"Rudy's Reed" (A MESSAGE FROM YOUR SITES CREATOR...)

Hey guys.. its me checking in... these past couple of months have been busy ones, but then again, nobody every said trying to build a one man corporation would be easy.  

I am closing in on the dates of some upcoming shoots for you guys and because of that, I don't want to give to much away.  I guess I am speaking to the newcomers to the site, because I have already mentioned a few of them in previous posts (feel free to backtrack.. which you should be doing anyways.).  Aside from shooting, I have been doing more shows at the Apparel Mart(Americas Mart) here in Atlanta.  The place is massive!!!  I have been trying to stay surrounded by the walls of the showroom I'm actually employed by, but being the fashion freak I am, I knew this wasn't going to last long.  Not to mention, the showroom I work in caters mostly to women, and these upcoming projects I have approaching involves men.  

Aside from that, I have been trying to rebuild my stylist closet back up.  After September 11th occurred in NYC, I left so much behind.  So much behind, I broke my lease and left the stuff in the apartment.  What a treat those people got... Anyways, I have managed to build up an amazing jewelry collection, and have added a great deal of key pieces back into my work.  But now I am on the fence on whether or not I should keep them or sell them to my clients after the have been photographed.  WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK??? 

On a heavier note, this past show showcased an AIDS tapestry quilt dedicated to love ones we have lost. The quilt has some of the biggest designers in the industry leave token of their affection on it.  Some of them include Donna Karan, Mugler, and Halston.  This past month alone, I have lost two talent friends of mine due to various illnesses.  People, it is very important to let those dear to us know just how special they are.  We never know how how much time we have with them.
