There’s No Place Like Home).

I keep walking by these shoes downstairs in our showroom, secretly coveting them… it’s sort of a high-fashion-Dorothy pair of lucky shoes. They are from the Jonathan Kelsey Fall 2010 collection so keep an eye open for them.

How can we not? We have so much going on! It’s a victimless crime really.

Lately, I find myself fascinated by those other Twitter souls floating in the ether. I mean people like “Justin” whose Twitter feed is called Shit My Dad says. His short-and-to-the-point bio reads…. “I live with my 74-year-old dad. He is awesome. I just write down shit that he says”.

Then there’s other members like Rafael Rozendaal who’s Twitter is called New Rafael. If you can believe this, Rafael’s bio is shorter than Justin’s with a record 6 words — “Everything I eat, I will Twitter”.

It’s kinda refreshing to bump into these pages with no agenda other than seeing someone “work it out”. Here’s to all the random precious Twitter-heads, with their cute neurosis and laptops — go ahead and open those accounts for no other reason than satisfying your little OCD ticks. Someone out there is enjoying your therapy.

Nominees Announced Last Night)

Last night was a big industry night if you are in the fashion business. The 2010 Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards is the equivalent of fashions Oscars with an award show honoring new designers and established peers in the biz — except this red carpet takes place at Lincoln Center in New York.

Last evening was the special evening that determined it all. Hosted by Nadja Swarovski and Diane von Furstenberg at Diane’s meatpacking district headquarters, both women read off the nominees to a select amount of fashion insiders.

Now that the names are out, prepare to see these designers on fashion blogs and fresh magazine profiles, while pondering discussion by the water cooler to determine who deserves the statue.

Lets the politicin’ begin! And the nominees arrrrrrrrrrreee…..
