I met Burag and Shant, the founders of the high end mens shirts a couple months ago and fell in love with them AND their stuff!! These guys are both completely down to earth guys and fun to talk to, which in my eyes goes a long way in this whole industry. I completely support them and their fashion. They have been doing events all around Southern California and are continuing to work hard with many more events coming soon.

Currently there are 9 "katz" in the collection (picture above) and they make wonderful gifts. Each figurine comes with its own collectible card and has a little profile, including birthday and weight (cute!). On the card you will read a quote that each one comes with and they are just clever and unique! I met Ken Wong, the creator and designer of these contemporary masterpieces and he is the sweetest person! I have come across his stuff at the art walks in downtown and each time fall in love with them more and more. </span></span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Inside the photo album are pictures from everywhere these little "katz" have traveled, submitted by fans. They have taken pictures in London, all across the U.S., sports events, and they've even made it to Dodger games (Go Blue!)! I'm hoping that there will be one that goes to the World Cup, otherwise I am just going to have to find a way to snap that picture myself! Anyway, before I lose track here, I find that this collection would make a beautiful display in any and every home! The lines and curves of these pieces are SO clean and smooth, I really have never seen any other cat figurine I have loved as much as I do <b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;">love</span></b> these "katz". In fact, I have NEVER seen a cat figurine I like... so Ken Wong- thank you for your artwork! :) </span></span></div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Take a moment and check out the main </span></span><a href="http://www.kitschykatz.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">website</span></span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"> and maybe you will be tempted to start your own little Kitschy Katz family!

After speaking with Jessica about which ones are best for what, I (having an annoying oily issue) went for the tea tree... after two weeks, stuff is magic! Im not preaching b.s. here, I really mean it. I have gone through other soaps that were supposedly the "right" product, but nothing has cleared up my face and kept it so healthy and smooth like di Palermo Body! My cousins also bought some of her items and as far as I know, they are LOVING it too! This is what they have to say:</span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Besides the fact that it works (and it lasts), Jessica has such an awesome line up of wonderfully yummy scents too! Nothing that is over powering and pasty like the Bath & Body (crap) in the malls... plus, her stuff is not expensive! So for all of us who like to save a buck or two, this is definitely the RIGHT stuff to buy! She even carries little facial scrubs and other accessories to go with it. The bars are not little bars either, they are a good stocky heavy duty size! So just a thought- this would be a GREAT gift for fathers day! I'm just sayin' ;)</span></span><br />

At that time, they both were designers and had phenomenal pieces ranging from hair accessories, to dresses, to scarves and even jewelry. During that trip, my uncle sat down with me and we worked on a little "project" he gave me. He taught me how to work with beads and I was immediately on my way to creating my first work of art- a swarovski crystal and silver beaded lariat necklace. I remember my uncle telling me that I was making the piece for a collection he was going to be selling but when I was finally done with the necklace, he surprised me and let me keep it. To this moment, I still have that necklace and I still use it for all my special events. Now, 13 years later I am sharing the detailed bead work designs with the world. </span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmLzTZahFSpY0XxC_pwAr1eKPK9IbmUbQVGc0kSa3AyxSazgPAasx-54ByKuEG1kOQh57rWrnjdYO1TGO_s28K2vyLsyhUjV0AIxlC88L_S8HJyd6iI-Rd4bpuqACE2O6gJ8pfGJ41Xs/s1600/IMG_3266.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYmLzTZahFSpY0XxC_pwAr1eKPK9IbmUbQVGc0kSa3AyxSazgPAasx-54ByKuEG1kOQh57rWrnjdYO1TGO_s28K2vyLsyhUjV0AIxlC88L_S8HJyd6iI-Rd4bpuqACE2O6gJ8pfGJ41Xs/s320/IMG_3266.JPG" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Growing up, my parents always encouraged me to be creative, but it wasn't really until my uncle sat me down to teach me how to make something out of a mess of beads and beautiful crystals that I realized, I had some kind of gift. So a huge thank you to my amazing aunt and uncle (my New York mom and dad) for ALL of the support and encouragement you've given me. </span></span></div><div><br />

Secondly, I (and the family) are major dog lovers. At the moment we have 5 dogs; 3 chihuahuas and 2 labradors. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">As for the logo, it is an uber amazing piece of art made by Darcy R.

I found myself missing my dogs while I was at work being fed TO the dogs and truly not enjoying the political b.s. that was going on everywhere. After 4 years of working hard I found myself being told I was getting laid off so I decided it is time to be my own boss and take control of my schedule, my life and truly enjoy what I do, not what others tell me to do. I have two kids I can now enjoy daily; my two 2 year old labrador retreivers, Bosco & Mia. </span></span></div></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">One afternoon, after spending the day on careerbuilder and job searches, I was browsing online trying to find a fun and unique collar for Mia, not having ANY luck. I remembered I had a vintage black Brighton co. leather belt in my room and decided I would try to make that into a collar. I started working on it and adding beautiful swarovski crystals to it, finally turning this old belt that didn't fit me (not even if my life depended on it) into her beautiful new collar (the purple one in the picture below). </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">(you can check out more pictures of the others at <a href="http://www.herrdoghouse.etsy.com/">the online shop</a> or on my <a href="http://www.facebook.com/herrdoghouse">facebook page</a>)</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">After a couple of days of creating different collars of different vintage leather belts for Mia, mom asked me to make her an eyeglass necklace and pretty soon, one thing led to another and women's jewelry got thrown into the mix. The point? Herrdoghouse was created! </span></span></div><div><br />
