Technical Difficulties

2006-07-26T11:23:00.000-07:00

We are sorry to inform you that Stacy has melted away and is unable to update her blog at this time.
Check back soon when the weather cools a bit and she solidifies.

Cuz, it's yo birthday!

2006-07-18T00:04:00.000-07:00

So two of my little cousins just turned 1 over the weekend.
They are the new gems of the family - absolutely adored and stealing all my thunder. I am so yesterdays news.
So a huge family rager was thrown for them on Sunday. This included a Jumpy Castle for god knows how many kids i didn't even know were in my family, more than half i'd never met, much less seen. Of course someone HAD to ask my mom if she had any grandchildren at the party - and with her sad little face, she looks over at me and say "no". I just smiled and cheered my beer their direction.

Anyway - this is my little cuz Miles. To me he looks like Michael Douglas in Wall Street and he has the smallest legs i've ever seen on a kid. No babyfat - what?

And here's Miss Maddy Rue. She's kinda the superstar of the family because there hasn't been a girl baby in a long long time and she has 4 crazy aunties that want to constantly dress her up as a princess, hence her birthday hat.

Thank god someone managed to find lil' Miles a crown.

My folks.

I gave Maddy Rue some of my beer. She liked it way too much, therefore proving she really is a part of our family.

Sunday was also the final day of filming for the Bad Date zombie movie. I got there too late to shoot any scenes, but just in time to help these two hotties load up their car.

And last but not least, i just want to give a shout out to my homegirl Deirdre who, on Saturday, graduated from USF Grad School. She now has a master, which in my book makes her a Master - so bow down!!!!!

Video Shoot Part 2

2006-07-13T19:02:00.000-07:00

The second and last shoot for our little video took place last Saturday (7/8).
Despite my nerves making me a little crazy and Rock n Shop being that same evening all went well and i can't wait to see the end result.
Big thanks to Sadie, Pie, Karen, Sarita, Nicole, Dustin, Tracy, Gina, Alison, and Erika for being such good sports and making this process so fun.

Video Killed the Radio Star

2006-07-05T22:00:00.000-07:00

the newest of new news is...
She-bible is making a video!!!!
we would have never even thought to do something like this, but our wonderful friend Sadie brought the idea to us and how could we resist.
we did two days of shooting and the total length will be about 2 minutes and showing our Fall 2006 line. so far this process has been so exciting and we have a grip of people to thank - most importantly Miss Sadie herself.
of course we also have to give big props to Sarita for going along for the ride and looking so beautiful.
i don't want to say to much about it, so i'll just share with you some photos from our first day of shooting:

photos from the second shoot coming soon.

Raise the Roof

2006-06-30T21:00:00.000-07:00

Yay to Summer.
Yay to San Francisco.
Yay to rooftops, friends, beer, Smirnoff Ice, and a special local holiday we call
Gay Pride.

the best part of this whole rooftop shindig is that i thought we would be able to celebrate and watch the Pride Parade. little did i know, it didn't go by Guerrerro and Market. it doesn't got to the Castro at all. it is downtown for some reason, leaving me and all my excitement for nudity, costumes, techno, feather boas, free love, and chaps to have to wait for the Folsom St. Fair.
shit, did i miss that too???

jeremey very disappointed.

the closest thing we got to Gay Fun was this truck that had techno, bubbles, and a couple of pairs of lamé hot shorts circling the block four times. everytime i heard them come by i thought the parade was on it's way. but no, just the truck.

maegan disappointed.

all in all, a good time was had.

Time to Ketchup

2006-06-09T18:02:00.000-07:00

so things have been going well over here at She-bible headquarters. we've got new stores, some new press (WWD and Apparel News), and are producing Fall 2006 while starting to wrap our heads around Spring 2007. things are moving along!!!

