FASHION'S NIGHT OUT

ZAYLIE AND ZEKE HOSTING FASHION NIGHT OUT AT NORMA KAMALI!!

HI EVERYONE ZAYLIE WAS HOSTESS WITH THE MOSTEST FROM THE MINUTE THE DOORS OPENED AT 10AM. I MANAGED THE LINES OUTSIDE, AND EVERYONE RAN TO THE UNDER 100 DOLLAR SALE RACKS. WE KEPT REFILLING THE RACKS AND THE FLOW OF PEOPLE KEPT COMING.

CHAMPAGNE WITH THE LOVELY BUBBLY FRAGRANT SCENTED SODAS MADE FROM ALL NATURAL ESSENCES FROM FRANCE WAS FLOWING AND EVERYONE WAS HAVING A GOOD TIME TIL 11PM.

THE WELLNESS MASSAGES BEGAN EARLY USING ALL THE WELLNESS PRODUCTS FROM THE ORGANIC OLIVE OIL LINE. PAIGE HAS HEALING HANDS AND SHE TRANSFORMED SO MANY FASHION NIGHTERS TO FULL RELAXATION... THEN THERE WAS A LINE FOR THE HAIR BRAIDING. JAMIE COOK FROM THE WHITTEMORE HOUSE SALON ON GROVE STREET, WAS TURNING OUT THE MOST CREATIVE HAIR BRAIDING EVER. THE LOOKS WERE ALL DIFFERENT AND EVEN BETTER THE SECOND AND THIRD DAY.

 THE MINX NAILS IN SILVER AND GOLD FOIL AND LEOPARD PATTERNS WERE AMAZING, AND OXANA FROM WHITTEMORE HOUSE WAS DOING SINGLE NAILS TO FULL HANDS. JEWELRY FOR THE NAILS SOO FANTASTIC PEOPLE WERE BOOKING UP APPOINTMENTS AT THE WHITTEMORE HOUSE.

THERE WAS PLENTY OF OLIVE OIL POPCORN FOR ALL AND ANNMARIE NOONAN, THE PASTRY CHEF FROM THE  BRYANT PARK GRILL DID A FANTASTIC JOB USING OUR NATURAL EDIBLE FRAGRANCES IN LAVENDER SHORT BREADS, VIOLET MOUSSE WITH ROSE WHIP CRÈME, OLIVE OIL BISCOTTI WITH SEA SALT AND NUTS, AND VIOLET MARSHMELLOWS AND ROSE PETAL MERENGUE…. AND LO’TS MORE!!

EVERYONE STAYED TO THE LAST MINUTE AND WE WERE ALL EXHAUSTED BUT HAD LOTS OF FUN..

HUNDREDS OF STYLES WERE SOLD AND EVERYONE LEFT WITH BAGS OF GOODIES WORTH WAY MORE THAN THEN SPENT.

EVERYONE GOT FREE SAMPLES OF WELLNESS PRODUCTS AND SCENTS AND ZAYLIE AND I, AND ALL 8 PAWS BETWEEN US HURTING, BUT WE WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET MASSAGES FROM PAIGE BEFORE WE WENT HOME  AND WE WERE FEELING JUST FINE!!

 THE IDEA OF SHOPPING AFTER WORK HOURS SHOULD BE EXPLORED BECAUSE IT IS A PRACTICAL AND FUN TIME FOR PEOPLE TO SHOP. IT IS WELL WORTH DOING AGAIN, AND MAYBE HAVING ONE DAY A MONTH AS FASHION NIGHT OUT. ZAYLIE AND ZEKE ARE READY FOR ACTION!!

POLKA DOT SWIM SUIT IN VOGUE!!

ARIEL ALWAYS SAYS IF I WERE HUMAN I WOULD BE FRENCH BECAUSE OF MY PERSONALITY.. I AM NOT SURE WHAT SHE MEANS BY THAT.. BUT FRENCH VOGUE TOTALLY BYPASSED ME IN THE LAST PHOTO SHOOT THEY DID WITH ALL BLACK AND WHITE CANINES. IN FACT NORMA’S BIG POLKA DOT SWIM SUIT WAS SHOT WITH A BIG WHITE AND BLACK DALMATION. I AM NOT THE JEALOUS KIND BUT THERE WERE PAGES AND PAGES OF BLACK AND WHITE SWIM AND CANINES…… AND QUITE FRANKLY I AM NOT BAD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA

FERGIE IN NORMA'S SWIM SUITS!!

