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 from my couture line or Queensbound will be donated to one of these three organizations. I haven’t made up my mind yet so if you have any comments, suggestions, gripes and such, I’d love to hear which one you support.
