Sitting here watching tv and a commercial for Project Runway comes on. This guy is on there getting all excited because OMG Bob Mackey is gonna be on there. I’m thinking big deal. If I was a fashion designer on Project Runway I’d want to meet Tommy Hilfiger, he slapped some red, white and blue tag on jeans and makes a ton a money. Oh, the person who created Aeropostale, that would be a good one. Took jeans, t-shirts, and sweatshirts, gave them ragged edges, holes, and the Aeropostale tag and is making a buttload of money. Those are the people I’d be excited to meet. They make money on stuff that’s already been created.
It’s odd how that works, ya know? My niece took a pair of her worn jeans, cut them off at the knee, ripped the sides a bit and threaded ribbon to tie it back together, took some puff paint and decorated them. She wore them to school and half the school demanded to know where she bought them and what brand name were they.
Oh did hear some news on a side note….not sure if it’s good news or bad. I hear tell the stirrup pant is going to make a comeback. On the one side, they did go good with boots. Were quite comfortable with a long sweater/sweatshirt, scrunch socks and boots. On the other side though, they did tend to make your legs look weird. LOL

Yes, Chele, and your niece is missing a great opportunity here, to custom design and make the same for her peers!:) Encourage her!

She likes to fiddle with her jeans, but she’s fell in love with CSI and has decided forensics are for her. Ironically, the high school here is offering a forensics class for the first time this year and she took it. I figured finding out that CSI forensics isn’t true forensics would put her off, but she is in love with forensics, wants to go out and collect evidence, etc. Encouragment? oh yeah! Done been emailing her counselor and getting scholarships apps, and finding schools that offer forensics. I’ll get her there if I have to strap her crap on my back and carry her there. LOL

Oh Chele!:) LMAOROTF!:) CSI–I love it–all versions of it–all versions of law and order too! So that means that your neice obviously has good taste!:)
Here is another thing or two to look into:
Federal Pell Grant scholarships which cover up to $5,350 in education and training expenses…and
Federal Carl Perkins loans are low-interest loans that must be repaid-maximum amount is $4,000 for undergrads and $6,000 for graduate students.
Check ‘em out!:)
