GOODMORNING CRUSADERS

This company needs some good ol' fashioned Robert Heinlein inspiration. Robert Heinlein has been considered the King of sci-fi related literature with more stories written then I care to count. He once wrote that "Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done. One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen". 

I cannot tell you have many times we come across WALLS at SlideBelts. It seems that there are never a shortage of people telling us how things should be done and what is or is not possible. Then you guys go ahead and do the impossible anyways. That's pretty inspiring in and of itself! So let's continue to inspire, continue to break down walls, and continue to be the badarse Crusaders we all know that we can be. 

That is all!

Hi everyone, crazy animal lady here, and today we’re talking about ferrets! These stinky creatures are seriously the best pets you can ever hope to have, they’re that perfect balance between puppies and kittens!

I had two of these slinky, stinky creatures – Minnie and Cooper… Minnie was named after Minnie Mouse and Cooper joined the family a couple years later, right after we bought a Mini Cooper. A stroke of genius, I know! Here are some awesome things I learned about ferrets:

1 – They need a LOT of space. This goes for all animals, but ferrets are energetic (well, not Minnie) creatures and they need a lot of play time! Minnie and Cooper loved when we’d let them roam free around the house while we kept close supervision but Minnie’s favorite thing was to come out of her cage, play for a little, and fall asleep on the couch.

2 - The Ferret has become the third most popular pet in the US behind cats and dogs. Obviously... They're the best things ever!

3 -  Lost your remote lately? Your car keys? Stealing and hiding objects is part of the ferret’s natural instincts. Minnie and Cooper used to always take things to a specific hiding spot and it was always fun to see what they had gathered.

4 – Dooking. Yes, you read that right! “Dooking” is the sound a ferret makes, generally out of excitement! Cooper would follow his dooks with intense body sways while standing on his hind legs and would end his manic attack with a jump. :)

A HUGE shoutout to the C-Team on this one... you guys killed it! This past Thursday and Friday we shot our spring/summer collections in Sacramento... and this time we did it all in-house! From scouting locations, picking models, getting permits, shooting, planning the shots, managing/assisting on set, etc etc... and so much more. We pulled it off with flying colors... and I'm stoked to be apart of such an amazing team. And I'm really excited for everyone to see the new imagery!!

Also a big shoutout to Gabby for letting Piper make her modeling debut!
