ANNOUNCEMENT: 3rd place wasn’t so bad…

I am excited to announce that even though I came in 3rd place in the Wrangler’s NEXTblue Denim Design Contest I am still winning everyday. Today, I was given access to the NEW NEXTblue Blog as a Editorial Contributor with my very own column.

 

I will be doing some denim devoted debauchery from The Butt Therapist, some fashion from CRACKERJACK+hOUSE and telling you how I am working my way into the industry doors. The lessons I learn, my epic failures and my mini victories will hopefully compile into creating one grand success story. Thank you for your support, your WRANGLER VOTES and all of the praise and love you have shown me. I owe you more than a latte!

 

I have spent the last couple hours having my own little photo shoot in the front yard for a BIO picture. My neighbors most defiantly think I am CRAZY!  A few pair of jeans, one twisted ankle, one gashed foot, one broken Christian Louboutin, and I think there was one tear for my shoe… thankfully creatives stick together and  I was fortunate to snag Damien and appoint him photographer to finish up a few head shots. Here is the first of my downloads… You have now seen as many as I have… stay tuned for a lot more from me because of YOU! Thank you!

 

Passionately yours,

 

a passionate pain in the ass… The Butt Therapist

Love, Joby John Harding

“My mom called me yesterday evening all upset that you didnt win and let me know so I could hit you up. I honestly think this was a great experience for you and is only going to help you in the future. Everything happens for a reason and I am sure this will lead to bigger opportunities for you. So great job to you in all you have accomplished, I am proud of you. It’s all about going after what you want and taking chances. Its not to often you see people going for their dreams and putting themselves out there to be judged, we are the special few in that crowd stand out. So good job and can’t wait to see your next big adventure, keep doing your thang!” -Joby John Harding

Just in case you missed it on-air here is the link of me throwing myself in front of the camera to talk a little denim. I would have NEVER done this if it weren’t for your support and the opportunity to compete as a TOP finalist for the nextblue denim design competition for Wrangler Jeans. Thank you Wrangler for your support, hospitality and this amazing opportunity to experiment with my passion. A huge THANK YOU goes out to my supporters: my friends, family, retailers, apparel designers, industry leaders, Portland and to all the public support (the many people who voted for me without knowing me personally)…WOW and Thank you!

Love, Anne Bocci
