Mimi joins Threadless!

Hello Threadless!

I wanted to introduce myself to everyone here in the Threadless universe. My name is Mimi, and I just joined the Threadless team as Artist Liaison, which means that I not only get to work with all you amazing artists, but I also get to help create new art programs and initiatives we will bring to the Threadless community. Basically, I'm now the go-to person for all things artist related. If your design gets chosen for print, you'll get an email from me. If you submit a design, I'll let you know whether or not it made it into the running. At the same time, if you have any question or concerns, problems or praise - I'm your girl. I'm here to help you guys as much as possible, so think of me as your person on the inside!

I am so honored to be working here at Threadless and hope to institute a myriad of fun, new opportunities for artists. Just to tell you a little about myself: I recently moved from New York City where I managed an international art gallery and coordinated special events with leading arts organizations for the last three years. I love traveling, learning about different cultures, and chai lattes. I am so pumped to be a part of the team and I can't wait to get to know everyone! If you have any questions, please shoot them my way. My email address is mimi@threadless.com and email me anytime!

:D

Mimi - in order for us to know you even better I've devised some more questions....



1. how did you get such a cool name?

2. Is it real or did you pick it yourself?

3. How much cooler are we than a stuffy fine art gallery (in dog years)

4. What are your favorite analogous colors?

5. What's the last picture book you read?

6. Do you prefer sandals or closed toed shoes?

7. Describe your life thus far only using two word sentences...okay you don't really have to, but I thought it was a funny idea.

8. Is that plenty?

Hi Chengui!



Nice Questions!



1. My older sister actually gave me that nickname. She couldn't say my real name because she was was just learning to talk at the time so she said "mimi."

2. Almost everyone calls me Mimi now, so it's pretty real to me!

3. Way, way cooler -- probably about 137 years.... so 959 dog years :D

4. I love warm colors so probably red and orange. Oooo that makes me want to sit my a fire and drink hot cocoa :D

5. Sadly, I can't remember :(

6. Closed toed shoes!!! I don't like how my feet look.

7. ok, let me try... fuzzy ballet. magnificent tomfoolery. exhilarating ride. fun frolic. ummm, spicy sauce? Oh man, this is hard...I need to practice on some mad libs for a while!

8. Send me some more ?'s...but first some for you...



a. If you saw a bear what would you do?

b. What is the name of your pet fish? (If you don't have one pretend you do!)

c. How many jumping jacks can you do in a minute?

d. What would your autobiography be titled?



:D

a. I have (not counting the zoo) and I slowly backed up until I reached the nearest shelter......then I threw rocks :) At the zoo I just point.

b. His name is.....uh.....Derek the finless wonder.

c. apparently 32....but now I'm gross and sweaty.

d. "Untitled: an artist's account of indecision"

e. Seven.

97. If you had the ability to stop time and still walk around, do you think you actually could or would the dust get in your way?

96. What's the first CD (or cassette) you ever bought? No lying to be cool, everybody's was pretty shameful :)

98. no, haha...have you?

97. I bet I could, but only if I was in a plastic bubble (for the dust issue), like John Travolta in the movie, "The Boy in the Plastic Bubble" from 1976. Woot!

96. Oh man, it was Mariah Carey's "Butterfly" album. I remember saving my allowance for weeks to get it!

95. AL-low, you?



Now some for you!

Okay. First of all, I can't believe you mentioned Boy in a Plastic Bubble because I bought that movie on VHS like two weeks ago from a thrift store because it looked so cool.....then I watched it.



m: Table Tennis - I'm not saying that to be funny, I seriously love it....and am excited to see how amped up it gets in China because it's huge there.



n: When I was a kid I wanted to be Jake from The Rescuers Down Under. But I think wanting to be is different from who I'd actually be....Stitch.



o: I tried to play guitar in a punk band when I was younger...we'll just call that a "no".



p: When I was like 9, this Hispanic kid who lived behind me sold me a cassette single of Dr. Dre. and Tag Team's - Whoomp There it Is. I had to hide them because of the naughty language. I believe the first album I bought on CD was No Doubt - Tragic Kingdom. Definitely could have been worse.



And yes I have jumped a car....I meant with the cables though, not with your feet.

Hi starr226, I have lots of favorites at the gallery, but if I had to pick one it would be Sohan Qadri. His work is enlightening and inspirational.