OK I AM THRILLED THAT THE BLACK EYED PEAS ARE FRONT AND CENTER ON MY MUSIC, BOOM BOOM POW!! NORMA LISTENS TO FERGIE AND EVERYONE IN THE OFFICE CAUGHT ON TO MY MARY JANE SHOES FROM HER LAST ALBUM.. I SAW PRESS CREDITS FLYING AROUND AS MICHELLE WAS TEARING OUT ALLURE PHOTOS AND THERE SHE WAS A DOUBLE PAGE SPREAD OF FERGIE IN NORMA’S SAMMY SWIMSUIT. SHES ROCKIN, TO QUOTE MICHELLE.
AND THEN SHE SAID CHECK OUT FERGIE IN THE STUDDED JORGE IN THE AD FOR THE BLACK EYED PEAS NEW ALBUM ON THE BACK PAGE. THE PHOTOS OF FERGIE ARE GREAT AND AS LONG AS THE TEAR SHEETS WERE ON THE FLOOR I WOULDN’T LET KONA NEAR THEM.. YOU KNOW HE LIKES TO MARK EVERYTHING!!

NORMA KAMALI EXCLUSIVE COLLECTION ON EBAY!!!

GABRIELLA HAS BEEN FEVERISHLY ADDING HOT SWIM STYLES AND OTHER DISCONTINUED DESIGNS TO THE NEW NORMA KAMALI EBAY STORE. EVERYONE IN THE OFFICE IS VERY DISTRACTED OVER THE SALE AND FRIENDS ARE WANTING TO KNOW WHEN THE STYLES ARE GOING UP..AND I KEEP DROPPING MY BALL IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AND KONA IS RUNNING IN AND OUT OF THE ELEVATOR TRYING TO PRETEND TO ESCAPE. ZAYLIE IS DOING HER PRETTY GIRL POSSES AND NO ONE IS PAYING ATTENTION TO US .. IT IS PURE…BEDLAM.. I GUESS WE NEED TO CHECK THE EBAY STORE..

ZEKE MEETS ORIBE AT THE WHITTEMORE HOUSE SALON

I LOVE VICTORIA HUNTER!!! AND I CAN FIND MY WAY TO WHITTEMORE HOUSE (THE BRAND NEW SALON SHE AND LARRY OPENED @45 GROVE STREET NY, NY) BECAUSE I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER. I HEAR VICTORIA IS AN INCREDIBLE COLORIST AND I HAVE SEEN NORMA IN EVERY COLOR FROM RED TO SEVERAL SHADES OF BROWN OF COURSE PRODUCED BY HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN VICTORIA! I WILL NEVER FORGET THE FIRST TIME NORMA MET VICTORIA SHE PAINTED HAIR WAVES IN MULTIPLE SHADES OF BROWN AND WE WERE THERE FOR A VERYYYYYY LONG TIME.

LAST NIGHT ORIBE DID A DEMONSTRATION OF HIS NEW HAIR PRODUCTS AT WHITEMORE HOUSE AND HE TALKED ABOUT THE FUN SHOOTS, CELEBRITIES AND MODELS. I LOVE MODEL GO SEES BY THE WAY.. MODELS LIKE TO PET ME AND I LIKE GREETING THEM WHEN THEY COME FOR GO SEES.
WHITTEMORE HOUSE FEELS LIKE HOME BUT IT IS REALLY SPECIAL. THE BUILDING IS ONE OF THE OLDEST IN THE CITY AND THE SALON WAS PAINTED WITH A LOOK THAT IS ARTFULLY AGED. I HEARD NORMA SAY THIS, ITS NOT SOMETHING YOU NORMALLY HEAR A DASCHUND SAY.
MICHELLE CUTS AND STYLES HAIR AT WHITTEMORE AND SHE HAS SO MANY CLIENTS WAITING TO SEE HER. SHE WAS WRITTEN ABOUT AND EVERYONE LOVES HER WORK. I PERSONALLY HOPE SHE ASKS ME TO SIT ON HER LAP THE NEXT TIME WE COME IN!
ORIBE DID NORMA'S HAIR FOR ONE OF THE DEMONSTRATIONS AND SHE SAID
‘HOW HARD IT WOULD BE FOR ANYONE TO MATCH THE TALENT OF SOMEONE LIKE ORIBE”.

