Dragon flies

I heard the big wigs talking about a new item they were looking into today.  Apparently they have learned how to make paracord knots look like a dragon fly.  I was a little nervous about having dragons in the area, but it turns out dragon flies are actually just flying bugs that gobble up mosquitos.  That is not scary at all!  So they set out to see if they were worth producing.

Turns out that a pink dragon fly is the symbol for a cancer survivor.  I am just learning all kinds of neat stuff here.  The Studio has made the first one for a dear friend of the boss, and three more for market.  They are not listed yet but there here is a sneak peak.  If you have any survivor friends this would be an awesome reminder of their inner strength and courage!

Oh oh oh!! I almost forgot!! I have new hair.  My biggest fan, and a person so famous they named a huge statue after her in Chicago's Millennium Park, got me two new sets of hair. One is an adorable pink bob, and the other is neon green!!  I am so gonna rock those!  I can't wait until the next shoot.

I had an interesting experience today, I got to see my boss turn four different shades of green,  I don't know how she did it, but it was amazing.  Seems Gabi the Studio mascot kitty decided that she did not want her breakfast anymore... about three hours after eating it.  So not only did it come up, but apparently Gabi is skilled at up chucking on the run.... as she ran under the bosses desk and across her feet.  First time I ever heard a cat and a human dry heaving at the same time.
(don't tell the boss I told you she did not enjoy that.)

That is it for tonight!  Thanks for stopping in. Q

New pinky pics

Rob groused at me for the pinky pic that was, well... anything but pink.  So here is the series that does her justice.

Zombie Bling

Rob do you mind if Pinky puts them up on her My space?  It is not like anybody will see them there anyway.  Q

We have zombies!

OK, now that just scared me out of three years of my life.  The Boss' secret project is collectable zombie dolls.  They are kinda creepy if you ask me.  Especially when Rob thinks it would be a good idea for it to jump out in front of me when I was not even looking!  I think the only one who liked it less was the cat, Gabi.  Her eyes got as big as pie plates,  she jumped about 2 feet straight up and ran about 6 feet. She then stopped gave her shoulder an aggressive lick, gave Rob a dirty look and sauntered off.  Now that was funny.  Here is a picture of the doll.

Rob now apparently thinks he is all that and a bag of wasabi peas,  because he has a new duty in the shop... making polymer clay hearts for the dolls.  Each one different from the others.  I suppose it will make each zombie even more unique.

I hope you all had a great 4th!  I took the day off  so here is your "TDS Tidbit"  a day late ( I know you have been waiting!)

There are few things in life funnier than making a cat jump straight up in the air.

Thanks for dropping by come back soon!


Q

My new look!

 Today we added a new product to StudioCalvin that required... Well a unique look for me.    I never saw myself as a survivalist or even Steampunk. I have to admit, I make this look magnificent! 

Before I get more into this look here is the link for the new product.

There.  Sorry for the commercial, but it is part of my contract.
OK, so back to my shoot,
To the left I am sporting my awsome pink hair and a vintage WWII protective mask.  (don't tell Amanda, but it smells like feet)

 Now in this picture you can see the custom sling.  The clothes I am wearing are Old Navy. Oh Snap! Dominick You wish you could make these look this good!

Here I am rocking out with my favorite  hair.  One of my best fans has promised me some awsome new hair, so this may not be my favorite for long.

 To the right is what I like to call my casual zombie hunter look. It is just the thing on a hot summer day when the zombie infestation is minimal.

This one just makes me smile, and talk like Darth Vader... [breathing sounds] where are photographers from Vogue?... [breathing sounds] 

 This one is my total camo look, no hair so I can really blend in.  I am apocalypse ready baby!

This is me, looking at you... saying.... Thanks for stopping in!
see ya next time!

Q

I really do love my job

What an amazing day!  So, I was hanging around the water cooler and I had literally been there for hours just standing around shooting the breeze with anybody who passed by.  When all of the sudden the Boss comes down.  I thought I was canned for sure!  Did she fire me? NO!
In fact she noticed that my sandal had come undone and she fixed it for me.

Did you notice?  They are letting me wear the StudioCalvin Bracelet. It is awesome!

You can get the bracelet here.

Hee Hee now I can tell my boss I did SOME work today.





What a great place! I got to hang out at the water cooler ALL DAY!  Nobody even cared.  This is my kind of job  I think I will make Mondays my TDS Tidbit day.   At the end of every Monday after a day of water cooler introspection, I will share a morsel of Textile Display Specialist wisdom with you.

I will say goodnight with this TDS Tidbit :   The leading cause of death among fashion models is falling through street grates.
