My little cats!
It is with undisguised joy that I can announce that Make My Lemonade.com, and .fr are up and running! EVERYTHING works! Hurray! Relief, elation and crème de marron, it's working again! OK, we've managed to salvage a few things in the last few days, but I can't hide my sigh of happiness when I saw that my little site, my little "baby", was up and running again. Last week, I broke into a cold sweat when all of a sudden, 3 years of my work had disappeared from the Internet... I almost said to myself, it's a sign, leave everything, go and live in Calais and learn the ancestral techniques of lacemaking, or go and make goat's cheese in Creuse, I hesitated. But no, I've got it under my little cats' heels. I waited in pain, because it's really the thing I'm least good at in the world: Patience (and mathematics).
Well, today I'm back with a collaboration that makes me jump for joy, yes I'm a real spring! A few months ago, I was approached by My Little Paris to work with them on the artistic direction of the "Gambettes Box and "My Little Box of December. Hysteria in the meeting room (well, at the end of the meeting, hysteria for me alone, on the phone with the whole world).
So for those of you unfamiliar with the concept, the gambette box is a subscription to a monthly box (except July and August) containing 2 pairs of crazy tights you won't find anywhere else! It's €13.90 a month and there's no commitment, so you can stop whenever you like. Needless to say, it's a great gift idea for your little sister, your best friend... With the blog, I've had the chance to try out tons of boxes! But I really fell in love with the My little Paris boxes... Otherwise, I'd never have collaborated with them.
So when I knew I could imagine the tights I'd been fantasizing about, it was pretty straightforward - as much as I don't know how to wait, I know exactly what I want. I wanted to go a little further with the tights, and I wanted to make stockings that would stand on their own. But technical and scheduling constraints made it difficult to include stockings in this box. But no matter... I came up with a pair of stocking illusion tights... In fact, the first pair of tights is two-material, opaque black leggings that end in transparent black and feathered tights... And for the holidays, I wanted couture tights - don't they say "couture stockings"? But not just any couture, gold couture... I hope you like it! I can't wait to read your feedback! And because it's Christmas, I'm offering you the chance to win 5 Gambettes Box x Make My Lemonade! It couldn't be easier: tell me what your dream tights are in a comment... You've got until Friday 10am to enter, and I'll post the winners' names at the end of this article! I love you STRONG, so STRONG! And I'm talking about My Little Box very, very soon!
Thank you all for your entries, I think we all agree that the tights of our dreams are the ones that don't spin! End of suspense, the 5 winners are : Mi-Na with her foundation pantyhose concept, Sylvie Lalanne and her luminous pantyhose, Olivia and her jewel pantyhose idea, Justine and her globe motif and finally Anne and her pantyhose with built-in thermometer! Please send me your addresses and sizes to [email protected], and thank you all again, with lots of love!