ORIBE'S BIRTHDAY IS SEPTEMBER 13TH AND SO IS MINE.
ORIBE WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SPECIAL WAY HE DESIGNED A WIG FOR A SHOOT HE DID FOR V MAGAZINES SWIMWEAR ISSUE AND GUESS WHICH STYLE THE WIG WAS USED FOR. NORMA'S SHEER MESH TOP OVER A SWIMSUIT.

I DECIDED TO BLOG BECAUSE... HEY ISN'T EVERYONE? AND WHO KNOWS MORE THAN I DO ABOUT NORMA KAMALI AND CO..

NICE TO MEET YOU ALL. I AM NORMA'S MINIATURE DACHSHUND, A PIEBALD, FROM LOUISIANA. MY BUDDIES HERE AT WORK ARE ZAYLIE, A GORGEOUS, AND WHEN I SAY GORGEOUS, I MEAN GORGEOUS CHOCOLATE MINI, WHO BELONGS TO JESSICA, AND SHE RUNS THE DESIGN ROOM. THEN THERE IS KONA BERGER. HE IS A HALF BROTHER OF ZAYLIE'S, AND IS ALSO A CHOCOLATE MINI. KONA AND I PLAY BALL TOGETHER, BUT HE IS A LITTLE YOUNG SO THERE'S LOTS OF BIG BROTHERING IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. HE BELONGS TO MEREDITH IN WHOLESALE SALES AND HE HAS HER RUNNING!! DID I SAY CALL THE DOG WHISPERER? THEN THERE IS CHEECHO, HIS NAME WAS SPIKE, BUT ELENA, A SWIMWEAR SAMPLE MAKER IN THE DESIGN ROOM, ADOPTED HIM, CHANGED HIS NAME, AND HE HAS TAKEN ON KIND OF A ROCKY BODY TYPE. HE IS A NICE GUY... I HAVE TO KEEP HIM IN LINE, SINCE YES, I AM THE PACK LEADER.

I LIKE THE RESPONSIBILITY, AND IT IS ONLY NATURAL, SINCE I HAVE BEEN HERE A GOOD 4 YEARS, AND KNOW MORE THAN THEY DO. WE HAVE SOMETHING IN COMMON. WE ARE ALL FROM THE SAME BREEDER. NORMA KEEPS SAYING THEY HAVE THE BEST DACHSHUNDS SHE HAS EVER SEEN. FROM WHAT I HEAR IN THE 197O'S SOMEONE LEFT PENNY, HER FIRST MINI, IN THE SHOP AND NEVER CAME BACK FOR HER. THEN CAME FRITZY, FRANKIE, ERNIE, VERONICA, LOLA, ROXANNE, LOUIE, BARNEY AND ZIGGY.. AND NOW ME!!

WE ALL COME TO WORK EVERYDAY. IN FACT, WE HAVE CARRY BAGS THAT ALLOW US INTO THE SUBWAYS, BUSES, CARS AND RESTAURANTS...WE GO EVERYWHERE. I SIT THROUGH MANY MOVIES AND NO ONE EVER KNOWS I AM THERE. I JUST SAW THE LAST EMPEROR, AND OK, SO VALENTINO HAS PUGS, AND IT LOOKS LIKE THEY TRAVEL A LOT, BUT I CAN BET THEY NEVER TOOK A WALK THROUGH CENTRAL PARK, AND IF YOU HAVEN'T, WELL YOU JUST ARE MISSING OUT. I'M OFFICIALLY INVITING THEM THE NEXT TIME THEY ARE IN NEW YORK.

OK GOT TO GO, WE ARE HAVING A FITTING FOR THE WALMART COLLECTION. I AM ALWAYS IN THE FITTINGS ... YOU KNOW TO KEEP IT REAL!!
