Display Queens

  So did I ever mention my art director before? Oh, I didn't? How rude! Well, allow me a moment to gush: He's, like, fabulous. Like, beyond fabulous. I'd say he transcends awesomeness and goes somewhere between magnificence and magnanimous. His name is Haines (yes, pronounced like the underwear) and he's been nominated in my award category of Favorite Person to Work With (which is tough since he's up against heavy-hitters like Miao, Seychelle, Jermaine and Marie). He's like the awesome Aunty you'd want to go out with whenever she was in town. He could also belong to any number of fashion-contest TV shows as the host/mentor of all the up-and-coming fashion-divas. Sighhh...if there were such thing as a gay-man-girl crush, he would be it. Yeah, it's a bit embarrassing, really. But I think you'd understand if you ever get a chance to meet him. Today, we worked on our first display case together. He was telling a story about how he had a friend in LA who was a "Display Queen" because he was tall, gay and did his hair like Gwen Stefani. Our display turned out great and I knew we had done well when Haines announced "Gorgeous!!"

  I mean really though, he's so awesome...gotta love him.

  In other news, I ran on Tuesday, took Brent's class yesterday and worked late today on the display, even though I was half an hour late to his 1 hour class...oh well, at least I learned the combo. I really liked today's choreography. Brent's going to continue it but I hope I don't forget the first part by the time we get to the second part.

  It's official--my mom bought all the ingredients for the Master Cleanse. I'm debating on doing my Lemonade Diet this weekend, or at the begining of next week. I was thinking perhaps start it on Saturday, since I won't be doing much and I can just be grouchy and starved at home instead of at work. Brent will be in LA for about a week so I figured it would be a good time to slim down since I'm coming out of hibernation now. It's time to shake off all the stored fat from the winter.
