I'm writing about good stuff here...'cause my friends are being treated cruelly by the universe & I feel like it's my job to set the balance right. A little. If I can.
My next fan letter is going out to Dara Torres. Have you seen this woman in action? I was writing about her in
chibi_kaz's LJ. Did you see her qualifying heat in last night's womens' swimming event? She is totally my hero. Totally.
Right before the 50 meter freestyle race, she noticed the girl from Sweden had a ripped suit. She ran to the sideline official & asked for the start of the race to be delayed while the swede got a new suit. Then she got back up on her block & won the damn race.
Best part? Dara Torres is about twice the age of the rest of the girls in that pool...Torres is 41. She is just plain AWESOME & I hope she wins a gold medal.
More interesting news (for me!). About a month ago I made a bobcat mask for a photographer from Europe. Just now, I received another inquiry from someone who saw a picture in "Insider" fashion magazine...of a girl wearing my bobcat! Obviously I got the by-line I asked for. Woo! Oh the exposure I'm getting is just plain incredible!!
It's a Norwegian publication. I'll have to see what I can do about finding a copy...
EDIT: OMG!!! While I was writing this I got the word from bigtime photographer & fashion editor Niki Shadrow (google her!)...she wants a BUNCH of my masks for a photoshoot!! This is SO beyond cool.
I have to ship everything by Monday...better if I can send it all today. Oh holy crap suddenly I have a ZILLION things to do!
EDIT McEDIT: AHHAHAHAHAHAAA!!! I want to ship my masks off to bigtime producer/editor/fashion mogul Niki Shadrow & I CAN'T BECAUSE I HAVE A ZERO BALANCE IN MY ACCOUNT! Haaaa! *snorfle* Seriously...it's not upsetting 'cause it's just a cash flow thing but OMG THE IRONY. Fiddle dee dee, tomorrow is another day. Money woes will be fixed by Monday. I think I'll forget about it all & go for a bike ride...lah dee dah.
*highly amused*
