Homecoming!


I'm on my way and will have some new posts ASAP! Yippee!

I'm in the airport lounge right now, waiting for my flight so I don't have time for a REAL post- but I want to tell you guys about an exciting new partnership for my company... we're going to be working with UES. You guys have to check them out- it's like, the only way you'll get me into a sneaker besides plain ol Chucks or some sweet Dunks. 


Anyway, I'll write more about it later. I'm so excited to get home and get working on my new SECRET project. hehe.

Talk to you all soon!!

I'm Alive and Well.

Thank you guys for your concern. You're all so sweet. 

Everything turned out OK for now and our "people" tell us not to worry. They're going to negotiate or something. 
It was pretty scary for a second but by the end of the day people were joking about it and saying stuff like "Give them the blondes!" and "Tell them the boss's daughter is staying in room 1041 at the Hyatt."

I mean, you gotta laugh, right?

On a sad note, my iPod died unexpectedly and I can't figure out why. I tried to reset it but it's just totally flatlined. It is in between my legs at the moment. I'm not sure why but I thought that maybe if I warmed it up a bit and gave it a peep show it may wake up. 
That is of course assuming it is male... or a lesbian. 


Also, my legs have become an all you can eat buffet for Chinese mosquitos. Awesome. I heart China.

Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Office...


So I have to tell you this because it's straight out of a movie and at least if I make light of it, I can maybe feel a little less scared about the whole situation.

So I guess there was a dispute amongst a few shoe factories that we work with and somehow there was a miscommunication or something and someone thought we owed them money while we thought we payed it... anyway- we get to the office this morning and a few hours later there's a big commotion and a big group of tough looking Chinese dudes with shaved heads show up.

Apparently we were visited by the mafia this morning. NO JOKE. So my dad (the owner of our company) and the Taiwanese guy that runs our Chinese office had a little sit down with them.

Um ya. 

So they've been down there all morning and Joanne (my American co-worker) and I are stuck up here scared shitless. I mean, seriously.

The police just showed up about 20 minutes ago. Apparently the police and the mafia do negotiations? 

...Just another day in China I guess.

And PS- when I google search "Chinese Mafia" for images, my internet shuts down. Veeeeerrrry fishy. So sorry for the crappy image.

IM IN CHINA!!!


Sorry for the lack of posts- I've been getting ready for/on my way to China. It's my first day in the office so I have internet access. I'll be posting a real post soon, I promise. ;) I have some pretty exciting news!

For now... here's my beautiful office view. My friend Jolie says it looks like Irvine. HAHAHAHA
