First Interview

Hello again readers!

I'm moving forward with the process and have completed the first interview. First character:

The Dabbler

The Dabbler aka Samantha was actually the assistant coordinator way back when I was modeling in theBU Fashion show. She was the ONLY reason that I did not quit since the coordinator gave Meryl Streep's character in "The Devil Wears Prada" a run for her money. Always dressed trendy, Samantha personified fashion during her years here in Boston. Now she is in NYC pursuing her 2 loves--fashion and writing. She hopes to be an editor for a magazine someday and has had plenty of experience with internships.

The interview went very well! Samantha admitted to nerves which was a surprise to me because, 1) She's from NY and sassy, 2) she has a captivating and confident presence. We started out with her making a bracelet and explaining her designs and process. She actually twisted wire and bent chain links to make her unique brand (named Odd & Even) of accessories. She had some entertaining anecdotes about people asking her if she melted down the metal to make the charms to people watching her as she created jewelry on the train going to work.

Even though this is a favorite "hobby" of Samantha, she has plans to get a table at a jewelry market and show off her products. It is a large step because of the financial output needed to rent the table and buy supplies. I wish her luck with her endeavor! I'm sure she will continue to expand to become more than a "dabbler".

Now time to edit the video!
