Nike and the NFL

Nike became the official makers of NFL gear on April 1 2012. I was there last fall when they did this whole presentaion for the shareholders and what not and got the inside dish that they were going to be the new makers of NFL gear, but it was all hush, hush until they made the official anouncement and did a complete unvieling of the new NFL uniforms on April 3. This was the Brooklyn job I left  to go see Oprah! It was at Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy yard. I didn't even know they had studios in Brooklyn. Eh, now I know!

The picture is blurry because I was doing this on the sly and my camera would not behave and take a clear picture at that moment, but from left to right are:

Jason Witten #82 of the Dallas Cowboys, Kameron Chancellor #31 of the Seattle Seahawks( and sporting the best and favorite new team uniform!), LaGarrette Blount #27 of the Tampa Bay Buckaneers.

Kameron Chancellor taking a nap.

The Seahawks gloves and helmet.

The cool gloves of the Seahawks...

the Redskins....

and the Cowboys.

Redskins and Dallas helmets.

The helmet of my favorite team, the Miami Dolphins because I love Dan Marino!

 The notorious Michael Vick of the Philadelphia Eagles. He got the same reaction from everyone I worked with who saw him in person, he looks good on tv, but eh, in person. Go figure *Kanye shrug*

 Miachel Vick again. This was  during the player interviews. In the background are 32 mannequins of all the NFL teams that I helped to dress and set up the day before! I would love to have two of those mannequins standing by my front door!

The player I assited in getting his gear on, Brian Orakpo #98 of the Washington Redskins. Nice guy! Big a** arms, OMG! He almost elbowed me in  the eye, but I ducked when I saw it coming. He aplogized for almost knocking me out, lol.

Cortland Finnegan #81 of the St. Louis Rams who had just been traded from the Tennessee Titans.

Me and Kameron Chancellor of the Seahawks. I only come up to his shoulder and I am 5'7" when I stand up straight! It was his birthday, he is 24! And he smelled good, said he was wearing Creed. Seattle's uniform was voted the favorite by eveyone there and even other players liked this uniform. I was told Seattle took all the high-techoptions Nike offered. Kameron told us theat the design down the side of the pants and around the neck of the shirt are twelve feathers of the fans, what fans I have no idea, but the uniform was rockin'! Kameron said it, the shirt was tight, lol! I found out that's so when they are playing, other players can't get a grip of thier jersey. 

Jason Witten of Dallas, I didn't get a picture with, but he was very polite, kept saying "thankyou" and "I appreciate it" even though I didn't really do much, but I liked he said it.

One of the players I am going to call out for his "stankness"! Larry Fitzgerald #11 of the Cardinals told a  girl no when she asked for his picture. I thiught I was hearing things as he was posing for a picture for Cortland Finnegan to take on his phone. The girl, my co-worker that day, confirmed  he did indeed  say  no to having his picture taken. Ungraciouss BASTARD!

Wes Welker of the Patriots is a shorty rock and looked kinda dirty beacuse of his scraggly facial hair, but he had pretty blue eyes.

Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers was rather jovia and upbeat even at the early hour we were workingl. One of my co-workers who was at the fittings the day before said he, BR, had everyone laughing.

Anyway....Got all the cool info to share with the bar crowd this coming season. I can not wait!!!

 That was a very early morning after five days of early mornings and lots of work, so no make-up for me. At that point I really didn't are I was so tired, but it was cool meeting the players. I wasn't able to get pictures from last fall, but this is so much better!

Oprah's Lifeclass at Radio City Music Hall!

I got an email back in March from Oprah.com about her upcoming Lifeclass here in New York on April2, so I sent in my info hoping to score some tickets, but alas, I got a return email that said I had not been chosen for the tickets. I go on about my business and one month later I get another email that said more seats had just becaome available for Oprah's Lifeclass and I had been randomly selcted!!!!!!!! This was one week before the clas!!! I did a booty dance and stood in the cold and rain to get my tickets!

This was like getting the golden ticket to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory only better!

This is outside of Radio City Music Hall after the Lifeclass

Inside the lifeclass. It was a live show and streaming on the internet so we could take pictures and tweet if you had smartphones, iphones or ipads! I had none of those so I just tooke all these pictures with my always present digital camera!

Some of the audience being seated before the class/show.

Me!I pretty much ran from a job I was doing in Brooklyn to get to Radio City in time, so I look a little wilted. I could not believe that my tickets were in the Orchestra section and not up on the mezzanine like the email stated!  Law of attraction at work big time for me!

Special guest Tony Robbins warming up the audeince before it went live!

 Tony Robbins is so inspiring! I saw him speak for thirty minutes at  Learning Annex even hear in NYC in 2007 and said whenever I have the money, I will attend one of his weekend seminars. He got me that pump in just thirty minutes! Oprah and Gayle did his seminar so I'm definately doing it now!

This blurry picture is of Oprah's best friend, Gayle King. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get my camera to cooperate and take aclear picture. I will tell you she looked really good in this hot pink dress.

This is one shot of the the audience, up in the balcony filled to capacity!

Ahhhhhhhh! OPRAH!!!!

Oprah spoke to the audience about Lifeclass and her challenges with building her network.

 This is Tony and Oprah during a commercial break. The guy on the far right is Oprah's long time producer Dean.

Tony, one of the guests and Oprah during one of the class/show segments.

The screen with some of the people who skyped in. There was a women from Australia, another from Russia, and a guy from England who all were up very late(very early for the Aussie!) to skype in and talk with Oprah and Tony. I would have stayed up late or gotten up early too! How often do you ge the opportunity to do something like this?!

 Oprah, what can I say! I love her! She is inspirational ! And she is quite funny too. She would talk to the audience between segments and make comments. She gave away the shoes she was wearing, size10 1/2, to someone in the front rows. I would have ran up there for those shoes if I could have.LOL! I'm a size 10.

I have been inspired and uplifted since this experience, not so much because of going, but because of the letting go and allowing it to come to me. I finally paid enough attention to realize what Abraham-Hicks has been saying all along...that when you believe and know and are avibrational match to what you want, you relax, let  go and know that it must come to you. It has happened enough for me to know it is true. My purpose after this experience has been to relax, let go and allow the manifestations of all I want to come to me and stop making myself crazy, blocking my good with false limiting thoughts. When I do have some limiting thoughts, I remember this Oprah experience and know that so is possible!

Happy Easter!

Eat well and have a blessed day!

Eye Candy!

This months eye candy is Nathan Owens. Enjoy!

Eye Candy

Oh my dear lord! I forgot about the man candy for this month aand it's almost over. So, to fill the next couple of week until the next month with...a nekkid David Gandy!

Michael Kors

Good lord! I meant to have this post up much sooner, but you know how it is when you have a funky wifi connection and lots of picture to upload.

Anyway....

I wasn't able to get all the pictures I wanted for this show from style.com. It could have been my wifi connection interference, but whatever...I'll add the pics I want later when I find them. I was a floater at this show. I didn't dress any of the models. I helped other dresseres when they needed assistance.
Overall, this was a wearable collection as Michael Kors  always is, but I  do find that he does the same things season after season. Same style, different  color or fabric, nothing very new. When I'm able to download the picture I will show you. I noticed a look in this show that he did a couple of seasons back only in a different color. I know it is challenging coming up with new ideas each season, but at least if your going to repeat something, space it out enough so no one will notice right off!