Like all good girls filled with pure evil and black hearts, i celebrated 6.06.06 with the Omen and a night of black metal. Thank you Lethal Ethan for the slaying my soul with your musical swords of blood.

went to see Colossal Yes at the MakeOut Room on wednesday night. if you haven't seen sir utrillo and friends, please please do. you can check out his myspace page here: http://www.myspace.com/colossalyesrock

and from the weekend of Joe the Toe, here are some photos of the wedding before my camera died.

Joe the Toe and the Big Blue Correctional Shoe

2006-06-06T00:02:00.000-07:00

Avoid hot tubbing late night with these clowns. Especially the night before a fancy wedding.

There is a reason there is no glass allowed near the pool and there is a reason the pool closes at 10.

My pretty cut goes in far between the toes and may have cut a mighty little tendon. i'll find out next week if i still can't bend joe the toe. in the meantime, the blue shoe will complete my outfits.

A few wedding photos to follow. my camera ran outta batteries at the beginning, but i did capture the beautiful bride and knockout bridesmaids. Holy Smokes.

Palm Spring Fling - Part 2

2006-05-23T23:01:00.000-07:00

The Lord came for a visit and sent sunbeams of blessed Jesus love over the house we rented.

It seemed to shine extra bright on all of the hot models.

This model is Alicia Hall, the million dollar winner of the Sports Illustrated Model Search reality TV show. It's the one model show i didn't watch and am now dying to see. Apparently she is the girl all of the other contenstants hated. Can we say Moana from the bachelor anyone??? There may be a better photo on my last blog entry.

Here Karen gets busted drinking an Old Smashin', reading a trashy mag, and wearing a felony on her lips while on the job.
An Old Smashin' is a fresh take on an Old Fashioned and it is tasty. I think we'll be enjoying some at the next Lady Date.

Every morning a new batch of sun tea was made.

And every night the grill was filled with fun.

This is Eden. Not only an awesome photographer, but an excellent cook and snack master. Everytime i turned around, she had whipped up some crazy delicous dip. Between her and karen, eating was excellent.

Pool side lounging after a hard days work.

Night swimming deserves a quit night.

On our last night in Palm Springs we went for drinks and a walk through the gardens at the fancy schmancy Parker Hotel. This place was one of the most amazing hotels i've been to. I took a lot of pictures of it, but none really could show how amazing it was. check out the website, they probably have good photos there. http://www.theparkerpalmsprings.com

Next off to Palm Desert for a bachelorette party white trash style. yeee haw.

Palm Spring Fling - Part 1

2006-05-16T09:01:00.000-07:00

so i am in the land of the old, rich, and sweaty. it's beautiful here and i can't believe that with this heat, i am not complaining (that much). the lows here are 97 and the highs a whopping 107 degrees. piling on my new Lancome 50 sunblock to fight those signs of aging.
i am here assisting my friend karen, who is styling a photoshoot for a knitting book specializing in lingerie.
i don't have too much time to write but here are a few pics. more to follow.

on a totally seperate note: Charlie Sheen has come out with a line of clothing for little girls called Sheen Kidz. this is to compete with his ex-wife, Denise Richards line of kids clothes called Kidtoure. i'm sorry, but i think this is really weird.
once again, thank you US Weekly for enriching my life with such fascinating news.

oh mercy mercy me

2006-05-08T23:30:00.000-07:00

There have been lots of things going on but i haven't been in the mood to type anything out.
I survived and celebrated turning 30 and i am officially happy to have passed that marker. Everyone I know over thirty welcomed me to "the club" and made sure to tell me it wasn't so bad. I was never afraid in the first place, and now I'm stoked to be a new member. Twenties schmenties. I'm still creating an online photo album from my party so you guys can peep yourselves on the dance floor. And i apologize to anyone who was late for work, showed up smelling of pinata booze, or hurt as much as i did the next day.
In other news, i had to ride in the front of a cop car last wednesday night to identify a man i saw break into a mini-van. I actually walked by him as he rummaged through the car window while standing on a pool of broken glass. I felt terrible when the fuzz rolled me by the corner of 16th and valencia to give a positive identification. he looked so sad and desperate against the cop car. i'm sure i did the right thing but it sucked nonetheless.

here's a little something i hope puts a smile on your face.

