Oligo Dreams
July 25, 2008 by mexicachica
Ever wondered what it takes to start an online business? Sleeping, eating and breathing with your new venture in mind perhaps begins to describe what it is like. So I’m having Oligo dreams lately. Oligo is a prefix for small or few and incidentally the very name of our online business. Oligoville to be exact.
My Oligo dreams involve the very glamorous side of the fashion industry. The exact reason I was lured into this world to begin with. I’m talking wardrobe, makeup, hair, models…………photo shoots! This past weekend we orchestrated a photo shoot for our very first marketing campaign. It was a whirlwind of a day but oh soooo exciting!
Our site is scheduled to launch the end of this year but in the meantime we have to attract designers, musicians, members and investors. What better way to convey our message but through images? Oh, but not just any old stock photos! We have decided to tell the Oligoville story visually.
You see, Oligoville will be an online community that will feature and promote independent designers and musicians. Our site will have a slew of features to help these emerging artists spread the word and connect with a larger market. A market that is hungry for different, unique and innovative. Can you tell I’m excited?
So my head is still spinning from this past weekend but in a very good way. My partners and I are eternally grateful to everyone that helped put it together in such a short amount of time. We planned the entire thing in one week and somehow found the most fun and enthusiastic bunch in Dallas. We would like to send a special thanks to; Ashley our photographer, Lynn and Hollye who did our hair and makeup, Andrew and Doug from House of Dang, Micheal from Klad boutique in Dallas, Jacky from Texas Tarts. A big thank you to our models; Courtney, Octavia and Hollis as well as our musicians Teresa, Tommy, Havila and Jamie. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
So the shoot is over and now I will be dreaming of Vegas. Why Vegas? Stay tuned.
Can anyone say fierce?!
I love Andrew! He is such a perfectionist.
