HI DENA...

Discovered your blog today. LOOOOOVE IT! This is what I'm trying to accomplish with my own style blog, FA'SHOE'NISTA! I hope to get to the full time freelance contributor as well. Have any pointers? Your writing is very good and I appreciate any help I can get. I just love Splendora and the plethora of women with which I have so much in common. If you have time, visit my blog and tell me what you think. Thanks!

It Figures!

Yeah it doesn't surprise me that Nicky didn't design it considering that I liked the collection, LOL. And yes there are very few Celebrity lines where they actually designed it. Which shows if any did you go to?

Sorry I am not one to ignore

Sorry I am not one to ignore messages. I just could not remember my user name. Apparently I am not used to my user name being my actual name. So I did get your message and now that I can log in I will make a profile.
