super duper exciting news!
I have been contacted by HGTV's I Want That - they want to do a segment on my commissions for their show. I am excited to death! Apparently they have over 80,000 people watching that show, so this will be amazing publicity.
Now I have to find something to wear and fast! They want to tape here in my studio in the next week or so.
Can't wear white, or black. I usually wear cap sleeve T's or Tanks with jeans. Anyone know of any cute, arty (non white or black) T's or Tanks I could buy online? Anyone want to come to my house and dress me? Oh please don't make me have to go to the mall!! Any help would be appreciated.

that is so exciting, congrats! i so know what you mean about the mall...how about anthropologie? can't wait to see you on tv.
hi guys!
I found cute shirts from this site:
http://randomnicole.com/
but I don't know if I'll get them in time.
I guess I'll have to break down and go to the mall so I can go to Anthropologie.
If anyone else has any suggestions, I'm still looking!
thanks for the tips!

HURRAY! I watch that show all the time!! So thrilled for you! I got so busy I never finished my application for That's Clever. I'm living vicariously through you! Hmmm...what to wear?? You've simply got to make a t-shirt with your artwork on it.
check out a line called Porridge at anthropologie. cute tanks and tees. plus lots of other cool tops.

How exciting, Claudine!
We love "I Want That" and even more so now. BTW - your segment on beeswax is on Carol Duval again on Tuesday (7/25). Check out Ann Taylor Loft. They have great tees and jeans/pants. And as for the arty part - you could take care of that!
Best wishes,
Angela

How exciting! They didn't give you much time to prepare...but then it is less time to become nervous about it. I have seen that show and I am excited to watch you on it. Anthropologie...yes look there for arty T's!
I can't wait to see you on t.v.!! Try j.crew, they carry zillions of colors in tees...how about a scoop neck or v neck and an artsy necklace? You know i'd make you one and overnight it-no problem!
congratulations !!!
i live far away so i can't help to dress you ;-)))
but, for what i see, i guess anything will be ok ....
All the Best !!!

Cool cool cool. How great is this for you :-)
Maybe you'd be better to wear something you already own and love - so you don't feel the need to fiddle with a "foreign" top!!

Congratulations Claudine. That's really great news.
As far as dressing, I personally would go for smaller boutiques than chain stores. Not only does it support artisan clothing-makers, but it's usually has a unique edge you won't see at the mall. (Also, it totally fights the evils of Mall Culture!)
I would also suggest layers, especially sheers. Nothing says luxury like layers. You use them in your collages... why not incorporate them into your clothing?
Here are my suggestions:
http://www.andreawinkler.com/
Funky silk screen tops.
http://www.cutxpaste.com/index.html
Lots of cute tops and accessories.
http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/2891172/0~2378467~2378483~2381032
So, I cheated. This isn't from a boutique, but it's a great garment at a nice sale price.
http://alldressedupandshy.com/
Loads of great one-of-akind pieces! Especially the Gathered Shirt in blue.
http://www.ametandsasha.com/
Another creative team that makes non-mass manufactured clothing. The Lace Tea Top is super cute. So is the Many Layers Shirt.
http://smashingmirrors.com/
Supports emerging designers.
Anyways, you'll look great in whatever you wear! If you investigate half the list that all the people have suggested, you'll have your work cut out for you. No pun intended.

Congratulations Claudine!!!! I can't wait to hear the time and date so I can watch!!! How about Target??? They usually have cute T's!
Congratulations! Why not pick your favorite apron, that you feel is truly special and pick a coordinating T-shirt color for under it- this would give you the familiar/homey/tried and true feel when you get nervous and would surround you with a loving hug of your comfortable everyday wear... I suggest that you don't try wearing something you usually don't wear. I think your aprons are probably more colorful than black or white and if you chose them they have something you love about them... just my two cents...Don't try to be more glamorous for the show... You shine and have a simply stunning beauty that doesn't need doing up... OK so the camera won't want black or white, but as I suggested those aprons have soul.... I'd go for comfort/soul and a tried and true look! Be yourself! Laura Lea

Congrats on your HGTV guest appearance. I have been admiring your work for some time and love your DVD series. I work for Bloomingdales and we have a free service called "At your Service" and it is free. It is your own personal shopper. Call them up, tell them your situation, the personal shopper can have everything waiting for you and you just pick it out. If you need help they help you. I know th General Manager of the store, Julia (she hired me in my store in Boca Raton) and I am sure that they can get you the coolist tees/tops for your TV appearance.
Good Luck
Good Luck
