Nah it couldn't be.....could it?

So when we market a dress we often talk about what it reminds you of. For example when we made the flowing Anna Lucia belted shirt dress we said it reminded you of "I Love Lucy" especially when we made it in polka dots.

One of the shows we often cite is AMC's "Mad Men." Many of our dresses are reminiscent of the look of the sixties. Sometimes we see a dress and get an inspiration as to a design to work off of to create a new style.

So imagine our surprise when we saw what Joan Holloway was wearing in the episode this past Sunday. She was wearing our "Rosemarie Ruffle Dress!" HOLY CRAP! Did the costume designer for the show rip off one of our dresses?

Lately a couple of other plus designers have ripped off some of our designs and we know that several costume designers follow us on twitter and Facebook. So it is very conceivable that they adapted one of our original designs to use on the show. That's fashion for you. Everybody rips everybody off.

Life imitating Art. Or Art imitating Life. Or something.





This is our dress.

    It may the highest form of flattery, but a check would be nicer.

    You should file design patents pro se.

    Design patents don't cut it. They change it enough to skip by and there is nothing you can do.

    In fact the only thing you can do is make new stuff and be ahead of the curve.

    You ain't going to get anywhere copying other peoples work.

    The nuns taught me that!

    How about a window display that says, "As seen on Mad Men"?

    That's an excellent idea, Chip! Troop should do that, seriously. It would offer a chance to talk about the dress in a flattering way and provoke exchange of idea.

    That is pretty cool, a Joan Mad Men spot would be a pretty awesome endorsement.

    I went to Boylston tonight.

    Saw the four crosses, the running shoes, flowers, B baseball hats, the message boards.

    The streets were packed with fab peeps.

    I cried.

    Then a tourist from Bulgaria blew me. I felt better...briefly.

    Take care,
    thanks.

    tits.

    The Bulgarian tourist said to me while taking my entire hog in his mouth and looking up at me...."Zi Sike Yous".

    Kathy Griffin's voice, I think.

    The paragraph with the phrase "c__t p__t" is one possibility. But your wife might c__k p__ch you if she hears it.
