What Have We Been Up To?

Hiya,

I am on MySpace (and that means actively working on putting items up there and sharing some thoughts. I am going to try and streamline all my blogs to this site. But you may have to go back and forth between the two. So, to get started - I officially completed my season with the Metro Stars as a cheerleader (although they are now Red Bull NY). That answers that lingering question that I was sent. In addition, I took up a position as a Visual Merchandising Manager at Abercrombie & Fitch on 5th Ave since the last time that I posted. It's a lot of fun and I have learned a lot since I have been there.

Also I started focusing a lot on Kitten Couture which will have a fashion show during Fashion Week and I have started preparing the third season of Kitten Lounge. This season it's all my faves - Electonica and Jazz music with musings about fashion! So I am always looking for submissions and I have plans to podcast this Internet show as well.

I am trying to think of the appropriate direction for this blog. I want to talk about the day to day of fashion and also how I am taking everything else. I think that the most important thing that people like to know is how do you go about doing what you do, what resources did you utilize and how do you feel. There are a lot of books on how to do something in theory but anyone starting a new venture knows that there is a huge gap between how we would like to start out and how we actually do!

I'm in a period of organizing and getting siked about everything that I am working on so I will let you know! Right now I am organizing the Fashion Show which is slated for Fashion Week this Sept on the 19th. I am in the process of getting sponsors. It's interesting, you know that you need to get money to put an event on and you also want product for goodie bags so your guests have something to take with them, but finding what about your event makes it lucrative to a company is always interesting. So, after creating a press release and my sponsor request - I will have these distributed via mail (most people don't want requests sent via email).

Who did I ask? Well, I took products and companies that I enjoy using and that I believe would be interested in my business. Seeing that I operate within resort wear - I like to pick beauty products, healthy items, those within the travel industry and luxury products. I believe that the same people that love these products would love mine and that these companies can present themselves in front of the same demographic while obtaining fringe markets that they may not have been able to reach. We'll see how it goes! You can also see my progress at http://www.sikara.com/shows.html which will be updated as new people sign on.
