What a day !!!

Well, the today's fashion shoot is behind us, what a day it was. Filled with energy and with emotion. Arturo, our photographer was awesome and all of the shirts looked great. I was really quite amazed at how well it went.

But the best part was the models, they were AMAZING!!! I really did not know what to expect, I actually had no preconcieved idea of how the models would look or work with the tee shirts. But maybe having no certain expectation was good. All of the models did such an amazing job, Ainsley, Thomas, Danny, Bianca, and Maggie. Oh... how they looked great. They were Americas next Top Models, and they don't even know it.

The day went fast and full, all of us played a role. I was interviewed and was probably the worst at it. I look awful in front of the camera. Boy did I pick a good time to grow out my hair. It was wacky most of the day. I usually keep my hair short and neat. But about 2 months ago, I decided to grow it out long. Not pony tail long ,but just long and fuller. I guess its that almost turning 49 thing. You know I don't want to grow up or ever grow old. But I know it will happen

Anyhow, my Laura was interviewed as were my Andy and my Maggie. By the way, Andrew and Maggie both amazed me today with their people skills and their ability to lead. Both are growing into incredible adults. Oh my Laura, I could not be here without her in so many ways.
She is, and always will be more than I ever deserved to have in life. I think God probably meant better for her, but I hope he or she doesn't change his or her mind.

Arturo was great, he worked with us so well. Guess how I found him -- my mother in law. My dear sweet mother in law. Arturo is married to a daughter of good friends of my in laws. My mother in law , Mama R. said "You have got to meet Arturo!" and boy am I glad she did.

The stylist for the day was Jonas and he too was very talented. He, along with Arturo, does a lot of work for Neimans and we were very lucky to have him, He took flat shirts and gave them life and depth and texture. The HL shirts showed very well with Jonas' touch.

The makeup artist Ray and the Stylist Melissa they were great as well.

Yes it was a long day but so much was accomplished. HL really came alive today and was born. Yea it was sort of like giving birth with lots of labor pains along the way.

I am more scared this evening than I was this morning. I am so unsure of what I am doing. I am risking a lot. But guess what --- I decided to do another photo shoot next week.
Yes, you read that right, again, otra vez, un vez mas. Yo no se porque, yo creo que estoy loco. Yo se que estoy loco. Pero tengo Fe y tengo mi famila y todos creamos que "Si Se Puede."

In other words -- I am crazy, but I still believe and all of my family believes that "Yes We Can"
I hope I know what I am doing. I guess I can change my mind, I will sleep on it.

You know Laura, told Rebecca and I a story this morning about how some people encounter walls and a person can either fall or break the wall or climb over the wall. We we still have a lot of climbing to do, but I am up for it.

By the way, our PR team Rebecca Rodriguez and Beth Henkel are amazing. They as so much are part of the HL team. They bring so much talent and energy. I am so lucky to have found them. I am trying to surround myself with people smarter than me, ( well that's everyone) but these two , Gracias a Dios.

Its been a full day, But boy has it been good one!

Hasta Luego
