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.

Man what a weekend

Hi everybody I hope you all had a great weekend.  Mine was wonderful, but it seems like I have been on my feet the entire time.  It is times like this when I wish I had articulating limbs so I could sit down.

I am excited.  My boss, Amanda, is finishing up her next item going into her Studio catalog.  Of course I, as the Chief Textile Display Specialist (I like the sound of that), will be handling the visual marketing of it.  I am not allowed to divulge what Amanda is making.  Apparently industrial espionage is huge in the home crafting community.  Who knew.  Anyway, it should be done soon so be sure to check us out.    I hope Rob will let me wear my new hair, he said I  could get better pictures the next time he did a shoot.  I am getting very excited.

I had a little run in with one of the hand display technicians yesterday.  She saw my interpretation of the best way to pose with a bracelet.  She said my style was cold and lifeless.  I think she is worried about her job, because I totally rocked it!!

OK  That is it for now.  Remember a new item will be popping up soon!

Welcome!

Hi everybody!  Welcome to my Blog.  I hope you will enjoy following me on my journey through my career and one day to stardom!

Let me start my first post by telling you a little about myself.  My name is Quinnie I am a textile display specialist.  Some people call us mannequins, or even dummies.... how rude.  You however have obviously taken the time to educate yourself on the proper terminology.   My start in this field was a little rocky.   I was "discovered" by a man claiming to be a talent scout for K-mart in Vermont and that they had a perfect spot for me during the up coming back-to-school event.  Turns out he wanted me to work in the intimates section....

    So I had a friend throw me in a box and ship me to a studio Illinois where I am currently the chief textile display specialist.  I have two hand display technicians working under me so I guess it is kind of a management job.  I am finally moving up.  That is me to right on my first day at the job.  I think I look a little stiff here, but I know I will get better with practice.

I have already done 10 or so textile displays.  The work is ok so far.  I was not happy when I was told I would not be allowed to wear anything during the shoot because it would detract from the product.  I had been told it would be asked of me as a textile display specialist, but it took some getting used to.  I did get to wear a bracelet for some of them.  The picture to the left is one of my first shoots.  It shows my bum.. although I have to admit, it is a nice one.  I hope they are not too risque, but hey this is high fashion right?  OK That is it for tonight

Good night everybody!
