China Bound 3

China may be over 5000 miles from Oregon but at a recent event it never felt closer to some local fashion designers and retail shop owners that are planning a trip there in the Spring of 2011.

Jeremiah Stroup local media personality and event emcee moderated a private press conference at "China Bound 3" an internationally inspired event hosted at the Benson Hotel in downtown Portland, Oregon. The event was attended by fashion press and fashion supporters alike that wanted to see that latest collection from Project Runway Season 7 winner Seth Aaron along side up and coming designers like Tony Dimitri and other local fashion retails and "influencers".



If guests missed Seth's solar inspired collection seen at Portland Fashion Week (2010) they got to see it at "China Bound 3" with a few new twists. All involved stuck around after wards to shake hands, take photos and meet with fans. The mood was festive and encouraging as local support to take Portland's design savvy to the manufacturing powerhouse of China seems strong.

Sleep - Less

I am not sure if Sleeping less at night is a good or bad thing. At the moment I have noticed for a least a few months I don't really sleep through the night. I have my thoughts on it, but for the most part I don't seem to keep normal hours (don't really have to) and my head if filled with so many ideas and plans, it seems best sometimes to just get up and do or be, then lay down grasping at a sleep that seems to never come. That is until dawn, then I seem all to ready for my bed. Go figure. Well is a man with Vision, Inspiration, and Passion sleeps less, but lives more I can deal with that. The lack of sleep doesn't seem to keep me from dreaming.
