FYA: Lost in Snowstorm

It is my sad duty to report that one of the Angels has been tragically lost in yesterday's snowstorm. Search parties have been formed, but the outlook is grim...

Product Knowledge - Week 1

Woop! Woop! Last night, the professor was a no-show. Everyone signed the attendence sheet, even those of us who weren't there! Hmmm...

Inportant Info:

Room - 204, our usual spot. Those damn biotches better stop stealing our Geek Squad seats!! You cannot separate the crew!

Professor: Missing in Action

Text: Know Your Fashion Accessories, 2003. Used, this paperback text is about $40. So far, Patrick and I have the text.

Oh well! We'll try again next week!

Product Development - Week 1

Last night was our first Product Development class with Professor Bruce. I don't think that I'm the only one not quite ready to return to class this quarter...

Books: Fashion Career guides

In an altered state of mind, I ordered the following books from Amazon.com:

Real-Resumes for Retailing, Modeling, Fashion and Beauty Industry Jobs: Including Real Resumes Used to Change Careers and Transfer Skills to Other Industry

Of course, when I receive and read the books I'll let y'all know.
