We were recently invited to appear again on Good Morning Texas, a live morning program serving the DFW metroplex.
Before you watch it, I have to give a disclaimer. I’m not really that chubby. At least not in my mind. After thinking about it for a while I realized that I only see myself standing in front of a mirror. I never, thankfully, look at myself seated on a bar stool. It is quite the challenge to look fantastic seated on a bar stool on live TV. I hope when Oprah invites us to be on her show we sit on the couch, not bar stools.
So if you want to look good during an interview, at happy hour, or while on TV, please learn from my experience and do the sit test in front of a mirror.
Thankfully the models look fantastic, and so will you in your Carissa Rose white shirts, which are by far our best sellers. In this video our Carissa Shirt is featured in Lemon Drop, our new cream for spring. And the last shirt in the video is Irina and she’s new for us. She’s available to order now with an April 1 delivery date.
Behind the Scenes – Carissa Rose Launch
In the middle of November we had the Carissa Rose launch photo shoot. Below are some pictures from the full day of shooting. Notice how tall the model is compared to the stylists. Yes, she has on very high heels which put her height well over six feet tall. Model stature is giraffe-like, and I mean that in the best possible way. Have you ever seen a giraffe walk? It is one of the most stately and elegant things in nature.
The pictures of the dress on the stool looked a little like Victoria’s Secret to me, not really the brand identity we’re going for. As you know we target the woman whose bust is bigger than the bras VC carries, but the dress pictures without the stool are some of my favorite pictures from the day.
I can’t believe the developer is putting this picture of my husband kissing me on our new home page! I’m not wearing a stitch of make-up, not that I normally do. But if I knew I was going to be photographed, I’d put some make-up on my face! At least my husband is more than good looking to compensate for me being au natural.
We’re super excited about our new website and brand coming in early 2010. I hope all women with large breasts looking for button-down shirts give us a try! We’ll knock their socks off, but keep their shirts securely buttoned.
P.S. Dallas Child Magazine published a “Day in the Life” article about me, just in case you’ve ever wanted to know what I do during the day. I lead a very exciting life.
In the print edition they misspelled my name with an E instead of an I – CarEssa Brown, with our new clothing line as Caressa Rose.
The editor, who apologized profusely, explained that the mommy featured in Fort Worth Child was Caressa, so I too became Caressa. I understand, everyone makes mistakes and Carissa is a hard name. If I had a dime for all the times I’ve been called Clarissa. UGH.
