Yesterday, I asked Adam “Do you think I’m eccentric?” And he answered with a very confident yes. It surprised the hell out of me. Seriously it did. The reason I asked is because someone else had used that word to describe me and I was just as surprised at that too. Listen, I know I’m [...]

I Heart My New Lawyers
Posted in just plain ranting on July 30, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Today Adam and I met with our new lawyers who will be representing Ciara Elend, LLC. We have always had good lawyers on our side, but we needed ones who also understand the business of creativity. And they were exactly what we were looking for unlike the other people I’ve run into.
Over the last [...]

(product code CTE-0911)
So here’s a prototype of one of my latest designs that will come out in Spring 09. The same artist who drew my best in show beagle also drew the original illustration of this lion–which I did buy the rights to use. I just the need to add another cute animal to [...]
Keepin’ it on the DL

I haven’t blogged for the last week because truthfully it’s been pretty quiet over here at the CE studio. Actually we do have quite a few very exciting things in the works, but I can’t talk about any of them. Which is so painful because you know I love talking about the business and I [...]
Oh and stop asking

Listen. In my posts, I bitch and complain alot about “you.” You, reader, will never figure out who “you” is because “you” doesn’t exist. “You” really is a collective. So yes you, reader, are also a part of “you” but don’t worry because every other person I know is part of the “you” too. [...]
I’m bored.

Remember saying this when you were younger but in a much higher-pitched childish whine “I’m boooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeedddddddddd.” These hot summer days make me feel lazy. And in turn I procrastinate on doing the productive things like working. I do love my work most of the time, but right now we’re focusing on sales at Ciara Elend, [...]
This blog causes me trouble

It still surprises me that people read my blog. What’s also more surprising is that they will continue to read it. I feel a bit naked when I think about you, my reader, reading this. Makes me feel a bit dirty. A stream of consciousness experiment for me equals semi-interesting reading for you.
I am [...]
Who are you feeling today?

As we have been talking to more and more people, we are realizing that people need to see how my shirts work in the big scheme of things. In Los Angeles, people really get “casual couture” because ladies are always looking for ways to dress up their jeans and sandals in extremely consistent beachy weather. [...]
Supporting the arts…nationally
Posted in art stuff, just plain ranting on July 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »
So as we’ve been talking to more and more people, like buyers, stores, media peeps, and they’ve all been suggesting that we support the arts, not just in Queens but nationally. Well, I don’t need to be prodded much to make that decision. So a portion of the proceeds from all sales whether it be [...]
Sigh. I miss my brothers.

See! I do have feelings. My two younger brothers Chad and Calvin recently came to visit me seperately these past two weekends. I hadn’t seen them for about a year or so and it was soooo great seeing them again. It just reiterated that I already knew. They both f%^ken rock! And they are so [...]
