two birds one stone sounded good at the time...

Today was a whirlwind! We are in the thick of it getting ready for boylesque's season opener on tuesday (free at the door, PS) which Medium Reality is styling, as well as two runway shows: the Economics of Art *and* Lovesick3 next week. We have healthy segments in both. Prepping an insane amount of blazers, 10-12 looks in each show, and trying to keep all the models organized in my mind. So many things i have seen this week, in fittings... the things i could tell you! But no, you must come see. Lovesick staged a crazy whirlwind of a fitting in the posh Etiquette Lounge on market st... Watching Jasmine Zorlu and all the other designers prep their models, I am getting really pumped at the level of quality we will be showing!
