So I’m in love… with a fragrance! HappySlip fragrance by the name of “Love at First Sight”. I thought it would be fabulous to poke fun at the whole idea of gaining “fragrance status”. Once a celebrity hits the big, humongoid time - they seem to all of sudden come out with a “fragrance”. The only time I really cared about coming up with my own fragrance, is when the Barbie Perfume Factory wasn’t to be mine. When coming up with a name for HappySlip’s new scent, I thought - “Well, what better name to use than the name of Josh Verdes‘ cool new song. You need to check out Josh’s myspace. There are some awesome songs you can download from there! You’ll be glad to know that I used a little toy cowbell from Chick-Fil-A as my HappySlip bottle. I was going to curl my hair and go all out for the perfume commercial look - but I was lazy and in a hurry to record. Turned out better for the fan blown look anyway. I was originally going to have my mom’s character barge in on me, but thought better of it. “O Kissten…. whatchoodoing?!!” is totally what my dad would say. My eyes were drying out with that wind in my face hahaha, and I was getting cold. Since posting this video this morning, a couple of people have told me that they ACTUALLY called the 1-800-HappySlip number!! One says it’s a drycleaners, another says it’s a Live Chat Line –eeeeesh!!! I should’ve thought better than to post a number on there that I may not want to be associated with. oooops

My ultimate dream.

YAY!!!! Wow, I can’t believe this new site that is LIVE now. First, my too good to be true friend (who won’t allow his name to be mentioned) designed the new look for the website. I didn’t even ask him to do it. I just had my ugly, lame, pre-designed site up which was annoying him to no end. Every obvious rule of design - I had violated. Bad colors, mixed fonts, larger than life adsense ads… I had one ugly site. At the time, I thought it looked fine, until my friend was rolling on the floor laughing at all of my mistakes. His stomach probably hurt from all the guffawing. Next thing you know he designed the most happy of happyslips. WOW, I realize that I don’t have an eye for good web design at all. So he took my idea of “fun ice cream colors” and spun it into a miracle. He is so particular, so attentive to detail, and completely uncompromising in his quest for quality. Thank you for your perfectionism, and how you push me towards my potential. I can’t thank you enough.

After you have a wonderful design like this, you need a coder, or developer, or another miracle worker to make it come alive. Enter in Stephen Craton of Wired Programming. Super fast, super professional, super kind, super man. I am fully aware that I could never even begin to think of what these two are such pros at. Their minds are geared for this kinda stuff. They were created to understand such a complex level of computer language - that one thought of it makes me dizzy. I wanna throw up- they’re too smart. Last night they were up late coordinating with each other in order to make this site LIVE. Stephen had to work around the limitations of the server - and I was cringing because I thought that it was going to be too much trouble, and take too much time from them. They both went above and beyond anything I could even imagine. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I’m grateful beyond what words can say.
