Well, Hello BOSCO!!!

I received an email around 11a.m. with an introduction of an artist whose track I immediately added to my coveted "New S*%#!" playlist. I initially listened to BOSCO like she was a contestant on The Voice, but then I saw what she looked like... My opinion went from "Wow, this young lady is really talented!" to "Um. Whoa. This chick is dope! Aaaaaand she needs to be my friend. Now." 

I then proceeded a lengthy internet investigation about any and all things BOSCO. Luckily, she was kind and assertive enough to send me information that I requested. That was yesterday. Today, she was the first voice to greet me on my iTunes. Now, I have to see her perform live, and get her into a pair of DRAPES..... Next step? Fan Club president?

Reconcile

I don't like being mad very long. Mostly because a smile suits me far better than a frown :). Last week, blogger kept refusing my pictures. Sure, it wasn't intentional, but it clogged up one of my only creative outlets. Not to mention the temperature was 800 degrees in Chicago. 
However, as of lately my attitude has been cooled off by this ever so pleasant breeze. Thank God, because I was really upset that I would never be able to post photos again. I will catch you up on a bit that has been happening with 7MA. 

We shot the video campaign for the upcoming collection of Drapes by ASHLEY SCOTT....

One of my newest clients Ruben Quiza, is causing quite an uproar in the design world. Here are some 3D renders from his upcoming project for Sushi Samba Chicago.

I was on hand to assist Ashley at Dose Market last weekend. 

It was the most splendid experience of innovative design, craftsmanship, and gastronomy I've had in Chicago yet. Here is a bit of footage I captured...

Well, there you have it. Let's just hope that the blogger gods are a little kinder in the upcoming weeks. I would hate to have to make a post this lengthy again. Ooooh! Make sure to check out my new Tumblr. I know what you're thinking, and you are exactly right. Come on! Remember my adventures in backing up? No?

Ashley Drapes is a Busy Bee

The Bee Collection Summer 2010. Sweet like honey, but not sticky.

The Garment Room

I trust my friend Dez, implicitly when it comes to suggestions for new and upcoming places to check out. So when he told me we were going to visit his friends at the Garment Room, I wasn't surprised at how instantly I fell in love. Not just with the hand-selected vintage pieces, but with the owner, Tiffany, who receives every customer with the warmth and sincerity of what I would expect from a small business in the Midwest. However, when I was informed that she originally hailed from Chicago, it all made perfect sense. I left with a flirty, long-sleeved brocade dress, and a tan Alexander Wang S/S 0'10-ish leather jacket that is so lovely I've named her Cynthia. You can find the Garment Room at 112 Greene Street, lower level (between Spring and Prince Street).

Ashley Scott will be featuring her Drapes in an upcoming trunk show May 9th, so come out and rep!

Drapes!
