Hello all

You are the first to know, Marikit has been really enterprising for a 6 month-old baby and will shotly be launching the first of 2 businesses. www.marikitcouture.com

Actually, I'm launching the first business in her name. Those who know me know that I like to dabble at a nuimber of things such as designing clothes. Pia and I have now put together our first collection. Check it out and let us know what you think. So far I've uploaded my shirts and suits, other items such as belts, cuff-links, socks will follow shortly. I'm happy to say that I 'm using many of the Philippines-based suppliers that service some of the biggest fashion brands in the world.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you my extended family members know why we've been quiet of recent.

All the best!!

Opps! Forgot to address the model search bit in the title. We're currently seeking models for a 'tacky' lifestyle sht which my Fashion Business Adviser thinks is essential. I cannnot imagine walking up to a lady in the sreet and declaring how attractive she is and would she like to do a spot of modelling. I'm sure many women have heard that line before.

Similarly, me telling bloke that he has great shoulders and bone structure...methinks not!