April 23-26
___________

deirdre and i took a little work vacation down in LA for a few days. we went to check out a textile show which we thought would take three days, but really only took monday afternoon.

that left us with some serious chill time in our fancy Roosevelt Hotel room that included fluffy bath robes and an even fluffier feather bed.

the view from our room

and although it was a bit overcast

the pool is constantly heated to a perfect 85 degrees

let's swim!!!

this is a table top that my good friend adele painted at the Cha Cha bar. it was awesome to see this because it was in a style i had never seen her paint in. she is quite a talented lady who constantly amazes me with the things she can create. unfotunately the flash of my camera took some of the details out of this.
http://www.adelemildred.com

another talented lady friend, heather, painted this life size wood cutout of willie nelson at the Cha Cha bar. so rad.

i am still racking my brain trying to figure out why i would ever, ever order a chili covered baked potatoe smothered in cheese and sour cream for breakfast.

someone was not impressed

a quick stroll on the ol' Hollywood Blvd introduced me to the these hot fellas.

and to this rockin' star

on our way back to SF, deirdre and i treated ourselves to a pink filled birthday dinner at the Madonna Inn .

a magical rainbow

celebrity sighting:
sat 4 tables away from Nikky Hilton at dinner our second night in town. she played on her blinged out sidekick while blinding everyone with the ice on her ears.

Shuffle Your Feet and Smile

2006-04-30T22:28:00.000-07:00

This whole blog thing is not easy. Time flys and it's hard to keep it updated. The last week was busy busy with a trip to LA and my 30th B-day Party. Bear with me while i break my days into a few posts.
----
Saturday, April 22nd

the awesome ladies of The Husbands play some fine fine tunes at the Casanova.

Sexy Sadie

and a couple of pretty pirates

i should have gone to sleep nice and early to prepare myself for the long drive to LA in the morning. but instead, some peeps came over for a late night dance party. ouch.

Someone was very serious about dancing and showed off some serious Solid Gold moves.

peace out

Donkey Party

2006-04-22T20:27:00.000-07:00

ummm...yeah.

ceiling of the MakeOut Room is so pretty. more places should decorate so nice.

Nathan Moomaw and Miwa on stage making very pretty music.

Lethal Ethan with some Lethal Weapons.

He came over and cooked Tracy, Karen, and I and excellent dinner of side dishes - mac n cheese and creamed spinach.

Karen giving our magnum bottle of wine some love.

our entire evening was all about the sweet sweet magnum.

Deirdre and I are heading to LA tomorrow.
we're checking out the textile show in hopes of finding rad fabrics and good vendors. wish us luck.
since it's our birthdays, we are treating ourselves to a nice hotel stay. we're checking in to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel - a place of many celebrity cat fights around the pool that include names such as Paris, Nicole, Lindsay, etc. i am crossing my fingers for some US Weekly drama while we're there. that oughtta spice this blog up a bit.

Oh and don't forget - next thursday's my birthday party at the KnockOut. i got an awesome pinata today for the festivities.
i am so ready to get this whole turning 30 thing over with.

Sunday Easter Sunday

2006-04-18T21:45:00.000-07:00

sorry for the lack of updates. that damn stomach flu really kept me down for days so not much really happened except my nights at Club Pillow.
i did sneak out for a bit on friday night after watching 2 depressing ass episodes of 6 Feet Under. after prying my wilted body off the couch and cleaning off my mascara smeared face, i headed down to the elbo room for Pizzapalooza. all the lads from Arinells Pizza on Valencia had a showcase of their bands such as The Cuts, Genghis Kahn, and Parchman Farm. good show, good time.
spent saturday morning watching the last 2 episodes of the last season of Six Feet Under. again, got all sad pants and had to leave the house. my lady tracy and i spent the day walking the mission, found ourselves giddily approaching St Francis Fountain shop and headed in for some Banana Split love. stepped on over to deirdre's for a quick game of scrabble, and then headed to blockbuster to close the night with a flick. it was so nice to take advantage of the city blocks without the rain.

