Comments on: Thanks Kate! http://www.fashion-incubator.com/archive/thanks_kate/ How to start a clothing line or run the one you have, better.

Ask anyone who works with reporters and editors, and you do everything you can and pray that the credits are right:) Now if you go around insulting people, who is going to want to write about you, or if they do, showcase you in a positive light? Sure it's easy to write her off as a writer for the [deleted], but reporters move around... and they share info with each other... BTW, it's not uncommon for people to suggest that if you have a name that is commonly misspelled (or company name) to also buy the misspelled domain and/or target the common misspelling by using it in your SEO tactics. Not getting ones name right in the media is downright b#llsh*t, I agree…I think she should send you $1000 for being such an unconscious idiot.

I designed and constructed costumes for the entire college cast of Midsummer Night's dream. Fairy wings and all, and when the program came back from the printer, my first name was misspelled. Even though I had given them reams of correspondence and bills for reimbursement with the correct spelling of Debra. No one knows me by Deborah! I recently had the same experience.

There are other examples on my blog where I do give the correct spelling, I'm glad that my idiocy did prove useful in some respect :-) Sorry I didn’t get it right Kathleen!

It's amazing that you had to go through that much work for a media journalist!! I will be proudly showing that article to many of my design proteges, many of whom I have told to sign up for your newsletter. Interestingly I have a couple of dress forms left from my manufacturing business, that I had made directly by Wolf in 1976. They were for models size 10. Today, in some workshops I do with young designers, I now call them SIZE 6!!! Thanks, as always, for great stuff. I wasn't surprised that you were the foundation for that article. Best wishes, Shirley Hi Kathleen,

Especially since you friggin helped her! It's about the same as having your name mis-pronounced at your very own funeral. Except you are still alive. Just think how much time you will spend now, having to correct everyone. "No, Just one 'S'." Having a last name of Greek origin, I deal with this issue full time, so I feel for you. I think she should send you $1000 for being such an unconscious idiot. It's so offensive. Just hope she doesn't win the Pewlotsur for it.

It's practically a phonetic pronunciation of your name (with a slight lisp). :) I think Fashionella would be a wonderful take on your name for the name of a clothing (or pattern) line.

I love it! It's great. Is it too late to change my name? I get called Katherine all the time. Sometimes Kathy. My husband doesn't even call me Kathy. I'm not lovable enough to use a diminutive :) Fashionella! I love it! It’s great. Is it too late to change my name?

The reporter's reputation will suffer -- not you. I think that you will be amazed at how many people will find you regardless of the misspelling. The reporter’s reputation will suffer — not you.
