This never gets old...

So last week I was closing up for the day...I'd just put on my Sade album, Soldier of Love, which is very relevant to me at this point in my life, since I am in the middle of a separation, after 11 years of marriage...yes, I married VERY early, which I don't recommend. LOL...

The Posh.Life line rang, as I was settling into my relaxation mode...and I thought, "I'd better get that..." And then there was a strangely familiar voice on the other end...although I wasn't immediately sure why. Turns out it was one of my childhood/adolescent idols!! Ms. Tionne Watkins, better known as T-Boz, of TLC. If you grew up in the late 80's, early 90's like I did (telling my age, I know), then you know what that must've felt like. I am rarely starstruck. I've had the pleasure...and displeasure in some cases (LOL)...of meeting many celebrities. However, there are those occassions that you meet your personal style icons, or they were the group of your generation, and you get that little feeling in the pit of your stomach. I thought, ok Tori, don't act like a crazed fan. You've done this before, you can do this...LOL! To my delight, Ms. Tionne was kind, humble, and absolutely fabulous to talk to! She was so very sweet...and the best part is that she Loved some of my personal collections. One thing you all may not know...I normally create collections off the top of my head. I'll be sitting at my desk, and just start making something up. So when I hear one of you tell me that you just love my collections...it really feels amazing, because I simply make what I like! So for Ms. Tionne to order not one, but several of my designs...I actually go back to a moment as a yound girl, watching the making of the "Waterfalls" video...or remembering singing "Ain't Too Proud To Beg"...and I feel like a Rockstar! Even if only for a moment...It's my moment. I hope that every one of you experiences this in your lives. Because it is those moments that let me know that all I experience in life, good or bad, is relevant. All the time and effort you put into what you do, and what you love, and going after your own personal goals will pay off in the end. And for me, one of thosse moments was in a phonecall from one of my idols...that's hot!! TTFN!

New favorite!

Here's a new cover designed today that I absolutely ADORE! Ordered by Vanessa, from the UK...Her instructions were to write the word GLAM, and do whatever to the background, just make it fabulous. And fabulous, it is! I LOVED the end result. I wish the photos could've really captured how Stunning this cover is, but I just had to share! Sometimes, the best ideas are the ones that are truly the simplest...TTFN...
