Back in Business...Cards to Replace the Post-its

Yes, you read that right. Back in the day, when all I had was one bottle of foundation (you'd be surprised at how far a neutral shade can go) and a janky blowdrier for cooling the Shelaq off bridesmaids' eyelids, I used to scribble my email address on post-its. Okay, well since the gloves are off, what the hey, right? Post-its, the back of old receipts, the back of other makeup artists' business cards (in retrospect, I can see how that one might have backfired)...heck sometimes I would sometimes jet without leaving anything in my wake save dirty used Q-tips. Weddings are I-N-S-A-N-I-T-Y. City hall, anyone? That Carrie Bradshaw is one smart cookie I gotta say.

It's a rough gig when your credit is crap in this country (I recently learned that CHECKING your credit score actually lowers it...WTF?!) and your 1st generation Korean-American parents give you the cold shoulder - i.e. no financial love - for consciously deciding to forgo medical school (2nd generation Asian-Ams who chose to stay sane unite!). Well, you don't get emotional support either but that doesn't change no matter how high your GPA is (I don't need to insert a disclaimer here that I love my parents dearly, now do I?)

Oh the joys of starting your own business. Your day job can often suck the very life out of you because you're literally trying to make ends meet whilst the moonlight wanes on your second career. Hence the shamefully belated update.

Luckily, with the faithful support of talented friends (most of whom are artists in their own right...some with so much indie cred you probably won't even be able to google them yet...ha! Take that Big Brother-net), you find that Gloria Gaynor was right: You will survive (yeah I thought it was Aretha Franklin too).

Once my amazing artist friend unveils her designs in all their glory, you can smugly say that you read it here first. :) Until then, check out the newly-updated Galleries link with some fun new makeover pics - my lovely friend Janalyn! Enjoy!
