:::Friends, Family and Supporters:::
The C.U.R.V.V. Fashion Exhibit at the University of Penn Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology
It has been 15 days since the C.U.R.V.V. Fashion Exhibit in
Philadelphia and I am still on a C.U.R.V.V. high. One would think that I would be
the first blogger to write about it especially since it was my exhibit, but I
just needed some time to regroup and focus on some tasks I have neglected
during the planning process of C.U.R.V.V.
I am sincerely overjoyed by the support and love that was
shown to me and my team during the exhibit. We worked so hard to pull
everything together and I couldn’t have selected a better group of ladies to
work with. The obstacles we had to overcome made this event nothing short of a
miracle. Who knew that filming and editing a movie, planning a fashion exhibit
at a museum, working a full-time job and running a business all at the same
time with only 3 short months to plan would be so overwhelming? We did! And
we were all up for the challenge. Because of this, the trending hash-tag is now
#CURVVswerve. C.U.R.V.V. Swerve definition: (noun) any opposer that attempts to
delay or halt the growth of an individual. This word can also describe the actions
of an antagonist “throwing shade”, demonstrating jealousy or diligently working
to make sure one does not succeed. Additional terms, hash-tags and phrases that
originated through the production process of “C.U.R.V.V.” are “The Struggle”, “The
Struggle Is Real”, “The Struggle Is Too Real” and “The Bearded Wonder” amongst
other clever and witty sayings...Yea I know, what does this all mean? Once the outtakes are posted on C.U.R.V.V. TV
you all will be able to fully understand and laugh along.
A lot of people have asked if the movie will be posted on
C.U.R.V.V. TV anytime soon and the answer is unfortunately not.The movie is in the process of being revamped. "C.U.R.V.V." will official premiere June 2014. We are looking to receive backing to make it a feature film in the latter part of 2014 *Fingers Crossed...Prayers Up*.
Now I could try to put the C.U.R.V.V. experience into words, but
I think it would be better to let you view the images from the C.U.R.V.V. festivities
to get a real feel for the atmosphere and tone of the event.
