Nikita Senorita Photoshoot Contest!!

Hola!  Nikita is already planning the next photoshoot for the Spring Summer 2011 look book.  Packing up and heading out on April 23rd, 2010, the Nikita crew and team will be hitting up North West Mexico.  If you feel you got the look or want to recommend a friend because you think ‘she’s got the look’ like Swedish pop duo Roxette sang in the late 80’s, then now is the time to reveal who you are and rápido!

Nikita is offering two places for two special senoritas to feature as models in the forthcoming prized look book for next Spring Summer’s streetwear collection.  You will be picked from the piñata, contacted and flown out to join everyone on the shoot.  Only enter if you’re free to travel from April 23rd to May 8th 2010!

Sophia Metzler (Germany), Angelisa Hollick (Canada) and Stefanie Suchy (Germany) entered the last contest and found themselves on location with Nikita in New Orleans.  Their photos will feature in next season’s Winter 2010 / 2011 look book and you can check out some photos of them on the shoot here – www.nikitaclothing.com/events.

Marvels of Modern Medicine

I went in for ankle surgery last Wednesday and I’m happy to report the surgery was really successful!  Thanks so much to Dr. Clanton and the rest of the staff at Steadman Hawkins who helped me!  Thanks to my Mom, Dad, Dylan, Ian and Paige for taking care of me all week!  And thanks to all of you for the support!  It’s been a huge help.

The procedure Dr. Clanton did was pretty incredible.  They went in arthroscopically, cleaned up some torn cartilage and micro-fractured the bad bone underneath the bad cartilage.  Basically, he drilled tiny holes in the bone so that blood from the marrow came up, and stem cells from that marrow blood could grow new, healthy bone and cartilage.  While he was in there, he also found and took out a floating piece of cartilage, a bunch of inflamed tissue, and a rare “accessory” (extra and useless) ligament.  Supposedly I’m going to feel like a new person when I’m all healed up!  I’m so excited for this new beginning!

Since the surgery, I’ve been mostly sleeping, although the last few days I’ve been awake more and more.  I have to say I think I’m incredibly lucky because I haven’t been in much pain at all, but I’m finally starting to get some cabin fever.  I guess now is the time for me to break out the list of projects I want to do while I’m down…  There’s a lot on there including learning a song on the piano, getting involved with Protect Our Winters (a non-profit organization raising awareness about global warming), and teaching my dogs a new trick every week.  AND documenting it all here : )

I have my post-op appointment today so I’ll report back soon with new news.
