My boutique that I co-own with my mom, who is also my best friend, is a major interest for me, of course. We have been open since mid-November 2005 and the business end is starting to pick up as more people are realizing that we're totally unique to the area - and that there's more to the name Two Chic Chicks than meets the eye! We just had a really good push from a recent ad campaign, which has helped immensely plus we'll be featured in several more ads, including a listing in Bride's magazine and For the Bride magazine PLUS we're going to be listed in San Antonio Wedding Guide and was one of the fashion show participants at the San Antonio Wedding Guide's Bridal Extravaganza in Sept. 2006. I'm so excited - we'll be hosting our first bridal & special occasion fashion show in September as well!! I also keep busy handling the .. aspect of the business - since we have a website and generate sales from that.

Since my boutique is an apparel place, fashion is also an interest of mine. I have a degree in Studio Art, and plan on getting a second Bachelor's in Fashion Merchandising and Design. I own an apparel boutique - I think it's only natural to have some of my own designs in my store, right?
I'm also a big fan of international cuisine, international places, international music..... the list goes on. I do need to clarify that this is not my being anti-American or anything. I grew up overseas, so I'm fond of the things that are familiar. And girls... you have to admit that a guy with an accent is tres hot!Other interests include:
*  listening to music
*  Yoga and Pilates [I've discovered YBB "Yoga Booty Ballet", which is very cool]
*  driving fast with a the stereo going full blast
*  visiting art galleries, museums or showings
*  stopping by historical places like Eagle's Nest in Berchtesgaden, Germany or walking the Grand Canals in Venice, Italy
*  sitting down to a good book on a rainy day with a cup of tea and some scones
*  attending regional pow-wows with my family [we're Native Americans, so it's more a traditional reason why we attend than a cliche]
There are a LOT more things that I enjoy, but that's the fun in getting to know someone else - if all were revealed in a single web space, where would be the fun in finding nothing beyond the blog?

Music:
[Jared Leto is totally HOT .... now if he was only in the area!]
Music-wise, I'm pretty open to anything that sounds good [except for country, rap, gangsta, hip-hop, street funk, etc.], has a great beat and lyrics that can be sung to or make sense. I'm really not into bands that sound too "Mouseketeerish" or cheesey - I prefer bands that are "meaty", ya know. I'm a fan of Euro-pop groups like Duran Duran and Depeche Mode; love the mainstays like U2 and Madonna; am still stuck in the '80's with groups like A-ha, Billy Idol, the Beastie Boys and Devo; calm down with muses like Sarah McLachlan, Dido or Sade; rock with the best of them with Rammstein, Disturbed, korn, or Gorillaz; and can drive fast or dance with Enigma, Paul Oakenfeld, and many others.
One good electronica person to listen to is fellow Myspace member "Dyne" - I love his song called Movement! http://www.myspace.com/dyne

Television:
I kind of stopped watching tv after "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" went off the air! Seriously, there really isn't that much on that's not a reality show of some type and once you've seen one of those, you've pretty much seen them all. I do like the Food Network, "What Not to Wear", "Battlestar Galatica" "The 4400", "The Dead Zone", "Monk" "Law & Order" [the original, Criminal Intent and SVU], "America's Next Top Model", and "Stargate SG:1". That's about it for tv.

Heroes:
Jesus and my parents are my biggest heroes. Jesus gave up His life for the entire world and my parents would give up their lives for my siblings and I. How can I not admire those willing to do self sacrifice for the good of others?
I also admire anyone who has ever served in the military, law enforcement, the fire department or any branch of national service because they constantly put their lives on the line every day without a single thought and hardly get any sort of thanks for their efforts.
Other heroes include [in no particular order]: Batman, Wonder Woman, Martha Stewart, Oprah Winfrey, Bono, all those positively involved in or affected directly by 9/11, people who go out of their way for others, guys who still open doors for women as they walk in or out of a building;
oh..... and whoever rids the world of terrorists [especially Osama bin Laden] deserves all the respect in the world
