SUMMER BUMMER FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER AND EVER AND

I DON'T BUY SUMMER CLOTHES

I TRY TO DRESS LIKE IT'S

MY TIME

MY WEATHER 

ALL YEAR LONG

BUT

THAT DOESN'T MEAN I'M 

NOT JEALOUS OF GIRLS

IN THEIR PRECIOUS DRESSES

AND SANDALS

BUT, 

I AM A CREATURE OF HABIT

AND THEREFORE STILL WEAR

JEANS

SHOES

SOCKS

DENIM SHIRTS

LONG SLEEVE STRIPES

AND 

SUFFER 

STUPIDLY FOR IT

BUT, 

I DIGRESS

THE FALL COLLECTIONS ARE FILLED

WITH DREAMS OF CLOTHES

THAT I AM PUMPED AND

HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR

AND WILL DO A PROPER 

ROUNDUP OF MY FAVES HERE SOON

BUT, 

AS YOU MAY KNOW

THE WORLD IS IN A HEATWAVE RIGHT

NOW

NYC IS GONNA BE HOT HOT HOT

AND STINK STINK STINK

SO, 

FIND SOLACE IN THOSE DRESSES

LADIES

I WILL SWEAT IN 

TEMPERATE AC

THE LADY WILL HAVE THE GREY

I'LL TAKE A GREY DAY ANY DAY

OF 

THE 

WEEK

AS LONG AS YOU CAN STILL BE SURROUNDED

BY GREEN AND BLUSH

 POPS 

OF 

LIFE

I THINK FREER AND CLEARER

I HAVE TO START DESIGINING A NEW

COLLECTION FOR HOLIDAY AND

I'M FRESH OUT OF IDEAS

SO HOPEFULLY TODAY'S 

CLEAR MIND WILL

FEEL

INSPIRED

BE THE SUNSET

ANYONE WHO KNOWS ME KNOWS I DON'T

DEAL WELL WITH SUMMER

I DON'T THINK GOING TO THE BEACH SHOULD

BE RESERVED FOR A FEW MONTHS OF THE 

YEAR

I DON'T DRESS WITH MY BODY EXPOSED

EVER

I DON'T REALLY GET TO TAKE TIME OFF 

BECAUSE I'VE CHOSEN TO BE THE BOSS OF

ME

SO, I HAVE TO COMPROMISE

IT'S HARD FOR ME TO NOT WEAR ALL DENIM ALL

THE TIME

BUT I THINK THIS SUMMER I MIGHT HAVE TO GET

SOME FLOWY DRESSES AND TRY TO BE THE SUNSET

IN THESE BLUSH AND BASHFUL COLORS

EMBRACE THE HEAT

I 

GUESSS

BALLOONIN'

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED BALLOONS

I THINK THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST 

SURPRISES YOU CAN GET 

AS AN

ADULT

INTRODUCING....

BALLOONS! 

BY THE GREAT LAKES GOODS

TWO SETS OF DIFFERENT FEELINGS

ONE IS MORE CAREFREE AND PARTY STYLES

THE OTHER IS MORE DREAMY AND ROMANTIC STYLES

COMING TO BOUTIQUES NEAR YOU SOON

AND TO THE SHOP

SOON ENOUGH

BRAIN FREEZE

I GOT AWAY FROM DOING MUSIC MIXES

IN THE SUMMER WHEN IT'S TOO HOT 

PEOPLE SEEM TO LISTEN TO

PARTY MUSIC

I GO IN THE OTHER DIRECTION

I NEED NO WORDS

AND NO AGGRESSION

JUST SOME BACKGROUND

AND REPETITION

ENJOY

MUSIC STARTS HERE

SING ME TO SLEEP

IT HAS BEEN A NUTTY COUPLE OF WEEKS

THE TRADE SHOW FOR THE PAPER WORLD

JUST ENDED

AND NOW I MUST START TO WORK

AGAIN

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT

FOR IT, STOPPED BY AND SAID HI

OR SAID NOTHING AT ALL AND 

WALKED AWAY WITH A SMILE

DOING TRADE SHOWS IS LIKE A RUSH

THAT LEAVES YOU FEELING LIKE YOU

LEFT SOMETHING SOMEWHERE 

WHEN IT'S ALL OVER

IT GETS HARDER AND HARDER TO 

COME UP WITH NEW THINGS THAT YOU

THINK OTHER PEOPLE WILL LIKE, BUT

IF I LIKE THEM THEN I HOPE EVERYONE

ELSE

DOES 

TOO

ABOVE IS A MIX OF MY CURRENT STATE OF

MIND AS THE FIRST HOLIDAY WEEKEND

OF THE "SUMMER" IS UPON US

FEELING A LITTLE SLEEPY, A LITTLE HAZY 

AND ALWAYS

A 

LITTLE DREAMY

ENJOY THE WEEKEND

I WILL BE POSTING NEW PRODUCT 

FOR SALE IN THE SHOP NEXT WEEK

AND HOPE TO SHARE PICS OF MY BOOTH

TOO
