It has been 41 days since Cocomania ended ... sigh ... oh how I miss everyone I worked with. I just have to say thank you to everyone involved. This was one of the best nights of my life. Also a special thank you to Jean Brager, with out you this would not have been possible. I hope you know you have given such hope and inspiration to every person involved in Cocomania. Jamie Easton and the team at Aveda Paris Parker, you guys are incredible at what you do. Every year our angels show up and really brings the show to the next level. Quinn Connors, I have no words ... With out you I am not sure I would have been able to pull off the extremely long nights of sewing and sequencing and lord know what else we had to do to pull this off. You are wonderfabazaming!! I miss you my dear! Natalie, Sarah, Chris, Quinn it was an honor to stand shoulder to shoulder with you guys as designers in this show. You each are terribly great at what you do. I can't wait to see what each of us has in store for the future! My Mom, the most amazing woman I know + Julie & Drex + My dad (who could not be there, but surprised me with and phoned in from Vietnam - one of the best moments of the night.) + Sonny + Wham + Michael, the source of all the butterflies in my stomach + The Landry Family & The Beyls (aka The Incredibles) + Brian & Britney + Tayor, the best photographer ever! + Wardell + Nick + If I forgot anyone I sincerely apologize, but thank you guys for coming out and supporting me. The long nights working on the show would have meant nothing if I was not able to share it with you. I truly mean it from the bottom of my heart - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
