Let me introduce myself...

Another blog, another attempt to chronicle my life via the web. I guess I'll start out by introducing myself.
My name is Chelsea Tavis, but I'm better known on the web as Tragic Glamour. At the moment, I'm 19 yrs old, finishing college at FIDM, the fashion institute of design and merchandising in San Francisco, where I'll be receiving my AA in Graphic Design, and I do some things on the side. Okay, A LOT of things. I started my own clothing line in May of 2006 called C.TA Glam Couture. Right now it basically consists of graphic tees, but as soon as i get the funding I'll be expanding. I'll be producing my own couture designs that will be made to custom fit the buyer, and after that, I'll "fill in the gap" and start producing clothing I design from scratch.
The skies not exactly the limit for me, it's more of the goal. I plan to have this clothing line filled with stuff I design personally. Clothing, accessories, jewelry, etc... To further introduce it to the world, other than online, which is where i sell my stuff now at www.cafepress.com/ctaglamcouture, i plan to open my own boutique. In this boutique i want to feature my own line as well as other lines i love by designers that compliment my line. In this boutique i will introduce my couture creations and feature a couture section where buyers will be fitted for their couture purchases. I personally can't wait to get this going, but I'm building my empire online in the meantime until the economy gets somewhat better.
I took graphic design because i was interested in it and i knew i would need it to help further my business. I want to be able to do everything for my business so that the vision i want to portray is truly mine and not of a third party. I do the photography for my clothing line, as well as on the side for models, bands and sometimes just for fun. In those photo shoots i do all the makeup, unless the model prefers to do their own and i also do makeup for many photographers across the Bay Area as a freelance job.
As you can see, i don't stick to one "pool". I like to dip my feet in a little of everything. Most people say i do too much, but it's never enough for me. That's a good thing business wise, but bad in the long run, since i need to tell myself to slow down sometimes.
I guess that's enough of an intro for right now, keep looking back and follow me along to learn more about me as i take my steps, creating my own career and building a Tragic Glamour Empire.
