On Wednesday I got a phone call from a friend saying I was on some website called Regretsy. I never heard of the website before…but the basic gist is that they make fun on things they find on Etsy. So I checked it out…makes fun of mostly vagina/penis things…and then of course one of my garments (which doesn’t have any vagina/penis’s lol). <–Shown below : ) …click on the photo to go to our Etsy page
I get asked a lot about the haters….the people that talk shit about my brand/ect. So…since it’s a new year…I thought it would be the perfect first posting. I’m gonna let it all loose !!
MORE juicy gossip in this post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In the beginning of the New York Couture journey I had a lot of haters. People would take the time to email me all sorts of funny things (or at least I thought they were funny). Now-a-days I can’t remember the last hate email…and those were pretty fun to respond to : )
(*NOTE: please read this is a calm and content voice otherwise it sounds like i’m reallly angry…and i’m not…lol). The people that yell “freak” at you or the people that comment on Regretsy are honestly losers! They have miserable sad excuses for lives and what makes them feel better is shit talking. I think online shit talkers are the biggest cowards of all….b/c you can’t see or really know them….but I can give you an idea. Jenny size 50XL, who could never fit into my clothes to begin with, and Bobby who is 28 and who’s big success in life is landing the job at the local Walmart are the faces I give to those online shit talkers. Successful people do not have time to sit around and respond to shit talking blogs/ect. If I did have that much time it would be really sad…and I would just find something more productive to do…like trim my toe nails or something.

I am not writing this because I am so “hurt by the mean comments”….lololol….it’s just time to put it out there for all to see…and i’m going to make this extra interesting and post it on Regrety….I think I will FOR SURE make a lot of great new friends…ahahaha. Hello to you new friend!!!
So I’m going to respond now to the most common hate….HERE:
1) Who would wear that?
New York Couture is NOT for everyone! Mary Jane milking cows in Kentucky is not my prime candidate to be wearing a Panda Dress, for example. The brand is for the UNIQUE. It is for those that like to stand out in a crowd. If you are afraid what people will think….then it’s not your cup of tea!

2) This is UGLY….that is UGLY….
I know you are but what am I
(above: You know you wanna kiss it!)
3) How can you post Katy Perry wearing your Panda Dress….it was on the Worst Dressed List….
It was one of my proudest moments and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I do not make elegant Grammy Award Winner dresses…I make frickin Pandas, Owls, Snakes, ect….OF COURSE i’m going to be on the Worst Dressed List. But when I say Bjork….the first thing you think of is Swan Dress….so it clearly leaves its mark as memorable- the crazier a garment is. That’s what I strive for….to be memorable. People that wear New York Couture are having fun. And if you don’t like it…I don’t care!

4) OMFGGGG!!! Sooo much $$$$!!!!
Don’t be poor. Honestly…New York Couture is moderately priced for what it is. If you want mass produced China crap you can find at any mall then maybe try Forever 21….b/c they are FILLED with that!! New York Couture will NEVER be sold at a mall…will ONLY be available at the coolest boutiques worldwide (& in the hopefully near future at our very own boutiques). If you think of how much brands like Betsey Johnson, Jeremy Scott, ect cost…then you see that our price points are significantly lower. It’s simple….if you can’t afford it…don’t buy it.
(above: BUY ME instead!!! Mmmmm yummy noodles!!!!)
5) You are NOT Couture….and then they put the definition of couture….
This was my first hate message ever…it was from a blogger…she was SOOO mad at me and said she would NEVER write about my brand. I told her I could give a shit….I dont even remember what the blog was. In response…I did not create the brand name New York Couture over several long months of consideration. It was a quick and by accident name that was thought up in a matter of minutes so we could sell things online. Why the combo? Well because I’m from/LOVE New York….and because all my garments are custom/handmade with attention to detail. I do not regret the decision to have this as my brand name…I think it has a perfect fit and I cannot imagine another name for all these creations. New York Couture is a punk rock clothing line! If you are offended by the name then you need to seek professional help!!!

What’s the lesson to learn from this?
I don’t care….talk all the shit you want…post all the blogs you want about how ugly you think my brand is…b/c you are just bringing me MORE and MORE hits!!!! Thanks to this garment being on Regretsy I sold a whole bunch of Mustache Necklaces (see below), had 10,000 hits to the skirt shown, and Etsy put my store on its main page. Your opinion doesn’t matter to me because you just don’t matter! I’m only 26 and got my Bachelors Degree in 2 1/2 years Magna Cum Laude, own my house, a successful clothing company, have been in the most popular magazines dressing the most popular celebrities…so I have nothing I need to prove to you. When you find the cure to cancer then we can talk. It’s not a competition, b/c I already won!!

I win….you LOSE!
