Wow! More proof that Glacsy lies and steals!

I was recently informed by someone in the Glacsy camp that they decided to feature a stolen design in their 2009 Navajo Nation Fair fashion show.  It proves that they lie and network with the most dishonest people.  Only one word comes to mind.  SCUM!!!  They call me a liar, childish and unprofessional?  They seriously need to learn how to run a business and what constitutes proper business ethics.  They call people childish and stupid when they are confronted with tangible truth they cannot refute!  Dealing with them is like dealing with someone with mental deficiencies.

They like to think that by attacking my talents that it will make them better at whatever they do.  The evidence is in the skills…they can launch whatever hate campaign they want and have their “friends” help but it just is not going to work…I am a talented designer and for every one “hater” there are thousands of fans loving what I do.

For every one show I do, it’s is like a hundred shows for them…basically for the Glacsy impaired, that means that I don’t have to sell myself as hard as they do and take every offer that comes down the pike!  I can afford to be choosy about the projects I take and the people I work with.

They have no choice…they HAVE to take whatever offers come their way because of thier substandard talents.  I hope from here on out they stay out of my life and out of my way…which I doubt will happen because they live on trying to deter my talents by talking their lies and trash.  They are on borrowed time.  They are running out of tricks and appeal.  The more people know them the more they realize they don’t like them and hate the clothing they make and that’s the truth!

They act like I don’t know the stories behind the scenes.  I worked with them for almost 5 years and they told me every secret and every insecurity they have.  I know why they act out…they can be childish and say, “Well so do we.”  They fail to understand that I was doing this long before them in Los Angeles and I know all the “tricks.”  They seriously need to put something between their ears besides lies and hate.  I moved on ages ago and it is them that want to see that they are still relevant to me…they don’t matter to me and what I do.  I never relied on them then and I don’t rely on them now.  They bring up stuff  just to get people talking about them because that’s the only time they are in the public eye is when they are trying to create old drama with me.  The public is growing tired of them.  The public cannot be fooled by the real talent.

People cannot deny who they want to see and who’s shows they will go to.  I was a major draw for a lot of shows.  I do not lie when I say I am the designer that saves annuals and gets from the first annual to the second.  My designs inspire and move people.  I am the designer that is most copied and I do breath new ideas into the Native Market.

It really is sad that a lot of these people in the Native American Market cannot come up with their own ideas.  They have to see what someone else does and then copy them…that’s why you cannot tell the difference between something done by Big Water Design to Navajo Spirit. 

That is evident when Glacsy decided to use a garment I produced in their Navajo Nation Fair show.  It’s a piece that Anderson Yazzie decided not to return to me.  I have to stop trusting people and thinking that people are worth helping.  The company Glacsy keep are just like them!  SCUM!

The following photo was taken by Navajo Arts and Crafts for the show I did for the 2009 Women of the Navajo Calender lauch at 2008’s Navajo Nation Fair.  The photo was posted to the “Go Navajo” website.

Turn up the heat and liars will tell on themselves

As seen in the last blog entry, Ray Linder from Glacsy, responded…funny, I did not mention Glacsy in the last article and they just assumed it was about them and that the situation was about them.  It’s funny that they assume that I only have this one thing going on in my life because it’s the only thing going on in their lives…how do they know I’m not talking about some other promotional company and that they are the people from my past I do not wish to work with.

I did not mention names because it wasn’t about them (and I’m not confirming if I’m talking about Glacsy), it was about a situation that I was in and I genuinely did not know what to do.  I will say this:  I had already decided to drop out of the event that proposed me working with Glacsy.  That particular promotion company told me that It was my choice to turn down events but that they would keep me posted to upcoming events and if I chose to do them–then, “YAY!”

I personally cannot believe that I even sent a response to his accusations because I was basically giving into their own self-serving egos.  It was a waste of spiritual energy in doing so but I had to “draw the line”, “burn the bridge”, “bury the past once and for all”, with Glacsy.

I have moved on and I am doing great things for myself and Glacsy has to rear their ugly heads into my present with their grand standing and last bid to use my talents to sell themselves.  They are yesterday’s news.  They may once in awhile get an offer from some office in Phoenix or Los Angeles but once they go out and represent themselves…the industry people see them for what they are…amateurs…they don’t have the educational or professional background to carry off whatever it is they do to the  serious industry people.

Well now that I have wasted even more energy and time on this matter…let’s hope Glacsy is in the past once and for all…oh, and the fact that Glacsy decided to borrow and refuse to return $5000 (yes, $5000) worth of designs and production equipment (deliver all the low blows you want Ray), it will always be an issue if someone asks me to work with you (and there I am addressing Glacsy directly).  I ‘m tired of my talents being used promote these people and yes…to a certain extent people do have to serve me…hate it? DEAL WITH IT!!!  I am a REAL FASHION DESIGNER WITH REAL TALENT and not some “mom and po(o)ped-out” lemonade stand.  LOVE ME, HATE ME, WHEN IT COMES RIGHT DOWN TO IT–you’re promoting me and people ask the question:  “Why do they hate you so much…I saw your designs and love them…if it weren’t for their hate…I would never have gotten to know your talent.”
