In these tough economic times parents are falling on hard times. GlamGirl PR will be collecting school supplies from February 1, 2011-August 15, 2011 for the back to school drive. This year we would like to be able to help families in need with uniforms, shoes and school supplies. We would like for everyone to please give a monetary gift in the form of a money order or a check (made out to Evans and Davis Enterprises), or you can simply send your school supplies to the address below. Monetary donations can be as little as $5 and as high as you would like. We encourage everyone to help out in whatever way they can. (That pack of pencils will go a long way). If you would like to send new school uniforms, you can choose from the following selection.

Yellow Uniform shirts (Any size)

The Fabulous Quintina Johnson


Today's blog is about my client, the fabulous Mrs. Quintina Johnson. She was set to debut her 2011 Spring/Summer Collection at Maryland Fashion Week yesterday in Bowie, MD. There are several things that happened in the course of this week. The Quincy Tae'Lor fashion line is for woman sizes 8-14. There were not enough models to fit her clothing so she could only present 6 looks. She sucked it up and said okay, but since she had such a small line she should have been placed in the middle of the show. She was the finale. Ok. All of her models walked the designer before her at the end of her show and so there was not enough time to change into her looks. When the fabulous commentator announced her to begin her show as soon as the last model from the previous designer walked off the stage, he said "Ladies and Gentlemen, please put your hands together for Ms. TJ Quincy."
Tenne and I were floored, did he just call my client "TJ Quincy". Okay, so model one comes out, model two, and then model three and then..... (crickets) no model, 30 seconds passed, no model, another 30 seconds passed, no model, no designer and then all the models do their final walk on the catwalk. WTF just happened???
Mrs Johnson just packed up her fabulous fashion line, went to the parking lot where I met up with her, and the look in her eyes said it all. I was like, "what was happening in the back?" She said, "I couldn't hear anything, and then all of the models just scattered. I was getting one dressed when the did the final model call."
Now as a publicist, I hate for something to go wrong at an event. But, when you mess up a persons hard work you should at least come to apologize. So, as we wait for that phone call from Tyresa Dyer at Maryland Fashion Week, we will humble ourselves, take the experience for what it was and move on. Good thing Mrs Johnson had a hard working publicist behind her that put gift bags with a lookbook video in it so that people could at least take the line home with them.
This business requires that we always have a plan B. Always be on your A game!!!
Love
