If you are in the Cleveland area, I have to say this is one nightclub you may want to check out, with absolutely stylish decor and a very warm and wonderful staff this place should become the next Cleveland Hot Spot.. With a fair size dance floor, two large bars upstairs and one bar downstairs this place could easily hold a very large crowd. The back bar had over the walls chains hanging from the ceiling to the floors and at first glance you weren't sure what it was then it hit you--wow chains used as wall paper if you will!

There were some very minor problems last night that have me some what concerned over the Big Fashion show in June, but overall it was a very nice event with a really great bar staff that was just wonderful and the few designers I did get to meet were just insightful to the whole process that is going to be my experience of Cleveland Fashion Week.  I was very nervous last night, and when I am nervous I get very quite and tend to turn inward, its like I doubt myself and my skill and I know beyond a doubt it is something I have to get over.  It does I am sure make me seem shy and quite and hopefully the nervousness doesn't come across. I am very excited about the opportunity to show my things at Fashion Week Cleveland and what may come from this is still largely unknown but I am excited and still a little nervous too.

The next event is June 5th called  the Glam Party hosted at La Dolce Vita from 9p.m. to 2p.m. it is the Official Launch Party for Fashion Week Cleveland.  There is a $10 fee so if your in the Cleveland area  I would love to have you there celebrating everything Fashion.

La Dolce Vita 12112 Mayfield Rd. Little Italy Entertainment District, Cleveland Ohio

HUGE NEWS

I got an e-mail today which made my day, hell it made my week, my month, my year even. The e-mail told me that my design from the Habitat For Humanity Show was accepted into Fashion Week Cleveland! Fashion Week Cleveland has been called "the nation's third largest fashion week after New York and Los Angeles" by Women's Wear Daily and I was accepted! The show is June 5th and there are only five colleges that are involved.  Akron University, University of Cincinnati, Columbus College of Art and Design, Kent State University and Ursuline College and is Cleveland LARGEST fashion event in the year.  Right now I have no idea how many of us were invited to be in this but I know I am HONORED beyond words.

We meet our models this Saturday at a big gala event where all the fashionable will be and I am still whirling.  It seems like all these honors and I still have had no classes at KSU.  There is 2 1/2 years at part time at Virginia Marti but that was almost 20 years ago.  What does the future hold?  I guess we both find out at the same time.

If you are in the mood the Fashion Week Cleveland website is http://www.fashionweekcleveland.com/ in the meantime I amso glad we had this time together.
