That New New

Things change. We can either embrace it, or let opportunities pass us by. We cannot argue that our society has entered into an era where technology thrives. However, we do make a fuss about what areas of these technological advances will make the cut and which will die out. Websites alone are necessary, but your social media presence on the internet is vital to your growth and survival. It allows people to see who you are from wherever they may be. Not in a creepy way, but in a fashion to where they can see that you are a legitimate person or business by interaction with customers or clients. There are strategies that go along with social media and if you’re smart and business savvy, you will look to an outside source to manage this for you. It’s as simple as this: People do this for a living, which makes them professionals. The same reason we hire attorneys to keep our butt out of jail, surgeons when our brains are on the fritz, and Crocodile Dundee when we explore the Australian Outback.

We have reached the future of marketing and advertising and now it is evolving on a daily basis. Let your business spread its wings and fly with Phoenix Blue. It’s either that, or chill amongst the Dodo Birds on the rocks… and we all know how that story ended.

Blue Looks Good On You

As a company, Phoenix Blue is all about investing in the community and that means on all levels. JD and myself have had many discussions on how important it is to our hearts that we make individual sacrifices to show love towards others. There is nothing more gratifying on Earth, than to see a smile spread across someones face and knowing you had something to do with it. This, my friend, is beauty to the core.

Here recently, I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a meeting held by the Lexington Fashion Collaborative. LFC is a non-profit organization  made up of all sorts of artists who have the passion and gall to show their creativity through design and fashion. Hairstylists, Make-up Artists, Photographers, Designers, Models, and anyone aspiring to do something within the fashion world meet collectively and discuss the upcoming events and whatever is on their minds, really. As soon as I walked in and and strutted my stuff across the wooden floor of the Lexington Arts Center, I was greeted with the smiles and waves of friends and strangers alike. I listened to everyone introducing themselves, and as they explained what they do… some with day jobs and some full time into fashion. Everyone seemed excited to talk about themselves, except for my beautiful friend Keisha who was sick and kinda sounded like Justin Bieber, so I followed suit and talked about Phoenix Blue and how I love fashion and football (unusual combo, I know lol). After we all had finished talking about ourselves and bragging politely about how awesome we are, we got down to business… talking about how we could HELP each other as the fashion community and how we could help others that were less fortunate around us. I loved the vibe that was buzzing about the room and how thick the atmosphere had filled with the love and compassion that we are built to express. Ideas flew around as hands shot up and people spoke their minds… never to mention their own needs, but to what was needed by others. It was absolutely amazing and it made my heart super happy.

 ”For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, ³⁶ I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.”

Phoenix Blue will be supporting the LFC in any way or fashion (lol) possible and we would like to encourage you to do so as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to Email us or go to the website of the Lexington Fashion Collaborative or contact them via Facebook .
