WEBISODE 10: Brown Betty

I love doing the webisodes and I am truly happy with all of them, but this has to be one of favorites. It was really great talking with Norrinda and Linda Brown of Brown Betty Dessert Boutique and learning about how they used secret family recipes to create a thriving business. And thriving business indeed. They recently opened a new location—a cupcake-only store, Brown Betty Petite, on 20th and Manning just off of Rittenhouse Square. So a big congrats to them. Maybe they'll go national so all of you can indulge in their wonderful treats every week like I do.

I hope you enjoy this webisode as much as I loved working on it. Oh and here is the youtube link just in case you cannot view it below. Special thanks to Brown Betty Dessert Boutique owners Norrinda and Linda Brown, and big thanks to John Kenower who does amazing work putting these webisodes together.

This Week

WEBISODE 10: Brown Betty

Next week I will be posting Fly's 10th webisode which features the best bakery in Philadelphia, Brown Betty Dessert Boutique. The bakery is run by a mother-daughter team who shares family dessert recipies with fellow Philadelphians. These photos are just a little sneak peak of what's to come. Be sure to check back for Webisode 10 and check out 1-9 here.

Webisode 9: NIC*FISH

As promised webisode number 9 is here! I had the pleasure of meeting up with Philly designer, Nicole Fisher of NIC*FISH to check out her latest collection. She has a wonderful sense of style, her work is amazing and she is extremely cool. Check out the video below, or visit my YouTube page to see the webisode. See more of her pieces here.

Thanks Nicole for sharing your time and your beautiful work! Thanks again John for your amazing skills!

Another Webisode...

WEBISODE 8: Topstitch Boutique

Even if you're looking for it you might miss it. Topstitch Boutique is located on a busy street but you must go up a set of stairs to see the goodness that lies within. When Rakia and I went to shoot our webisode we found that the goodness also leaked out onto the sidewalk for a good old fashioned sidewalk-sale. It was too fun and I finally got a romper out of this shopping excursion (yeeeesss!!). You can see it below or click here to check it out or visit my youtube page.  

Thank you Tina for sharing your voice and a big thanks to John Kenower for trekking all the way down to Philly to help me out. Rakia aka "Rocky Jo" thanks, girl!

Webisode 7: Punk Rock Flea Market 2008

Rakia and I had so much fun at the Punk Rock Flea Market last year that we had to go again and shoot another webisode. This time it was mega hot, temperature-wise (you can see my face glowing with sweat!), but that didn't keep us from exploring the many tables of vintage clothing, artwork and jewelry. Sadly, something happened with the video and some of our footage was erased so our video this time around is short. But hopefully you'll get some fun out of it. If you have a hard time seeing it here check it out on youtube. Special thanks to Brian for shooting and editing for us.
 

Oh and people always ask "what's punk rock about the market?" I have no idea. That's just what it's called and that's all I know.

Webisode 6: Nicole Rae Styer

A little over a year ago I came across Nicole's pieces at a trunk show and was very intrigued. As I mentioned before her designs are sweet, feminine and flirty, you can tell she has fun working on her creations. I thought it would be cool to see her space and find out what inspires her creative process.

So I must say I was a little spoiled by the wonderful production team I had in New York, this time around I was the camerawoman, audio-mixer, producer, editor, and PA — HA!! Working on this has given me an even higher level of respect and appreciation for the folks who work behind the scenes. I hope you enjoy what I was able to put together. If you have any difficulties viewing the footage click here to see it on youtube. Check out Nicole's myspace page to see more of these photos. Music credits: Arrastao by Andre Penazzi
