One Step is Never Just One

Got the Rehcy Vonne photos from the photographer, Yay!!! Thanks Okeye!! So that's one step completed... oh wait... now I have to find a conversion program for the CR2 format that the photos came in!! Then convert the photos, edit the photos, load the photos...hmm, it's always more than just one simple step. I'll get photos up for you guys as soon as I get my butt to work on it!

As for the confirming a salon to do the hair & make-up for the SBDC show, still working on that. Have one interested, but the boss lady is out of town until Tuesday. Let you know how it goes. Keep your fingers crossed, hey, maybe even your toes too! I need all the luck I can get!!! :-P

**Smooth & Simple is Key**


Hey Hey Peoples!!!

How's everyone doing?!

I had a meeting with the SBDC about the Women in Business Conference and showing Rehcy Vonne there. Jeremy, designer of Avid Ymer and a Creative Ambitions producer, was there also. (I had to utilize his fashion show production knowledge. Thanks Jeremy!) It has been decided, I will be their entertainment for the conference.

I want this show to go on as smoothly and as simply as possible. It will basically be a repeat of the last show just without an actual runway. The models will be walking through tables set up for dinner. However, a few changes will be made to the garment line up, but not many. Hopefully I can get the same girls from the last show to model again, that way there is no training needed.

Thanks again to the Small Business Development Center of West Florida for giving me this opportunity.

Now I have to find a team to do hair and make-up...

Daily Concern: Editing the collection for the SBDC show.

The Life of an Up-&-Coming Designer

Hey Everybody! Hope you are all doing fantastically!!!

The opportunity spoken about in my last post came from the Small Business Development Center of my area. As you know, I have previously worked with them and attended a seminar hosted by the center. The center is hosting a Women in Business conference and would like me to be the designer to show my collection at the event!! This will be a great way to market Rehcy Vonne to local business owners and will also provide an amazing avenue for Creative Ambitions to network with potential sponsors for next year's show. Thank you so much K. for thinking of me!!!

However, as of yet, I have not 100% decided to sign on to do the show. I have a telephone appointment this afternoon to discuss the details. My drawbacks would mostly be in the financial arena, does the SBDC pay for the equipment, will I be expected to rent the platform, will I have to pay the vendor fees etc. Money is tight, tight!! One can not survive on a newborn clothing line alone! That baby takes care, and comfort, and never never stops crying for more!!! lol So the hunt for some supplemental income is on!!!

Daily Concern: I need to start going to bed earlier, and get my sleeping schedule back on track. Too many daylight hours waisted sleeping!