my folks came to town for Easter. it's my mom's favorite holiday.
she makes me a basket every year.

she also dyes eggs, prices each one, and then makes me hunt for them. yeah, it's embarrasing, but it's also really funny when you do that, and then get a birthday cake for your 30th birthday 5 minutes later.

and no, it's not my birthday yet. it's on the 26th. but my cousin wanted to give me a gift and cake since she won't be around for my actual birthday.

there was also this little pup at our easter celebration.
here i nerd out with a few cute dog pictures.

he can even dance in a trench coat.

and here is my new little cousin MaddyRu (short for Madeline Ruby). it's exciting to have a new baby in the family. holidays seem to have so much more purpose somehow.

one day Maddy will take over the egg hunt for me.
i'm sure i'll be jealous.

Flu Season is the Reason

2006-04-12T21:49:00.000-07:00

Had a super star guest visitor yesterday. Forrest was glued to this Hamburger Eyes photo book. Tried to give him other books to look at, but none seemed to keep his attention quite like this one. Pretty good taste for a kid almost 3.

Later on that evening, the ladies of Craft Nation came by for an official Rock n Shop meeting. Stay tuned for details because it's gonna be goodie. I can tell you that it's July 8th at 111 Minna. woot woot!

And lucky me, my evening really never came to an end. I got to spend the next 8 hours with stomach cramps, freezing, shitting and barfing my brains out (sometimes at the same time), sweating, and then repeat. Good times! Thank god for Deirdre, who today brought me 3 disks of Six Feet Under, soup, and the best company. Thanks lady, lots of love to you!

alright
passing out now

sure, why not.

And the rain took a break

2006-04-08T22:27:00.000-07:00

what a treat it was to have a few dry days.

there is something about watching americas next top model, eating tater tots, hostess cupcakes, and drinking PBR that just feels so right.

the winner of americas next top model. so pretty i just want to eat her eyes out.

shephard fairy hit up our alleyway when he was in town for his show. it didn't last up there more than 2 days.

lovely lady liz mcgrath was in town for an art opening and book signing. my photos do no justice to what she showed, as these pieces are insane up close.
if you haven't seen what this lady creates, check it out here http://www.elizabethmcgrath.com

If you click on this picture it will enlarge and you will clearly see that it says OUT OF ORDER.

The meter maids are out and they are pissed. You can now get tickets on your precious automobile when parked in a space with a broken meter. I put deirdre's gem in a spot in front of my house and put $.60 in the ol' meter. After the silver went down, the meter flashed that it was Outta Order and only accepted payment by cards. hmmmm... what cards. Anyway, i figure the car is safe since the bitch is broken, but OH HELL NO! we get back to the car with a wolf ticket on the windshield.
What the hell?

Ghost Riding the Train

2006-03-27T22:48:00.000-08:00

Took the train to visit the folks over the weekend. Moms turned 62, which reminded pops and i that we are turning 70 and 30. i think we are all ready to embrace it as a family - this whole aging thing.

now please sit back, relax, and hop on board what Amtrak and i like to call - THE CAPITOL CORRIDOR...

A happy and sad day has come....Matt Hart has left the building. He's gone to North Carolina to be with his 2 beautiful ladies and make a new home. Congratulations to you Matt, not only for your cosmic escape but for the bright future Chapel Hill has waiting for you.

this is the dewd. he's a rad artist and sweet fella.

Spring Flingin' It

2006-03-23T01:02:00.000-08:00

So we shot our Spring 2006 line on Saturday. (That means it's gonna be on the website real soon!)
Sarita was a real trooper, or better yet SUPA model. She came over thinking only some pieces we being shot, but when she got here we ambushed her with the entire line to shoot in a few hours. As always, thanks lady friend.

