As far as the Dallas Shaw box, I am a little annoyed by her blog post. She is giving people a piece of her art that can't afford it through that drawing on the top of the Glossybox?! Really?!

Yeah I read that too, I thought that was a bit stuck up? Maybe that's not the right word, but it definatly didn't sit right with me.

I kinda wish they would stop putting out these special edition boxes (seems like they are doing it monthly!) and get their stuff together to make their monthly boxes run more smoothly.

This!!!! My first thought on the bridal email was "really?" They can't get their act together on the monthly boxes. And I dread to know how many times they'll change the contents of this box before it actually ships out.

I, too, thought the comment about affording a piece of Ms. Shaw's art was a bit offputting. She makes it sound like the normal person is simply beneath her. If I was her and thought that people "couldn't afford" her art, then maybe releasing a couple of inexpensive prints would do wonders for her pocketbook.

Wait... I'm talking sense, I need to stop.

That is exactly what I was thinking, I just couldn't word it right!

I especially detested the "I see you" remark she put in parenthesis....seriously?? That's a whole lot of attitude for someone with 5,000 twitter followers..

Ok, I'm going to be mean, because this crap is just irritating me.

I don't consider sloppy fashion illustrations the kind of art I want to display in my home. That'd be like an architect hanging blueprints up. To me, this stuff looks like student work. I work in the fashion industry, and I think it's weird that someone who is not a designer would be drawing things like this to begin with. 

Maybe I'm wrong, and I've never met her, but everything I hear or see from her seems pretentious.  Is this the spoiled brat special edition?  Come on.  Her entire website is like "look at all of the pictures of me and all of my expensive things!", and she calls herself the "It-Girl Illustrator".  

It might be the GIANT SIGNATURE she puts on everything. Let the work speak for itself, without your massive logo on it. 

Ok, /end rant. Thanks for listening, lol.

LOL, oh my god. SO true.

 

[smiletorismile]

What exactly is her brand? Is it just her illustrations? That's what I gathered from her Glossybox post, but I'm not sure.

It’s incredibly gracious of Ms. Shaw to allow her illustration to go on a paper box, for all those poor souls whose biggest dream in life is to own a piece of her art. I especially love that she made her signature enormous, so that we can show off our boxes off to our jealous friends. No longer will we have to print her images off on our inkjet printers at home, for we will now have real, original Dallas Shaw artwork (in printed box form) to hand down to our grandchildren. Why, if you invest in several boxes, that’ll even pay for their university tuition by the time they’re old enough to go. Thank you Ms. Shaw! Thank you!

<smirk> LOL! Guess I'll hang that box lid next to the Monet in the foyer.

FYI, just chatted on the Bondi website with a real, live human named Chris. Not sure if this has been mentioned already, but I asked him if they would still be releasing the Glossybox colors, and he said:

"We are producing them without the illustration and signature and they will be available for a reduced price in mid to late July". 

Yessssss!  Those colors were awesome. Also, their live chat situation is incredible, I had nit-picky questions and Chris answered me and even gave me some further info about the company. Apparently if you're not happy with a polish, you can return it (they just don't cover the return shipping). He said "We want you to love the polish you buy. Who likes spending $12.50 on something they aren't happy with? Heck, you could get a margarita for that!"  He even humored me when I asked his opinion on which of two polishes I should get, hah!

LOVE these guys. Could not care less about an illustration and a giant signature on a bottle. Can't wait for the new colors to be released!
