……………………………There’s a new FISH swimming up stream, and we are calling it “THE FANTASY FISH”, J360756………….Ever since I created the first fish pendant for QVC, which came from my Anne Klein archives it was a huge success. I have been wondering what the next “species” would be. I toyed with another fish, but I really felt I hadn’t explored all of the possibilities with this fish….I just couldn’t let it swim out to sea…..From the beginning I have been wanting to do the fish in other colors besides the classic gold and silver…..so we experimented with different platting colors…gold ox, copper ox, gunmetal, green patina, shiny black, pink gold [to come]……all sell outs…….what’s next……………I have been talking to the factory for at least two years about doing COLOR, but how to achieve it……….We have finally developed a new way to “color” the fish. It is still a METAL BASE as the original, but it has a new method of coloring…I repeat it is a METAL FISH just like the original only with color on top……Now we can do all the colors of the RAINBOW………It is the same body and size as the original fish, and it is still double sided with different color eyes on each side……..What is totally different is the FEEL of the fish……………It feels soft like TALCUM POWER……..you won’t want to stop touching it……………………..Now the colors………………………………………..BLUE……………………………WHITE…………………….RED………………………YELLOW…………………………GREEN………..all hanging from GOLD CHAINS…………..Of course they look wonderful on there own…..but I’m having so much fun mixing two colors at a time……………………….I know you will love the new FANTASY FISH…………..If you got compliments with the original…..just wait…………………………..enjoy………………….much Love…………………………….Louis
…………………Sorry to be a day late, but I couldn’t post this Christmas message from my brother’s home….As they say….better late then never………I don’t remember much about last Christmas. I was in a daze, and did what I was told, and went where I was led. Thank God for my brother Mauro and my sister in law Kathy who took great care of me……This first year without my Jac has been, without question, the most difficult and desperately sad year of my life, and now another Christmas has come……This one somehow feels like the first one without Jac. All of my emotions are heightened and raw….I didn’t know what to post or what to say so I started looking through the many many photos in my library, and this collage came up! I knew immediately that this was the photo to post. I can’t remember a happier Christmas….This is our Christmas story out of all the Christmases we lovingly spent together……One night while we were snuggled in our bed we heard a terrible crashing noise!….Our Christmas tree had fallen down and most of our ornaments that we had collected over the years had broken…..All of the memories of collecting them, from near and far, were destroyed in an instant…We saw our history, our happy times broken into a million little pieces of glass on the floor…..I had mentioned what had happened in a post…….The next thing we knew there was a big box behind our front door????The Ladies of the Coterie had gotten together and bought beautiful ornaments, which they sent to us. To say we were overwhelmed would be an understatement…….Jac was so happy, we both were, but Jac was like a little girl opening each present. It was pure joy. I will never forget her face….Every year since, Jac would store this special group of ornaments in their own container, and every Christmas when we opened the box, the joy and memories would come pouring out…..Last year I brought the tree out at Thanksgiving so Jac could enjoy it. Jac didn’t want me to decorate it, because she thought it would be too much for me, and it would take too much time. She just wanted me to sit with her and enjoy the lights………..This year I was determined to decorate the house and the TREE as we always had it……..something I was compelled to do……..for Jac…… I have been flooded with all kinds of emotions. Her loss has never been as painful as it is now…………..Then I opened THE box of special ornaments and all of the good memories and the joys of that time came over me like a tsunami…..I will forever be grateful for being able to have this time with Jac and the happy memories that you gave us….They will be with me forever………….This will always be, for us, the true meaning of Christmas………………………………..Merry Christmas everyone……………may God bless each and every one of you and all of your loved ones……………………much Love……………………….Louis
………………..The other evening, when I had my two QVC2 shows one at 4pm and 10pm, I took “My Girls” our for a Mexican dinner! They picked the place and I drove. Trying to get directions in a car with a gaggle of laughing girls is not an easy feat. Angela, Chantal, Jennifer and Kate were in the party, Maria and Brenda couldn’t make it. They were missed…..Of course Jac made her presence known, a sad but happy moment. We all drank to my Baby. I had a nonalcoholic beer and Kate had water……the rest had Margaritas…..I miss them……We had a good time before we all had to return for the 10pm show. I am happy to see how well Jen is bonding with everyone….she is now officially one of the girls!……much Love………Louis
………………………….This Christmas is special to me in so many ways……..both terribly sad, and happy……….Last year we didn’t get to decorate the house as Jac and I had done for so many years. I put up the minimal decorations….the wreath over the fireplace, the swag on the mantel and the tree with just the lights. I did this the day after Thanksgiving when Jac asked if we could have the tree now….I think she already knew what was to come even though Jac never said a word………………….This year I wanted to decorate the house exactly as we had always done. With each decoration joyful memories came flooding back. We made the platter of dough ornaments in 1987…………………… I did this for Jac so she can see it from heaven…………I pray that Jac can see it all and is with her Mom smiling her sweet smile……………………………………………….