Also, a big thank you to Deirdre for lending her lovely home and Mother Nature for not raining on our parade.

sundae fun on a friday night

2006-03-21T00:26:00.000-08:00

gotta love st. pattys day when you aren't looking to celebrate it.

randomly ran into nicole with some of her lady friends.

went to Mass

amedee and joe debate the late night menu at It's Tops

joes sundae

my brain for ordering that food

sad i didn't get a sundae

broken blog, She-bible sale, nighty night

2006-03-20T01:01:00.000-08:00

well my blog hasn't been letting me update it for a little while. kind of annoying but it's working again.
too bad i'm too exhausted to really say anything.

OH! She-bible is having a big sale on our website to make room for new Spring items. SPREAD THE WORD!!!!
i also put up a little slideshow for a sneak preview of the Spring fun to come. click on the picture of the pretty lady on our front page to see.....
http://www.she-bible.com

just watched 40 Year Old Virgin. i highly recommend it.

okay - goodnight.

rain rain go away

2006-03-17T00:30:00.000-08:00

i am so sick of this schizophrenic weather. rain hail sun lightning sun rain hail SNOW in marin.
i look at my weather widget every morning and night, but it can't predict this shit. so it's says rain everyday, even though it may be lovely out all day and at 8 pm it goes right into hail. all i want is a little consistency. come on.

the church across the street. i love it

so yesterday, deirdre and i were graced with the presence of a photographer for the Oakland Tribune. they are doing a story on 5 clothing companys in SF and their Spring wares. we tried to put on our best supa model attitude but just kept laughing. deirdre and i have never taken a good photo together. we are jinxed. one of us will look good and the other has their eyes half shut in mid smile. the photographer made us take some photos solo as if we were working.

Lady Date has now moved on to Americas Next Top Model. to celebrate we had margaritas and pina coladas and tamale pie.

here Ryan preps his salsa. we had about 5 different kinds, but his was the best. secret ingredient? nectarines.

drink maker = trouble maker

after ending the evening am with Pina Ritas at 12:30am and some real obnoxious behaviour, it sad to say those drinks have now been banned from future Lady Dates. :(
it really is for the best though.

Nuckin' Futs

2006-03-13T00:02:00.000-08:00

i remember when i lived in San Diego near the beach, tourists actually wore awesome extra large shirts with phrases such as "I went to Mission Beach and got nuckin' futs." This of course came with a cartoon of a really drunk man (stars around the head) holding a liquor bottle, cross eyed, wearing bermuda shorts and a visor. I do believe this quite possibly could've been the inspiration for She-bible. yeah, thinking back, i'm pretty sure it was.
so the last few days flew by me once again. one day i will be able to make time stand still, but until then, i'm shit outta luck.

wednesday night's reaction to Santino LOSING!!!!!!!!!!

someone won a little loot by voting for Chloe. whatever trader!

a pretty thing trying to give an evil eye but just looking pretty. nice try though.

this weekend i saw 2 pets:
Luna - she's a petite doberman. she's real good lookin' but knows it and is a total flirt with the fellas. she enjoys dog bones, catching mice, and long walks on the beach. candlelit dinners not necessary.

oh Boo Boo, where do i begin. we all thought you were a fella until you layed an egg (after that i started calling her Boo Bee). this little fancy pants know a lot o' tricks. she can roll over, play fetch, dance, and well, there's more but i forget. Boo Boo enjoys apple slices, neck rubs, and long walks on a perch.

