***Finished and Done***

Hey Everybody!!

The Creative Ambitions Night of Fashion was a great success! Show went on without any huge mess ups. I have posted a Flickr photo-stream on the side bar. Check it out! More pictures to come soon.

Several people and stores are interested in buying so yay, yay, yay!!! I'll keep you guys updated on everything!

As all fashion shows go, there were a few mistakes. Wardrobe malfunctions, last minute changes, the wrong lights being turned on in the middle of Janie G Couture, and yours truly tripping as I walked up on the stage! lol Of course! The biggest mistake happened when we forgot to thank Avant Garde Salon on stage during the show. So I'm saying my thank yous right now... Thank you Avant Garde Salon for all your work in making the show and making my models look amazing!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Thanks to Tim Smith for thinking of me in the first place and asking me to be in the show.

Thanks to my friend Steve Burrows for creating the backdrop for the show, and Artesano for displaying art at the reception.

Thanks to all my models for doing such a great job! Especially thanks to one of my best friends and model, Ashley. I love you, girl!

Thanks to Caroline Smith, the Janie G Couture designer, for switching a model with me at the last minute.

Thanks to the North West Florida Ballet for doing such an amazing dance and intro to Rehcy Vonne.

Thanks to my family for all their help and support. Thanks Dad and especially Mom. Thanks to my youngest bro, Javan, for filming the photo-shoot, backstage, and the show itself. Thanks to my sister, Aurora, for being a great assistant. Also thanks to my two cousins, Cassie & Caleb, for assisting at the show and doing hair and make-up at the photo-shoot. And thanks to my Aunt Monique for my lovely card and gift.

And a very special thanks to Ramal Productions' Jeremy Pinne & Okeye Mitchell all their support and letting me be a designer in the Creative Ambitions Night of Fashion!!! You two are amazing!!!! Thank you, thank you!!!!

Daily Concern: What to do for next year?

So when I started this blog, I was doing it as an informative step by step on starting a clothing/accessories line. Then the Creative Ambitions Night of Fashion was thrown at me, and I am attempting to seize the opportunity...

First I had planned on starting an accessory line and later a clothing line, but with the show, I am starting both a clothing line and an accessory line at once. My main focus right now is still on creating and making my accessory line successful. However, a lot has changed because of the show. The order of steps I had originally planned have been thrown all out of whack, but I guess that is how the industry, and life for that matter, goes. It has been a huge amount of work, I mean, I knew it was going to be, but DANG!! It has taken over every aspect of my life; I did expect it to do this, but I did believe that I would at least have time to breathe. HaHaHaaaaaa, I was wrong!

The Creative Ambitions show is in 35 days, and I wish I had at least 75 days! I still have so much to do!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!
