23 years and 23 more!

can you say holy smokes!? dazzle has been on 23rd for 23 years this month! last night was a little celebration to commemorate this momentous feat! my mom is so amazing. her creativity is unmatched. she is the Madonna of portland. she continues to re-invent herself to keep up with the times. i'm so proud of you mom, and so proud to be apart of something to beautiful! dazzle has been my home. i was the only 5th grader with a job on the weekends. when my mom took me to paris in 1990 i was able to go to the Chanel store and purchase a FABULOUS handbag from there, and i used my monies that i had earned working at dazzle. what 17 year old do you know that could whip out $600 for a purse....um, yeah, hee hee...it was kinda spendy, but hey it was Chanel baby! when i had xavier mom said to bring him to work with me so that he wouldn't have to be in daycare. so, 4 days a week dazzle had a "store baby" and he hung out there until he was 3. by the end he was bringing ladies jewelery and telling them it would be pretty on them. he would go home having been "dazzled" with glitter and hair pretties in his hair. bellow you can see the "store baby" all grown-up. he sprayed his hair colors to look cool for the event. thank you mom and dazzle, for all you've done for me in the past and in the present. i'm so proud to say that dazzle is apart of me ;)
