I’ve not managed to keep my blog up to date. I can only say that the past three days have been some of the most intense, rewarding and exhausting few days in my career.
With the Shenzhen jet lag still fresh, the San Francisco jet lag was a new experience for me. Follow this by four days of a whirlwind Catherine Turissini style and you start to enter a new alternative dimension. I’m in Chicago but I simply can’t update my blog for today (which was a great day), without doing justice to the past few days... so you will have to wait!
Here is the lovely Star De Azlan. An up-and-coming Country and Western Star, who was fitted for a fantastic Tom Davies Sunglass. I also fitted Grammy Award Winning Bryan White during a world record of a day.

So this was last Thursday and I met with three Opticians and during the day fitted 40 Bespoke consultations!!!!! A record never to be repeated!
Many more photos from the three Opticians will be posted as soon as they are emailed to me from the accounts. I was so busy I didn’t actually take any myself but I do want to say a big thank you to all three accounts who made the day possible and I’ll post full details and more pics tomorrow.
Catherine here, hob nobbing with the stars.
In the meantime, here is some of the wonderful press to have a look at from the Occhiali event. They hired a fantastic PR chap called Jef, who created such a media buzz that I was feeling rather glamorous (for a humble spectacle designer). These are just a few. I’ll try and post some of the magazines and papers later with the rest of the pictures in a few days.

Here is Jef himself, with the TD frame I am going to re-design for him. Many people have promised to send me photos when they get their frames, so I’ll post these in around a month’s time.
Also, check back to this post in a few days and you will see many more photos from the day. I'll also have a few Thank Yous for some of the wonderful people and accounts I've met (but better in pictures!).