Tria is Boo Boo's mom. she is also She-bible's coveted pattern maker. she is amazingly talented and patient. we love her.

my saturday excitment included TARGET and Home Depot. those two stores own me. i bow down to their greatness. i treated myself to a few gifts, the highlight being a new toilet seat. (are you sad yet that you waste your time reading this?)

my new home depot plant ruling the top of my fridge and helping to create an 'ambiance'

you know you are truly loved when someone (Lindsay) drops off a plate of papusas for you at 11:30am on Sunday knowing you are going to wake up hungry. yes, i have many wives, but i gots me a couple o' mommy's too! thank you again for the morning treat. i love you!

spent some quality time with my lady friend Amedee and sold clothes at Wasteland. making money felt good so we treated ourselves to some Papalotes. got back home ready to paint an ugly red wall and door white. it's been driving me mad and i finally dug into it. while painting, my Man Dates dropped by to play records. nerds

then some hoochies came over to watch movies but instead took advantage of my internet.
could it be i'm happy the weekend is over. time to hit the work wheel and push things into motion.

New Obsession

2006-03-10T01:01:00.000-08:00

so i finally picked up the 9 rolls of film from Wolf Camera today. It was so fun opening the envelopes up and passing the photos around causing quite a bit of laughter and some "oh god, what the hell was i thinking". i miss that ritual of paper photos, but as you can see it does nothing for the blog. scanning sucks. i will slowly but surely post some of these gems, but in the meantime, listen to my new obsession. i can't stop playing it, so i thought i would curse you. thanks ryan.

Ready 2 Wear - Felix da Housecat

oh, and i'd also like to take this opportunity to give a shout out to the speed freaks next door who seem to wake up right about this time every night. hammering on a shelving unit in a doorway outside at 3 am is normal right? i swear, it can be so quiet here, but once the hour turns past 1 am, all hell breaks loose. wrenches drop (repeatedly), people are always locked out and trying to get in, and it's also the perfect time to show off your new motorcycle in the alley. rev that thing up man. we ARE all interested. oh, and while you're at it, don't forget to yell to your lady friend "Shut the fuck up" and "Did you just turn off the fucking water?"

you opened your homes and made my day

2006-03-07T11:34:00.000-08:00

so saturday ended up being such a treat. although i woke up to not feeling so well, my frown turned upside down when i remebered that Lady Liz Baca was opening her house up to shop. now for the few of you that don't know - Liz is a vintage hustla, trend-setta, pro thrift store shoppa, garage sale hussy - basically the girly with the goods. i scored me some sweet sweet dresses and even a foxy faux fur coat.
liz hard at work tallying my total. scaaary!

a little shoe biz

marie - lookin' fine all the time

karen holding up my free gift with purchase.
so watch out Valencia Muscle. Watch the fuck out because i'm coming and i'm wearing a crop top.

exactly how i was feeling BEFORE shopping.

Later that evening i got to go to dinner at my wife Deirdre's new pad. her main man, michael, cooked up a delicious din din.
michael - hamming it up and looking extra japanese

rico suavé showed up

oh, and so did the internet.

dessert

thanks friends for the lovely day!

Saturdays are for suckas like me

2006-03-04T14:59:00.000-08:00

another morning of recovery. i give thanks to my wives who came over, made me coffee, and made me laugh. i do know the best ladies in this fine city.

pre-digital camera. some of these are so old, i have no idea what they are from. there will be a little drum roll in my head as i open the envelope of photos. neat.

nicole = guarnteed good times. even if your at the Booty Bar.

did you know SF had a gang sign??

Genghis Khan played a free show at the Arrow bar last night. Serious caveman rock. If you haven't seen them yet, get to it.

Boner Spoon

2006-03-02T00:00:00.000-08:00

Just got home from Lady Date a bit ago and am so sleepy.
Lady Date is a treasured weekly event (although we have missed the last few due to tradeshow madness) in which some ladies and occasionally our man friend, Ryan, get together, drink wine, eat good food, and watch the wonderful Project Runway.
Go Santino!!!!!

Tonight we all learned a new term from Lady Jessica. Boner Spoon.
All the ladies i know have been Boner Spooned.
Have you been Boner Spooned lately?

If you got some phrases I need to be bustin', throw em in the comments and let's get ourselves a new vocab.

