Indie Craft Bazaar Pics and Video!

Hey everyone!

The Indie Craft Bazaar on Sunday was AWESOME!! I sold a ton of things and met so many great people, it was definitely a day to remember. ^_^ I've got some pics and video to share with you guys so you can see Meow Kiki in action and HOPEFULLY come to one of my next events! Here's what I've got:

A pic of me from New Times Broward Palm Beach Newspaper! You can see the rest of their pictures here: http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/slideshow/indie-craft-bazaar-1250204/



My Meow Kiki setup:







Excuse the hamper under my table! haha. It's hiding extra clothing that I kept pulling out everytime something sold. Women were coming back and saying "You put out new stuff, didn't you?", "What else are you hiding under there?" was another popular question. lol :)




Now best of all video of myself and some new customers/fans. It was great talking to everyone!! I almost lost my voice, that's how awesome it was. ^_^







And the friends I made that day!

Nikki from http://www.etsy.com/shop/cutensweetcafe She's wearing her new Meow Kiki necklace! We traded, I got a lollipop necklace and a yellow cupcake ring from her shop!







http://www.etsy.com/shop/richchick Carolina sells the nicest bags of every kind. I traded her a lightning bolt necklace and got a sunglasses bag and a cupcake eye mask for my zzZzzz time. ;)




This is Robert, he's obviously an amazing artist! He also told me some informative info about working at the Renaissance Fair, so you might even see me there next time.




This is Mindy and Lola, cutest baby gear EVER!!! http://www.etsy.com/shop/mindyandlola




This was the tarot card reader, she BANKED! I wanted to get mine read, but I already know how to read my own so I figured I'd save my money. lol




Those are just a few pics from the show, the show was massive! I'm also doing a show this Saturday at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino! More details here!!

Until next time!

Upcoming Events!

Hi everyone!!

Ok so I've got a lot going on... first of all, like I said before in my last post I was going to stop taking custom orders and now I have. It's been really great making everyone's custom orders for the past 2 years I've been doing it! :) I hope those that took advantage thoroughly enjoyed everything we've collaborated on. I'm still taking limited edition custom orders for things in my shop that say "CUSTOM Your Size". Those are the items where you pick your size and I make it. They can't be customized in any way other than the options given. I've already made these patterns in different sizes so simply pick and I will create. It's much easier for me and less time consuming all around. ;)

Now that that's out of the way I've got some events coming up!! Here they are in order:

October 17, 2010 - Indie Craft Bazaar 1-7pm

News + New Clothing!

Hey everyone, I've posted TONS of new things on Etsy! I have one more thing to post, a bracelet... but I'm contemplating keeping it at the moment. I know I know, I made it to sell but I love it so much, hm, I'll just have to keep thinking about it! ;)

Check out the new stuff and make sure to buy some! Without purchases I can not make more things. :P

I've also been working on my website. My awesome brother made my current one and it's been so awesome to me!! But I've outgrown it and it was pretty much made for a shopping cart that I no longer use so time for a new one. Here's a sneak peak of what I've made so far:



In other news, Meow Kiki will be CHANGING! For the better of course.

In the past I've played with my prices, played with the detail of my clothing, asked myself questions like "More clothes, cheaper prices? Less clothes, more detail, higher prices?" Ok so this is the new thing and it's something I can live with, and it's something that's not going to change. Meow Kiki items will be all couture. Everything will be very unique, detailed and higher end. In the past I've always wanted to cater to the masses but unfortunately I'm a one woman show and over-working myself to the point of being sick and exhausted has taken it's toll on me. I would rather not be a one woman sweatshop, hopefully everyone can understand. I've been doing it for 6 years now and more items, cheaper prices doesn't get much recognition. Like I said, from now on everything will be extremely unique. Less custom orders will be taken, so if you'd like something, now would be a good time to order it.

I'll also be transferring all clothing from MK Deconstructed over to Meow Kiki. I gave it a shot, but there's just way more traffic at Meow Kiki than there will ever be at MK Deconstructed.

I'm also working on a line of limited edition Gothic & Lolita Clothing. Yes, like the stuff you wear in Japan! These items will be offered in a variety of sizes, limited quantities, no custom orders.

I've also got some more great things in store, but I have to keep some secrets to myself! I really have a big mouth, so I should stop now. ;)

I'm very very excited about this change and I hope you are too!

Thanks so much to everyone that supports Meow Kiki, without you it wouldn't exist!

I hope everyone has a fantastic labor day weekend, have fun! ^^

Fashion Show Pics & Video!

Hey everyone! As you may already know, I had a fashion show in Miami on August 12th! It was grrrrrreat! It was my second fashion show ever and everything went awesome. Of course some models didn't show up, as usual, but GES models had me covered. Due to this, I had to cut out some of my clothing pieces but otherwise everything went down according to plan.

The show was at Kitchen 305 (Newport Hotel) in Miami. The vibe of the venue was amazing and the hotel was freaking HOT! By hot I mean, whoa, words can't describe. Maybe exquisite and expensive works. haha. Sooooo many people showed up, I don't even know how many people were there but there was tons. I met soooo many amazing people and learned even more about fashion shows. I tend to jump into things and learn as I go along. I also did a shoot the Sunday after the show for GES Models 2011 Calendar. So 3 of my pieces will be featured in there, I'll post where you can buy it when it comes out. It's sexy hot hot hot, if there's one word to describe GES Models it's definitely sexy. I have a behind the scenes video clip of that shoot, I'll be posting it soon!

My boyfriend Kris was kind enough to take video of the fashion show for me as well! I didn't ask him to, but I guess my Mom told him to so he did and I am soooo thankful because pictures just don't do fashion shows justice! I put the whole show up raw and un-edited because why destroy it with effects and garbage people don't care about? lol. Here's the video! Please comment or like it! If you don't like it... well.. go away. haha.



So the theme of my fashion show was chaos. When I started designing for the show I had just moved into a new place and everything was chaotic. My fabrics are all over the place and that's what my life has been like the past 2 months. I had ordered fabric for the show that never got here, it actually got sent back to the seller, lol, perfect right? But that's life and I already have tons of fabric anyway. I used my favorites, my customers favorites and went to work. I also made jewelry for the show, something I didn't do last time. All necklaces since that's my favorite type of accessory. I made things a bit "girly" of course and wanted to make things not so avant garde that people could rarely wear it, I wanted to make wearable things that women can wear anywhere and feel confident. So, I hope you like what I did! Some pictures from the show are on my facebook page, feel free to like and comment those as well. ;) It's always important for me to know what my customers and fans like and want more of.

Oh, and at the top is a picture of me coming out at the end. If you know me, I don't like pictures. I asked specifically if I could not walk all the way out so I'm really glad I didn't have that many pictures of me. haha!

Check back for the behind the scenes photoshoot clip! All clothing and accessories from the show will be available for purchase on: www.meowkikiclothing.etsy.com

Until next time! xo Heather
