Thanks Austin (Though Not So Much the 'Chronicle')
RECEIVED Tue., Oct. 17, 2006
Dear Editor,
To my surprise and delight, I opened the “Best of Austin” issue [Oct. 13] of the Chronicle last Thursday to find out I had been voted best Clothing Designer in the Readers Poll! This so unexpected, I was not even aware that the category existed. I just want to sincerely thank all the people out there, friends or not, who voted for me. It is such a testament to how much you can accomplish if you have the love and support of your community, the desire to create high-quality, yet accessible, products and put all of your energy into something that you really want to do.
So, thank you Austin! I love you, too!

P.S. p.s. To Austin Chronicle: I would have totally come to the reception last Wednesday night, but I was not notified about my win or invited to the party. Thanks to whoever wrote my blurb – you very aptly described my work.
