Hi All,
It has been a minute since I last wrote but it is winter and the dykesinthecity like to chill out if you known what I mean. To bad I don't have anyone to nest with as of late. But that is a whole other blog. So our road trip to Boston started out a real treat with Filfy deciding she did not want to get out of bed the morning of our trip. And since we are like an old married couple (platonic of course), we got into a huge argument and we were off to a great start. It was freezing cold and snowing and I wanted to hit the road before all of the 90/94 ridiculous Chi-town traffic began. I let little Filfy sleep longer and drove to pick up Misty Winter, photographer extraordinaire and DJ Jive Alive. Eventually we were able to get Filfy in the car and we were off and running. We broke our trip up by heading to I-Town for the night. It was great to see my Ithaca family. We surprised Hannah on her 15th birthday and set up a little party with our I-Town friends. Kudos to Casekid and the Gray family for always being so awesome. And speaking of awesome, it was truly awesome-fest that my heat in the Silver Bullet decided to stop working on the way to Boston. We were able to recognize that the heat was still flowing out in the back seat area so at least we did not have to immediately go to the auto mechanic. We set on our way to Boston. After a long trip to Boston we geared up for the show. This was a great opportunity for us because this show is being covered by Curve Magazine for their 2008 style magazine issue. The focus will be on the collaborative efforts among Dyke Fashion, Hip Hop, and Drag. I am extremely excited to see how this article turns out. During the night ATKM performed drag, Filfy spit her rhymes in the hip hop arena, and the two groups became my models for the DITC Fashion show portion of the night. My old buddy Ann, an original dykeinthecity also helped out with my booth sales and made her debut as a DITC runway model. Totally awesome! So the crowd seemed to love the fashion show and that was very exciting to me. I presented our new Brass Knuckle ties (black, white, and red) and our new Fierce/Lioness Mini Skirts. These will be featured on our website as soon as we complete our next photo shoot. More featured clothing added to the site soon will be our new vintage vests and burnout tees with a fabulous new design called "Stiletto Mama." Look for those new clothing pieces to come out in our new DITC 1950's inspired 2008 spring line in addition to new dresses, hats, and accessories. DITC goes rockabilly this spring. It is going to be the hot hot!! Give us a few weeks to get the new pics up! Thanks for all of your support this year and happy holidays!