Back from the land of Gold Lame & Celine Dion

2006-02-24T19:42:00.000-08:00

and couldn't be happier.
could it be i've finally outgrown the industry parties that go along with tradeshows. nothing sounded better than room service and movies. speaking of, do NOT see "The History of Violence" - it's pretty terrible.

She-bible had a successful show. we got some more store accounts, one in particular we are really happy about. i don't want to get too excited and jinx it so i'm shutting up. i took a few photos in vegas but the digi cam is out o' batteries and i can't download them.

i know my blog has gotten pretty boring. i swear i will spice things up soon, when i am not so sleepy and can think a little more clear.

So crazy right now

2006-02-19T01:12:00.000-08:00

Things are moving so fast. I've been thinking about how much great stuff there is going on that should be documented in this blog, but i can't wrap my head around it all. I'll be sure to document all of the craziness of the tradeshow in Las Vegas.
In the meantime, here are a few random pictures from the last couple days.

My big ass pot o' dye. I am officially a pro now. Classes will be starting soon.

Thanks Anthony for making She-bible such a kick ass sign. We thought it was all late night drunk talk until we heard that jigsaw in the morning. You rule!

I love working from home

2006-02-16T00:20:00.000-08:00

especially when miniature homies come over to kick it and gossip with you.

I mean, lil' Kev and I were so "whatever Jessica and her new man." and then we were all "What's up with Steve O and Nicole Richie breaking up when we didn't even know they were together." And the news of Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta Jones ROCKING out at a concert of their favorite band, NICKELBACK, drove us both to binge eat on sliced apples. I mean, DAMN!

Isn't It Romantic.....

2006-02-14T19:15:00.000-08:00

Dion O'Banion was the owner of a florist shop in Chicago. After the passing of the National Prohibition Act, he was also one of the main providers of illegal alcohol in Chicago. In 1926, O'Banion was shot dead outside his shop. His gang was convinced that the murder had been ordered by Al Capone, a rival bootlegger. Soon after O'Banion's death, eight cars filled with gangsters raked Capone's headquarters with machine-gun fire. This heralded the start of Chicago's gang wars. Over the next few years over 500 gangsters were killed in the city. The most notorious case was an event that became known as the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

At half-past ten on 14th February, 1929, six members of the Bugs Moran gang were sitting in a garage waiting for a consignment of illegal alcohol. Instead, a Cadillac arrived carrying three men dressed as policemen. They were accompanied by two men in civilian clothes. The policemen entered the building and told the six gangsters and John May, a mechanic working in the garage, to stand in a row against the wall with their hands in the air. This was common procedure during a police raid and the men did as they were told. The two civilians then entered the garage and mowed them down with sub-machine gun fire. Although it was assumed that the murders had been ordered by Al Capone, no one was ever convicted of the crime.

Happy Valentines Day!

and I already forgot about the "blog".
best thing about this so far is that no one except like 2 people
even know it exsists. i'm still too embarrassed to tell the public.

anyway - we are in a mad dash in the final stages of getting a
Fall collection ready for a tradeshow in less than 2 weeks. if you
could see how knee deep in a thousands things we are, you will
either laugh at or cry with us.

i pinch myself sometimes while thinking - "wow, this is my life."
(i say that in a positive way. really.)

so i ask you now - all 2, maybe 3 of you, to wish us luck.
cross your fingers, cross your legs - i don't care, just cross something for us.

so here it goes: Post Numero Uno

I certainly never thought I would do this...
I always made fun of the people that "blogged"
(which was probably the first sign that I actually wanted to do it myself.)

2006 is a year I want to document.
I am turning 30.
I live in a new home.
I live alone for the first time.
I got rid of a hoopty and now drive a moped.

who knows what's in store for this year, but the beginning has already brought so much change.

She-bible just invested in a digital camera and I am hoping that will help with this "blog". I think visuals always add so much. plus I'm not much of a writer so this will most likely be longest one you'll read.

alright, well it's now begun.
knowing me, I'll do this for a week and then forget about it.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
