Karma is a little witch, y’all

The press is in and as I predicted, Native American Fashion Week was a complete failure. An event that boasted designers from Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Flagstaff, Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Denver-when I was on board with the event, was reduced to only glacsy and grand falls creations. Tionne Linder blamed the promotion of the event for the low attendance. The truth was that the event was doomed from the beginning due to the lack of people skills of Ray Linder. Making outlandish requests and demands of the designers drove them away in droves! More than likely, they do not want to see this as a failure because of their egos but when the papers report only 60 people a show, versus the costs to produce the show-It’s a dud!

“Not all that!” was the report from some of the attendees. The sad thing in all this is that this show could have been a major knock out of the park if Glacsy had not decided to sneak around an make an enemy of me. I’m sorry but when I drop a show or a network people take notice and based on my design capabilities, more credence is given to me more so than someone like Glacsy with their mediocre photography, sub-standard fashion designs and models-who they claim they train every weekend before shows, that can’t walk or hit their mark–trust me, I’ve seen the video.

I did mention to them that they had been a long time liability to me and only jeopardized by credibility with other organizations. I was their #1 advocate because they needed one. No one wanted to work with them and I had to make the hard sale convincing people they are worthy. They wanted to insist that their actions did not disrespect me the way my departure did them. I was not the one sneaking around registering my ideas under their name. It’s vindicating that the input I have had in previous shows has been made apparent with the failure of this show. They complained that I was not doing my part and they can see now (which I doubt they will) what I contribute to the shows.

I am moving into more fashion show production and hope to produce shows for the designers I promote and these are designers who have the educational background to have a successful career in the fashion industry and not a bunch of fakes who think that by watching “America’s Next Top Model “and “Project Runway” constitutes “industry experience.”

I know they are going to respond to this because they just have to know everything their “competitors” are doing. Of course, they are going to be all, “I know you are but what am I?”
