Respect and invest in my shit

Current mood:angry
Ok so the title may be a little unprofessional...off-putting.

It gets the point across.

I just have this one thing to say....that this is not a joke or a game - this is my dream, my hard work, my life, my purpose.

My art is me.

Not only is it rude and presumptuous, but it is also offensive that my friends would expect me to spend long hard hours on hand made clothing and just give it away to them for free. You invest in Calvin Klein, Tommy, Ralph Lauren and Donna Karan, etc.

Yet you feel that you should not pay me for my work.

I have a living to make just like you do. I don't care if you and I have been friends since high school or that we pledged the same damn sorority. (Im mad I even did that Sorority shit)

Point is...there is no buddy discount, and my work is not free.

Don't insult me
Don't act like this shit ain't quality.

This is a small business...an around the way girl trying to make it in this world
yet you have no qualms in contributing to making an already established designer even richer than he or she is.

I touch every piece I sell! This is a one woman show!
Respect and invest in my shit! Especially if we so down, so cool, so friendly.

Prices are not posted in vain - business style is not posted in vain.

Do your homework and realize that I am undercharging as it is really....

Get it now before I raise the prices just thinking about this shit.
