Here are some things that have been brewing while I have been gone:
1. Kelly Cutrone Her new self help book is out called If You Have to Cry, Go Outside ... And Other Things Your Mother Never Told You. This should be a valuable resource for those of us who want to blaze the trail to entrepreneurial endeavors and in our professional life in general.

2. Karl Lagerfeld
Our favorite , of course. Unfortunately the recession has hit him pretty hard, in addition to layoffs Karl has had to discontinue his denim and sportswear line after this spring. So sad, but does that mean a major sale come June??? Hope so!

4. Plus Size Models
omg... they are taking this way over the top. Don't get me wrong, as a plus sized girl myself I am all for plus sized inclusion, but only when it's tasteful and smart. But this just is not.
Let's not forget the purpose of modeling is to show off the work of a designer whether it be jewelry or clothing. When they are completely naked, regardless of size, they are useless and such, should not be called models. Let's not lose site of our business.
