yesterday was long and full and tiring but i got through it with out a hitch…the first show was a little shaky but its considered our dress rehearsal so that was fine…the second show was good and the last show was amazing…one of my models forgot to take off her jack to show the amazing sweater that took me we too long to make…which was disappointing but i wasn’t going to get all drama fashion design on her…she realized her mistake and apologized…it sucked but oh well…everything else was perfect…

patz was official photographer for the night so im going to wait to get pictures from him as well as the rest of my family and stuff then i will post them up…but for now here are some other random shots…

just want to send out a special thanks to all the peeps that were there…chadwick, patz, dario, robyn, vanessa, sonia, drewski, justin, sasha, daniel, rene, elise, ryan, cristina, james, alexis, emily, ryan #2, julie and karen…as well as the rest of my famiglia…it was great having you all there to support me!

yay for it being over!!!

its also interesting when you go to peoples houses and they find out you’re italian and get all excited…so they ask you all these italian questions and tell you stories about italy and ask if you have a fig tree in the back yard and look surprised when you say no…

i love it really…its such a marketing ploy…its so easy meeting new people cause everyone has something to say about italians…good and bad…but at least its a conversation piece…

being italian has saved my ass so many times…i just start waving my hands and say ‘ehhh ohh’ and everyone loves me…for the most part…at least its amusing…

“dont think for a minute that i am anything less then 98% italian”
