My personal call w/Fashion Mogul Daymond John....Founder of FUBU!

Hey...it's been a few days but I'm back and have some GREAT news to share from this past weekend. Not only did I enjoy myself in tha "A" but I received a call from someone I look up to in the fashion game, Mr. Daymond John, founder of FUBU and current shark on the hottest show out right now, ABC's Shark Tank.

A little FYI....I was a SEMI-FINALIST for this show but don't worry L.DASIA will represent on Shark Tank next go-round, let's hope for a Season 2.

I won a challenge from Daymond and all I can say is that the advice/consulting he gave me during our phone call was PRICELESS. Here's the actual message from the contest:

THANKS EVERYBODY! 10th person 2 tweet @6pm sharp EST IS ----> @LDasia_LA !I will DM U. i will call 2 ppl 2morrow on Shark tank questions!

Usain Bolt shatters WORLD RECORD...9.58!

I want to see this guy in the NFL! Call it speed and that's an understatement. Usain Bolt ran a 9.58 in the 100 meters, shattering his OWN record.

What's really crazy is I think Usain Bolt can break this record. Sky's the limit for him as he's in his early 20's.

How'd You Get So Rich.....I like this show!

After finishing my meal from Chilli's I was channel surfing and came across this new show that I've been hearing about called "How'd You Get So Rich" hosted by Joan Rivers. Joan Rivers is crazy and by that I mean funny.

The concept behind the show is to see how people amassed their fortunes, how they became millionaires. Joan Rivers approaches people on the street and asks the infamous line, "How's You Get So Rich" and a majority of the people would let her know while very few told her "that's a personal question" and speed off in their Ferrari...lol.

Stories ranged from individual starting their own chain of hotels, worked for a major coporation then branched into their own and some stated they just married into money. Below are a few pics, and one day Joan may ask me 'How'd You Get So Rich'

Taye: I started out as the Assistant of a video/movie director here in Atlanta, and I met her because the project we worked on, Diamond was a main character on the production and when it came to her, I displayed myself to be very determined because she was not interested in doing the project, and she seen my drive and my dedication and with that she hired me on the spot at the wrap party.

ldasiaclothing.com: Describe a typical day on the job?

Taye: A typical day on the job is waking up at 5am replying to tons of emails and sending out contracts to different promoters, setting appointments for Diamond and interviews and hosting meetings for promotional ideas for her also and that's just from 5am-noon. I'm very hands on in everything she does because she trust my judgment, and she knows that I will only tell her or steer here in the right direction, being a assistant is a very demanding job, and its a 24/7 cycle.
