gypsy island.

I’ve moved to gypsy island. with only the essentials… art & soul, a sewing machine, bikinis & beautiful lingerie.

AND… the BikiniShop is OPEN!

A lovely, WestCoast Life…

As you may have noticed, it’s been quite awhile since I have updated this site… there is MUCH going on in the life of the lady texan! Sooner rather than later, I will probably be deleting this page. But don’t worry, I am definitely NOT disappearing… a simple and wonderful transition onto bigger and better things.

For now… the best place to get the latest is my personal Facebook or the CurleeBikini Facebook Page! I am in the midst of building the Official CurleeBikini Website for online sales and the whole shabang!!!

Also, I have started a secondary business, HotMamaBodyShop.com… with my fabulous,new business partner, Lia Montelonogo! HotMamaBodyShop is the ultimate, online Motherhood Boutique… Inspiring every woman to embrace a balanced lifestyle of healthy food, fitness, fashion, and finance, for your family.

Much LOVE to all… Hope life is just as lovely all over the rest of the world!

Follow your dreams!!!

March & April 2010!

Hey to all my lovely people! I want to give everyone a little notice of CurleeLady’s momentary hiatus to the blogosphere for the remainder of March and into April… swimwear is finally in production at the CurleeBikini Studio and I have some major deadlines, which I am stressing upon myself to achieve!

There’s no guarantee that I will definitely be non-existant in this blogosphere for the next couple of months, but just know that if I don’t seem to be posting, twittering or facebook-ing as much as I  normally have been… it’s not because I don’t love ALL of you!  I simply need to make this fabulous swimwear line reality… and I can’t believe it’s already March!!! Wow, summer will be here before we all know it…

For the past year, I have been working very diligently to create the esthetic of CurleeBikini, the vision of the line with which I am inspired and projecting. The studio has been developed, the material has all been found and prepped, the line’s theme and look have been designed, I have created an amazing web-world following, the Etsy shop was built, CurleeBikini Bags are being designed and sold, the swimwear patterns have been evolving… and officially, the very first bikini sample has been made… NOW its crunch time!!!

This entire process is being completed by me, myself and I… there’s no factory for manufacturing, no interns, no employees… I do it all, here at the CurleeBikini Studio, by my own hard-working hand! Granted, I have had the assistance of few special men in my life, for the studio’s construction; and the lovely ladies in my life who not only contribute friendship and support… have also assisted me with design ideas, fit/sizing specifics and added fun, here in the studio! It’s been a journey one step at a time and there is still a ways to go… but the next time you really hear from me, it will be with CurleeBikini swimwear on body and in hand, ready to sell to all the beauties out there… and just in time for summer! So, please sit tight for just a little bit longer… I’ll be back soon enough with fabulous, Mother Nature Mindful, swimwear!!!

In the meantime… go get yourself a CurleeBikini Bag and some vintage treasures at the CurleeBikini Etsy Shop!!!

And it blows away with the changing wind
The waters turn from blue to red
As towards the sky I offer it’
