We made it to GQ!


Baby steps I tell you...

Everyday, do (at least) 1 thing that would bring you closer to your dream(s). For me, that was sliding in the DM's and sending messages and e-mails to celebrities and influencers.

HBO's Insecure is definitely the "it" show and you know who the "it girl" is? Yvonne Orji!

My sister is the one who told me about her as I had never seen the show, only heard of it. She thought that seeing as Yvonne was originally from Nigeria and had been seen sporting African prints, she would be a good fit for a Melapteh item. I checked out her Instagram and saw that she had worn pieces from designers I am actually friendly with so a part of me thought, oh gosh, she's probably already bombarded with this stuff...should I bother? Well this year is my "Shoot your shot" year and I am saying yes to everything (reasonable). I sent an e-mail to her assistant who told me she would show Yvonne my website and get back to me...this was in April. Well if you know anything about this business, getting back to you could be a matter of days, weeks, months or even years! I sent a follow up e-mail about 3 weeks later...and another step was made some weeks later! Yvonne loved my Back to Earth coat! Now all I had to do was ship it-which I did the same day! Then, another wait...

The assistant confirmed receipt-awesome! Hooray! Right? Yes and no... The worst wait was yet to come! When and where was she going to wear the jacket to?

I have started perfecting the game of patience- as a small business owner, you have no choice! Yvonne's assistant told me she would be wearing the jacket soon but over a month later, there was still no sign of it on her Instagram.

Then, as it is with the perfect timing of God, I get a notification from Instagram-Yvonne had tagged Melapteh...AND GQ! Could this mean...Yes! Yvonne had done a story for GQ a while back and was waiting for the article to go live because guess what? Out of all her beautiful and expensive designer clothes, all the clothes she could have selected via GQ's stylist, she chose my little 'ole jacket to wear for her spread with GQ! How amazing is that?

I encourage you all to have a little faith after you have put in the work, in due time, you shall reap the reward :)

    It contains four CDs totaling in 118-tracks including hits like Louie Louie and Wooly Bully.Punk, a movement from within rock that began in the mid-1970s, gradually became the music s oppositional wing, inspiring an audience that still looked to rock to behave as the antithesis of manufactured pop music.Maybe the vocals should have been auto-tuned And you would have bought it But sayin I no longer got it Cause you missed the line and never caught it Cause it went over your head, because you re too stupid to get it Cause you re mentally retarded, but pretend to be the smartest The Ringer.Irena s story became known to the world through the Life in a Jar project.Notice how the fact that the arrangement has grown a lot since it s youth on the first and second choruses is actually getting pushed back against by the the high RMS choice of the mastering engineer Most likely the choice of the label, or some sort of pressure expectation combo at work between label and mastering house So we have a last chorus that should sound HUGE because the production is set up to do so but if you needle drop between second and last chorus the difference and growth factor is much less than expected and much less than what it could be.
