| Introduction | The Dirt: I did choose the road less traveled. I traveled around the world and back to prove to myself that I CAN. One thing I won't deny - I walked that road holding my couture shoes in-hand. The path was muddy and I was willing to make any sacrifice for a life uncommon, but still wanted to keep my shoes pristine - because that's just me. I am fiercely feminine, a damn good jeweler designer, and I am hard to please. It takes a lot to impress me and I appreciate life's unexpected pleasures and oddities. My blog will document every person, every thing, and every idea that reminds me that "I am not afraid - I was born to do this." - Joan of Arc |

You've just inherited a manufacturing plant that specializes in plastics. What are you going to make?
Space Shuttles - the military always accepts the lowest bid. Think about it, everything important and dangerous - space shuttles, sattelites, atomic bombs are made by the winning lowest bid. Scary.
