    How being a CD got me a freelance job!

    As a designer I was able to acquire a contract with a pharmaceutical company that specialized in what else feminine products. The assignment was to design packaging for these various products. The project manager suggested that I look to my feminine side to bring out the designs that would be most attractive to a female consumer. Little did she know that that was a given.

    So I found it a perfect opportunity, or excuse, if you will to dress and proceed with my designs. After my presentation she loved them and I was able to get an extended contract.

    I only wish I could have presented my designs as Ilsa.

    Why not? From your post it appears the manager knows about Ilsa.

    In any case, good for you!

    Ilsa, that's great. I'm glad your CDing has paid off. I don't see it ever paying off in my field, as its pretty much a sausagefest.

    That's pretty cool. I've been painting as Kevyn lately and the creativity flows a lot better.

    I designed food containers designed to sell to the female populace.
    This was akin to the catalog photos I was involved in.
    Work on your elegance,
    and beauty will follow.

    Same for me, starting a new design or sketch, dressing up 'opens up' something.

    Hi Ilsa, I guess that we could say that you used your secret weapon.
    Having my ears triple pierced is AWESOME, ~~......

    I can explain it to you, But I can't comprehend it for you !

    If at first you don't succeed, Then Skydiving isn't for you.

    Be careful what you wish for, Once you ring a bell , you just can't Un-Ring it !! !!

    +1 on the Mel Gibson movie. I would think pastel colors would be best. Congrats Iisa.
