despite War TV, earthquakes and deadbodies in the street.... we are getting orders from the catalog mailing. this is good.

hooray patty! now where's my fucking catalog?

your on the list. oh wait....i think the "friends" batch goes out this week. three batches. "press" "retailers" "friends"

well! i see!

Yeah I'm still waiting too... Seen the one TBone got... Waiting for mine so I can order some stuff.

I see how it is...we "friends" are last...

i dunno the wifey is puttin this shit together. if it were up to me, they would have been in the mail a long damn time ago.... don't ask. unless our friends intend to buy 2 dozen of each style and size....yes, you will always get mailed last.

Hmmmmmm... High paying customers first. Regular paying customers next. Friends next. Your husband's internet friends whom he's never met in person and regularly insults....last? Sounds like good business sense to me. :P

shut your fucking hole. bitch. yes its purely business. thank you come again.

I can feel the love... And hey wait a minute, if I were to purchase something wouldn't I be a regular paying customer too??? or do we get some sort of special discount no one's told me about? Damnit....

i want a catalog. for my first piece of mail at my new house. other than union mailings.

friends get wholesale

"Wholesale"...loving? My favourite kind.

Cool, wholesale rules over resale.

or retail. retail = shit fuck "buh-bye" "thank you" lingo. have you ever noticed, that anyone working in a service positin, whether it be retail, driving a bus or volunteering at a hospital, doesn't say good bye the same way? not "good bye" "bye-bye" or even "bye". it's "buh-bye" 90% of the time. and saying "thank you" for everything. like today. i took a message for one of mes roomies and said thank you afterward. what is this world coming to?????? is there anything in the catalog for overly tall somewhat bike punk girlies?

Hi Cat.

What kinds of things are in the catalog Patty? If you get commission for sales from the catalog, I'd be happy to order some stuff. I'm a catalog-shopping junkie. You may not need/want any of my business but I am serious.

Hey, send me one.

Sweaters I think Dani.

my wife is a sweater designer. she started a label. ergo catalog. pez....since when did you become "punk"? the garments are basic. simplistic. you'll see.

Yeah they look really cool, not that I have a catalog of my own, but one will be on the way when Patrick and his wife get some time, I understand fullwell that its a busy life, I remember your story of vegas...

Vegas is one of the last places I'd want to be right now.

the should be in today or tomorrows mail folks.

i want one sillyass.

email me your addy again, i think i misplaced it hon.

somewhat. i'm not a full on raging blue haired mohawk combat boot punk. more like a bike punk, because i don't drive anymore and i try to say exactly what i mean. i said somewhat because it'll take awhile to shake off the ropes my family has looped around my neck. i respect the ideals. to end the chains of culture which are completely unnessessary, to live life with a passion. saying that, i could be just about anything. i am going to design and knit a nosewarmer.

i want one too. i should really make a list of all your email addresses. again. fucken computer crashes

punk is not just an attitude problem, a music selection, or a political view....further, a fashion statement. based on the trends i saw at MAGIC...punk fashion is hip.

Its clothes, its music, its attitude, its a group of people. You need all to be one with the force of punkness.

I think the most important thing about "Punk" as a cultural aspect of western society is mindset. You can look like a punk but not think like one (for example, nazi punks). Conversely, you can not look like a punk but think as one (Pez, perhaps). Pez, just want to compliment you, actually, your posts recently have been very thoughtful and good to read. Not that they weren't good to read before, but you know. What have you been reading lately?

zines, the newspaper, anthropology texts (not textbooks, but books of my own choosing) and fairy tales. i know punk is "hip" right now, but to buy clothing from a major store "pre-punked" is not punk. it is sexist, overpriced, capitalist bullshit. if i wanted to look punk i'd shave a lot of hair and spike it with glue and kool-aid, buy boy's shirts at $2-3 dollars a pop and customize them myself. make my own jewelry out of shrinky dinks. a lot of the punk mindset is based on the d.i.y. ethic, something would benifit any and all who believe in it.

i agree sem....im glad you got out of your house pez. your tone sounds refreshed. im glad you're living a little, experiencing some things....being exposed to many different ideas. whether literally on a college campus or not, you and your peers are a collage campus so to speak regardless.

"collage" campus. i'd imagine the spelling was unintentional, but i like the way it appears. so far today, i've discussed middle eastern combind with electronic music, drawn and practised ballet. who says that's not an education? it's sorta rough and tumble, but it's a lot of fun, learning new things, exploring, running around outside without getting heckled... enjoyable.

heh. yeah it was, but it turned out ok. im a dope that way.

so? sometimes being a dope is cool.

there you have it folks Pez is away from home I mean look what she just said ( yes I know this is out of context.) "...dope is cool."

HAL! you fucking inane shortfellow! if you weren't in montana and if i weren't carless, i'd go over and smak you. maybe i will anyway. catch a greyhound to missoula, find you, give you a good whack across the back of your head, then take the greyhound back home. sounds like a plan?

If your up to it, I'll give you a free swing.

bwahahahaha. you know my email addy.

Just a follow up to this thread, and I suppose this would be a potential spam, though its not my intentions. This is actually the first time i too have seen this entire list, so I thought Id share. the wife's garb is available at the following places. The spring items are out. We are shooting the summer catalog at this time and Ive seen the samples for the winter collection. They look ten times better than the spring goods. Its been a year to date since the inception of Mille Nico and so far so good. Its been rough and we still arent in the clear but goods are made, in stores and future items are in the works.

Hey! I've been by the Trashy Diva! Actually, I think that several of us walked by it at sorabjifest I.

my sister lives in new braunfels. i'll tell her to go to the outfitters place and buy mille nico products.

Well aside from the fact that I just lost my fucking job... None of those places are even CLOSE... But thats ok I still have the catolog... I might find something again.

don't feel like you have to buy anything, really. that wasnt my intent. it was really more of affirmation to myself.

no seattle hookups? that's absolutely shameful. i never got a catalog... email me, patrick.

we mailed about 500 boutiques, nationwide. Many in Seattle. Since i don't do the sales work myself, i can't really explain the abscence just yet. We have a sales rep that deals with Portland/SF/Seattle corridor so we aren't ingoring the region. Right now, as we establish more and more and it seems the smaller to medium sized market boutiques are willing to give a new line a chance. Inner city, uppity, snooty poopy boutiqes are more leary of fly by night new designers. I do know that Fred Segal in LA and Anna Sui in NYC have expressed interest in the line, so thats a good thing.

you just lost your job, hal????? i'm sorry.

I never got my catty either. *pout*

oh poo i need a fucking website. wait i have this crappy one i made. here. everything on the catalog is right here. http://www.geocities.com/millenicosweaters/spring02

Oh what a fuckblini. Can't you get anything right Patrick? The correct link

you've actually patronized that place havent you cat?

I had to find Antigone's birthday present somewhere.

I never got any headscrape from you, dear...
