Versus

Here are some pictures from the last fashion show I was in: Joan Jett vs Jelly Fish. Can you dig it?

All these photos were taken by Tim Jensen (thanks Tim!) Thank you Olivia for being my fashion ambassador, Thank you Daniel and Kwame for being ass-tastic male models. Thanks Lauren, Beth, Alexis, and Kiersten for being lovely models!

fun photos I must share

 This was the last super fun photo shot with Tim Jenson. PS his mom was awesome and brought us snacks.
I love how he and the super sexy models captured my raglan knit pieces. And doesn't Olivia look great in Kombat Casalettos octo-polo? New Age Dave West is looking dapper as usual in pink, with a pink haired Angel sporting a raglan tunic with pockets (I love the stretchy oatmeal eyelet).  Lyda's lookin' sweet and sexy in a sun dress/tunic, and Casaletto himself is working a zipper T with suspenders (what a trend setter).
Tanisha looks just like a pin up girl in this red and black pic nic dress.
And for the last, the designers themselves stacked up, and Dan in his comfort zone, getting beat up by 2 women. Beth does look great delivering pain in a Kombat Casaletto zipper tank.

I'm married to this Game...

and I love my wife. The last month or so I've been thinking about my financial woes and wondering if I should give this little designing dream up. With a little soul searching and a few conversations with family and friends I mustered  the strength I needed to realize that I'm completely in love with what I do. I'm often stressed, exhausted, and really really afraid, but I want to make, change, fix, and talk to people about garments for the rest of my life. I know I'm not saving anyone and I'm certain it's not the true love story we all hear about but it really is mine. So here I continue, for better or for worse.

Bethany Roberts

This is my special bloggy thank you to one of my very closest friends. A woman who bravely dares to understand.

I can ask her at a couple hours notice to MC a fashion show (she shows up happily wearing one of my pieces). She will model for me, it seems, any where and any time (even pregnant on antiquated roller skates) She will drop everything she's doing to walk with me when my hearts been broken, she'll even call to see where my car has been taken the night before her wedding. I don't always understand Beth Roberts but I've known her long enough to know that she is admirably, uniquely, and unapologetically herself. Fortunately for me she's also hot.

Love you, mean it!

Thanks to Rebecca LaGuire and Tim Jensen for the fabulous photos!

The Color of Spring

These are some super sweet photos from Kombats last fashion show held on the first Thursday of March. My goal was to make all the models look like delicious little pieces of candy. This spring I'm gonna relish in color so when you put on one of my dresses you'll be sweet enough for Marie Antoinette to eat!
