Just got back from my road trip last nite! Sorry I haven’t responded to any e-mails or comments for the past three weeks. I will post road trip diaries and pictures after I finish downloading everything off the cameras!! Which will take forever, knowing me. SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!
Check it out! I got a nice little write-up in the Metro last week. It was their “Best Of” issue. Xenia, they took that picture from my eBay page. If I had known they were going to use that one, I would have asked your permission first and mentioned to them that I did not design the outfit you are wearing!!! :-( Sorry dudette. I wasn’t trying to take credit for your work!! <3 <3 <3
Sorry for crappy scan!!
Welcome back!
You should post that article when you get the chance. Can’t wait to see your pictures : )
Re: Welcome back!
Oh, yeah, you just did (post the article), duh. Is that the whole thing?
Re: Welcome back!
Yeah, it’s really short! :-D THe interview lasted an hour and a half, and he managed to condense the whole thing in one paragraph, haha! Thank god though, cuz most of my answers were really stupid. :-}
shrinkle.net?
Cool. Whatever happen to shrinkle.net?
Re: shrinkle.net?
Hahaha! Same ol’ story. I am slowly sending my web girl () pics and info to plug into the template. At the rate I am going, it will be 2009 before I launch my website, haha!
Re: shrinkle.net?
Ahhhhh please open the site!!! Stop torturing us with the agony of waiting …
Thanks, gorgeous!! :-D
High fashion?!!
You’re ‘embracing high fashion’? Does that mean no more trashy clothes for classy hos? What’s a classy ho to do?
I’m happy for you, and my ducks are too!
(quack-quack!)< ---see, happy duck noise!
Re: High fashion?!!
Dude, I NEVER said that high fashion thing, I don’t know why they wrote that! All I said was, “I used to just reconstruct band shirts, but now I like making shit from scratch a lot.” :-}
Re: High fashion?!!
They should have used that quote instead!
that is great!
Thank you! I was excited to see it! :-)
you go girl !
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
Thats so awesome!! Some day when you are making millions I will be like… yea I bought a quilted black vest off of her from ebay once!!
Making millions? YEAH RIGHT!! :-D
I can’t believe I remember that vest, hahahahhhaa!!!
yeah, millions.
then i can be your pool boy!!!!!
CONGRATS! that’s awesome, as are you.
can’t wait to see the road trip pictures.
Dude there are sooooooooooo many pics from the roadtrip, i think my boyfriend is just going to make an entire website for them, haha!
i like websites, hahaha. make sure to link!
I will!!!!
What are you doing up right now? Isnt it almost 3am where you are?
hahah this is when i am the most productive. i just finished applying fake nails and bleaching my hair again. plus it’s friday night and i don’t have to get up early, so i figure why not stay up late. or early. or something.
welcome back chiquita! can’t wait to hear about yer big adventure….and congratulations on the article!! whoo hoo!
*: )
a
When are we gonna hang out?
less make a plan, girlie! we’ve had all these crazy amounts of visitors the past few months….
we were just in san jose last weekend checkin’ out the yoshitomo exhibit at yer fine museum.
his stuff is so cute….you should check it out before it closes.
when do we get the big roadtrip update??
xo, a
When were you at that?! We went yesterday!!! SOOOO cute!
i have been craving those pink and white Mother’s Animal cookies ever since we went there!!! haha.
we went last weekend!! i swear some of those little girlies (on the big plates) looked just like my kid. he makes the funniest expressions and has that big ol sanrio head too. hee
Chica, I need to interview you for my online magazine. Because it would be cool. Yeah. ;)
…Kitty pictures! *demands*
That would be awesome! I’m really bad at interviews though. A really cool chick emailed me some interview questions 2 months ago and I still havent’ done yet them! I feel bad. I wish there were more hours in a day, haha!
Oh my god I have soooooooooo many new kitty pictures that I was gonna post but I’ve been so tired! But don’t worry, my fellow crazy cat lady. They’re coming! :-D
Nice going. Though it totally sucks that the picture is of Limecrime clothes (or are you in stuff of your own design and only Xenia is wearing Limecrime?)
Well, haha – I’m head totoe LC, and Amy is wearing a skirt she modified! I can’t believe that used that picture without asking! >:(
The funny thing is, I didn’t even make the outfit that *I* am wearing!!!! I modified and customized the skirt, but it’s not made from scratch so I’m kinda bummed. I wish they’d contacted me or something so that I could provide a picture of my own clothes, but oh well!
I’m excited and flattered that they even wrote about me, but at the same time I’m bummed about the picture. :-(
LATINA PRIDE!
Yep, you are very goth. Look how scary and dark you are in all of that pink.
HAHAHAHAHAHHAA! I know. I thought it was funny that they said GOTHIC. Why does everyone think I’m goth?
It’s because you aren’t wearing pastels and the only way people know how to explain that is to say you’re goth. =P If they thought any harder than that, their brains would explode!
But hey, I’ll be wearing a black sweater from the Gap and Khakis with absolutely no makeup (work clothes) and people will still ask me if I’m goth…
Ahh, you’re so not goth.
I adore your style. I also adore Xenia’s style, too! It’s so unique, I don’t even know what to call it. Just tell them you’re an LBG! <3
awesomeee!
Thank you! xoxo
wow. nice work!
Thanks, beautiful girl!!!
haha! They used the pic of you and Xenia lookin at your bum!
It’s still cool, though! Congrats!
Psshh my bum is hot!!! ;-)
Just kidding, haha!
:o
You dun know me, but I’m uber jealous of you ^.^;
Congrats for makin’ the news ^.^ v
HEY!!! No need to be jealous of me, EVER! I’m a bigger dork than anyone you know.
