Pret a Monkey

Derek was almost on board to star in the shoot...but then he wore this coat.


I will soon be able to add another line to my resume, and another row of hair fallen out due to complete stresses. "Photo Shoot Coordinator," yes, thats me. When DressMonkey rises the ranks of the corporate fashion world, we will have our own photography department. For now, its just me. So our very first DressMonkey photoshoot, using actual DressMonkey blazers is on for Sunday, weather permitting. While we have an excess of blazers, a RIDICULOUS photographer, and a beer budget, hired models actually charge money (can you believe that!?...the nerve...) so we are going to use us and our friends to wear our products. Also, our friends are really, really good looking (cue magnum look....its glorious).

I've been really stressed out this week in preparation for MMM3, sourcing our buttons, boxes, fabrics and all sorts of shit, but I'm actually looking forward to what will no doubt be another chaotic day in the building of this brand. It has been crazy thus far, trying to work with people's commitments to flag football, outfit requirements, and our photographer's generally kickass ideas. We found a way to motivate people, with a massive BBQ at the end of the day, and hopefully we'll get some cool rooftop shots then.

I'll write an extended post after I'm finished with the shoot, and maybe give you guys a sneak preview of some of the shots. Regardless, its been a long day trying to deal with all things MMM3, I need thai food, stat.
