Great weekend!

Sometimes I just love this business! You have a good weekend and sales are high and the energy is flowing and that is when you like what you do. Then you go home and have a few too many glasses of wine and collapse into bed. Wait, maybe that is just me! Lol.. The Mix was rocking over the weekend. Lots of people coming in from out of town. I really hope that the stock thing doesn't throw people into a panic. When people are sad and depressed guess what? They shop!

I did a fashion show Saturday nite (if you wanna call it that) and what an eye opener that was! The show was at Canal Restaurant right above the Mix. They have a really cool catwalk down the center of the restaurant and they are really encouraging the shops at the Mix to use it. Anyway, I and the store next door, Judge Me Boutique, both had a show. I was first.. big mistake! She had the opportunity to learn from my errors! First off, the girls (there were 3) were just galloping down the runway.. hello! it is not a race! Plus,it was like they were one big clique.. one right after the other. What I learned is that apparently I have to do major instruction as to how fast they should go, where they should go, how many times up and back down the runway, basically everything. It is like directing a bunch of sheep. Nice sheep but still sheep.. Lucky for me, my amazing designer friend Wendy was there and was able to assist me with the girls and what they should do since she is a former model. Smart AND pretty.. darn! Plus, I need more girls for the modeling- 3 is just not enough. I didn't want to spend a bunch of $ tho on the first rodeo as I want to figure it out and then go from there...

Today I meet with a vendor at 5 for a hoody/sweats (are they even called that anymore?) line.. btw, the last line I blogged about was AMAZING! Lots of cool stuff coming in from them the end of this month and the start of next.. hope I have the $ to pay for it all!
Next: how the line looked ...:)