But thanks for the nice comment! :-)
That’s a pretty good, truthful article. Congrats and welcome back! ;)
But I thought they were going to do a photoshoot at your house for the article though? Weird how the idiots used that picture from your ME page! hahahaha Most ridiculous thing is, there ARE no Shrinkle creations in that pic! Ah well. I’ll re-post that article in my journal, if you don’t mind! :D xoxo
I know!!! They were supposed to come over the week before I left for my road trip, but I guess they lagged and decided to just pull something off my “Me” page at the last minute, haha! The only thing I made in that picture was the skirt, which I didn’t even make from scratch, I just bought for $14 and modified.
I just wrote you an email about this.
I sent you an email earlier. Did you get it? I hope you’re not mad. :-( I just don’t want to deal with it anymore. All I hafta say is that I’m happy the story came out rad cuz after the interview, I really thought it would turn out terribly. I would not be offended if you decided to email them, cuz I think you have every right to be upset. But I dont’ feel comfortable contacting them anymore since all of my previous emails went unanswered. :-(
Oh wow, that’s awesome!
Thanks! I was so excited! :-D
thats aweosme you rock hun \m/
you are extremely talented, hopefully some day i can join your design team if you get big enough
Thank you!!!!!!!!!! <3
I love that photo :) Well done with the article, thats great :)
Thanks!!!!!!!!! :-D
OH MY GOD you’re 24?!?!
Can’t wait to see the updates on your road trip!
Haha how old did you think I was??!?!?!! 40?!?!??!! 16?!?!?!
:-D
that’s awesome.
hum… sorry. i added you a while ago. i hope you don’t think that’s too creepy/weird. i really love what you do with clothes!
No way! It’s not creepy at all. You seem really nice. Thanks for the lovely comments! :-)
Wow welcome back.
I hope you had some fun in my hometown (Orlando)
I really hope that you didn’t run into any of the Hurricanes.
And its great that you got that article but it SUCKS that they used that picture.
The only bad thing about Orlando is that it rains spontaneously! What’s up with that?! It’ll be bright and sunny one minute and start pouring the next, haha!
Orlando DOES tend to do that a lot.
Its just our summer weather.Even when it isnt a big hurricane season.
It just rains in the afternoon often.Its just annoying.
Awesome article!! And congrats on getting so far. <3
Aww thank yoU! :-)
I’m with evel66…awesome and congratulations!
Hi, I found you through’s journal. You obviously don’t have to add me, lol but I wanted to add you because you do some cool shit with clothes and seem interesting and having you on my friends page is easier to read because I am lazy.
If that’s weird or creeps you out, yell at me. ;)
Thanks, gorgeous! Why would I think you are weird or creepy? You seem really fun and cool! I don’t update this journal much though, and I usually don’t add people till I’ve known them for a long time.
You are so hot!!! <3 <3 <3
woo
Nice!…btw, I’m not a lesbian, but I think ur hot…and I love ur clothes :p
Re: woo
haha, THANKS!!! :-D
TOOO Cool! Congratulations! Now I have to go and hunt down that issue…I usually pick it up (check out the latest in town). It might be in my car…if not I will have to hunt down this METRO!
Again Congrats! ^-^
It’s an old issue that was already done with by the time I got back from vacation! I think September 22 or something. :-}
Welcome back KittyKat, hope you had tons of fun… Coolies on the article too!
Thanks Gleny!!
I WORK @ METRO NEWSPAPER!!! I totally saw that and I was like… I know that girl!!! Coolio. I work in sales – advertising. Congrats! Very cool, that was our biggest issue of the year – hands down. I am sure a million people read that. Lookie now, you are famous in the silicon valley :0)
Oh, really?! Haha! Awesome, tell Todd I said hi!
One day when I’m not so dang poor, and I finally move out to CA, would you be interested in being a personal stylist? If my dream career comes true, I could pay you well! You’ve got the best DIY items ever. :o)
What’s your dream career???
Cute icon!!!!
Thank you! :o)
I want to be a *well paid* model. I’ll probably shoot for Ford or Warning Models, and I want to do some acting.
congrats on the article Amy!
You are famous in the bay area!
Re: congrats on the article Amy!
Thanks, Big Van! :-D
Hi Amy!!! I hope you had a fabbytastic trip (I’m so jealous you got to meet Christie!!). You look gorgeous in that heart halter top pic on your ME page – I don’t want to wear mine now cos I’ll never look so cute in it!! Good one on the article but (like EVERYONE else said) the picture they stole kinda brings it down a bit.
Oh, whatever!!!!! I’m sure you look soooo adorable in the top. Lemme see pics! Let’s be twins! :-D
Sweet Jesus. I found you through the Hotfashionsales community, and I’m sure you get this enough.. but you have AMAZING style(that was an understatement), and you look like such a person. You make me wanna move back to San Jose lol. I moved to Florida four months ago.
Anywho, you are gorgeous(has anyone told you that you resemble Tila Nguyen?). And congrats on the Metro article! :)
*you look like such a fun person.
Random question:
what kind of contacts do you have that makes light eye colors look so real?? I am jealous.
i want to have like 10,000 of your babies.
Hey, real quick. :) I was planning on bleaching out my hair and dying it the same colour as yours. What exact brand/colour is it? :D Oh, I mean before you changed it… the one in your icon. :)
I also plan on buying about 6-10 of your eyeshadows soon. Ha. :P
I just came to your LJ because I saw your Strawberry shortcake corset dress on ebay and it RULES.
If I could think of somewhere who would publish an article about you, I’d write it… but I’m having bad luck with publishing articles lately.
Wow, just saw this – how cool!!!!!!!
thats awesome your in the newspaper from making clothes and selling on ebay
