What a schedule this tour has me on! I was off the plane at 9:15 a.m. yesterday and in a car by 9:30, on my way to a local live television segment that aired at 10:00! Yipes, we were cutting it close. After a few media pit stops, we made time for a few local secondhand clothing stores to stock up on some more tees for the live demos. Thrift store shopping—is this really part of my job?? Sweet! The B&N event last night was a whirlwind of fun—and the event coordinator herself was my lovely model for the day. I refashioned the Outer Lace tank top live for the audience—and people followed along in their seats. And what a turnout! We’re setting records all down the east coast.
And, then, just as quickly as it started, I had to run out at 7:30 to catch a plane to the next city. At 7:37, I was hightailing it out the door—literally running. On my way out, though, I just had to stop at a table where a young lady was still working on her project. The whole evening I had seen her stitching away, off to the side, with her needle and thread…and sure enough, rather than follow along with the Outer Lace project I was demo’d for the rest of the group, she was tackling Cover Girl—the aptly named halter featured on the front cover!
Congrats, little miss thang for coloring outside the lines. What an overachiever!
PS: On the TV segment this morning, I shared the stage with a giant in the ice cream tasting business. Not only are this fellow’s taste buds insured for 1 million dollars (something like just over $900 per bud), but he invented the flavor Cookies ’n’ Cream (in 1982, in case you were curious). Unbelievable!
