

This moves me.
My friend Chelsea left the November issue of Glamour in my studio a few weeks ago. I am terrible about reading magazines, and I will let them pile up for months. I remembered seeing this photo online, and when it was orginally published in Glamour.
So, this evening while I was reading the November issue of the magazine, there was this follow up to the original photo in the letter from the editor.
The Woman on Page 194
This moves me. To see this in a magazine. This is a lady how she is. No photoshop. More of us look like this than not.
As a follow up the magazine ran this photo:
Along with this story - These bodies are beautiful.
I really hope that this publications, as well as others, will use a wider variety of models. Putting clothing on a size 0-4 model is easy. Fitting the rest of the world, and making it look good, is the hard part. It's one of my challenges, and it's also something I take pride in doing. I'd love to outfit those 7.
