While I was at Bridal Market this year, Mrs. Bee introduced me to a really neat concept that we wanted to share with the hive: video that can be displayed in print material, like in your wedding album. The technology, called My Video My Voice, is essentially a video screen so thin that can be incorporated into pretty much any print material you can think…

When our wedding month came around, we were hosting a lot of my extended family from Thailand. It’s not often that they’re able to make it to the U.S.; in fact, our wedding day marked the first time in over 10 years that all of my mom’s 5 sisters were in one place at one time, which is a big deal! Unfortunately, my dad and…

Our Badgely Mischka runway experience was really great! It was held right in their offices, in a small space with a double runway. The Mrs. Bee and I snagged seats right up front which offered a great view of all the dresses. I sat next to Colin Cowie! Badgely Mischka was debuting their Spring 2010 line here, and while most collections we viewed this week…

It was held at the Eyebeam Atelier, and it had a double runway setup, which was nice because it maximized visibility for the attendants. Mrs. Bee and I scored great seats right up front with Anne-Marie from Perfect Bound and Kelly from Santa Barbara Chic. Anne-Marie was in the first seat, so she got the…
