Look Ma! We’re on TV!
We had the opportunity to appear on WWL Channel 4 News this morning to help promote the Bridge House / Grace House Recycled Fashion Show that will take place tomorrow night.
It was an interesting day to say the least. Jeremy and I drove separate cars to the station and counted ourselves lucky to get not one, but two parking spots right in front of the news station/building. We changed into our ‘recycled threads’ (created by local designer and friend Lori Norvell of Material Girl NOLA). We waited for a bit in the green room (which wasn’t really green and was more of a warehouse size as opposed to room size.) Jeremy ran into local singer/songwriter Andrew Duhon, whom has an amazing voice. Andrew was also appearing on the morning show singing a few of his songs.
Eric Paulsen and Sally Ann Roberts gave us all a few good laughs when they questioned Jeremy’s outfit- a muscle shirt and a kilt with a wallet attached to a belt. They wanted to know if kilts were now in- I personally think after the world sees how awesome Jeremy looked, everyone will want one! My favorite comment of the day was Eric asking Jeremy if he had on a man-pouch. Indeed he did!
We did a few shots that appeared in between segments with several other ‘models’. In the midst of being on the news for the first time in our lives…one of the ladies directing us on what to do and where to be asks if anyone is parked in front of the news station. We know the news following can’t be good…we were certain she wasn’t going to congratulate us on the great parking spots. She informed us that our cars were about to be towed. We both run outside- Jeremy in a muscle shirt and kilt, and I in my pouffy skirt and camel hair vest- and sure enough, two tow trucks are setting up to tow both of our cars away. Luckily, the kind lady who was helping us today had asked them to hold up because she had figured it was us. Phew!
We moved the cars and ran back in so we could make the other shots.
The fashion show segment went well. Anne, who organized the event, as well as Lori, the designer of our outfits spoke a bit about how awesome the event is. Here’s a clip from the morning show today. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did!
We are ready for the fashion show tomorrow and are so happy to be able to take part in such a great event!
Koozies and Kilts
We’ve teamed up with Lori Norvell of Material Girl to introduce a few new products. St. Patty’s Day is right around the corner, so we’re stoked that the brilliant upcycling designer suggested koozies and kilts. We know how much New Orleanians love St. Patty’s Day and partying. So, grab yourself a koozie and/or kilt and get to partyin’! These items will be available at the February 4 Freret Art Market. AND…there’s more up our sleeves…we know you’re excited, but you’ll have to wait!
The Bridge House / Grace House Recycled Fashion Show!
That’s right! Jeremy and I will be in The Bridge House / Grace House Recycled Fashion Show this Friday, February 3, 2012. After the show, outfits will be auctioned to the crowd with proceeds benefitting The Bridge House and Grace House. Jeremy and I will both be wearing an outfit designed by Lori Norvell of Material Girl. We’ve gotten sneak peeks of both outfits throughout the process and are so excited to don them in public Friday night!
But wait! There’s more!

We will have more “Breesy Like Sunday Morning” tees, so get one or two or three while you can. These puppies sell like sno balls on a hot New Orleans day. Here’s a quick recap:

Ad Club of New Orleans 2011 Bowl-A-Thon
We had the opportunity to design the 2011 Bowl-A-Thon for Advertising Club of New Orleans. The Bowl-A-Thon is an annual fundraiser for the club where local agencies, firms, and television stations grab a bowling ball and hurl it at pins in hopes of winning the coveted trophy.
Approximately 200 shirts went out to advertising professionals in the Greater New Orleans area. A big thanks to Purple Monkey for providing screen printing for the tshirts.
Here’s what this year’s shirt looks like- let us know what you think of them! For more info about becoming a member of the Advertising Club of New Orleans, email Aimée - she’s the Membership Chair and would love to help you!
