People You Should Know

Tina, whip out those 3-D glasses and throw 'em away, because you're about to get a 2-D look into the future of fashion, film, yoga, etc. I'm starting a list of people you should know. A clique if you will because I know how much you love cliques. (By the way, I totally auditioned for Cady in Mean Girls. We could have been friends much earlier.) I'm going to call this list of people Fey-riends or until I come up with something better. Now these people go through a rigorous selection process. I wouldn't suggest just anybody to you, Tina. Your new Fey-riends are not only amazing at what they do, they're really cool people.

First up is Kat Swick. How cool is that name? Simple and has a verb in it. Kat has the great honor of being first on this list because we've been friends for a long time and she paid me $50. Just kidding. We've only been friends for like 2 yrs.  I'm labeling her as a fashion designer, but she's also consequently an artist, photographer, graphic designer, etc. I've been telling her to go on Project Runway because she's talented and because I know she'll be a fan favorite. And she's the girl whose soundbites you like watching compiled during reunion specials because she'll have the most ridiculous, sincere comments. Don't worry Tina I got the hook up on your fashion needs. What you want, girl? I'm coining the phrase Kat Call anytime you need something to wear from Kat's collection.
Here's some pics of Kat's Originals. Just think how Swick (not a typo) you'll look in those.

And I guess TOMS had a contest for shoe designs. I would have definitely bought those and put up with the terrible customer service that I now associate with buying my TOMS. (Reference to earlier post: http://tinafeyismyfriend.blogspot.com/2010/06/i-hate-mediocre-bad-customer-service.html)

Aside from designing, there are some facts about Kat that will blow your mind grapes.
1. She writes backwards AND in cursive. The sentence still comes out normal but instead she writes right to left.
2. Do you need a voice for any animated projects you're working on? Because her natural voice is perfect. There's no way to describe it. I'm sure it's like the time you heard Cyndi Lauper speak and you're like "that's your actual voice?"
3. She was neighbors with Eddie Matthews, who apparently designed the Chunnel. That's right Tina, you're 2 degrees of separation away from Eddie Matthews.
4. She's incredibly genuine and optimistic. She can make the most mundane story hilarious. How can you not be around that energy?
