Mattise Sheena’s Weekly Rant – You’re Cut Off!
by JULIA
I heard about this little show with Matisse a while back and since it has finally been announced Sheena can spill a little bit of the details! I think they should have made Sheena the star and documented her instead of a whole bunch of spoiled girls, but what do I know about good TV….I don’t even have one! Anyway, I am looking forward to seeing the show and hopefully it will boost sales for our dear friends! Th…

Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant: My Pet Peeve
by Matisse Sheena
I thought I was asking for it when I gave Sheena this topic, but it turns out that I totally agree with her and I must say that this is also my biggest pet peeve! People need to learn to love what they do and love their life or do something different. I know it is easier said than done, but if I can do it, so can anyone else!! I talk to people all the time who just don’t want to do what they are doing, but won’t make the chan…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant – CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN – WHAT THE F@$%*??
by Matisse Sheena
Wackadoodle!!! When Sheena told me that she wanted to write about the Christian Louboutin article featured in Vanity Fair magazine this week, I had not read it yet. She said it was controversial, which for Sheena to say meant it must be good, er uh well bad. Well as I was traveling this week (sorry for the hiatus from writing during this time) I decided to pick up a copy in the Miami airport heading back to NYC and let me t…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant – DINNER MEETINGS
by Matisse Sheena
Sheena has been a total slacker lately and got this to me a day late again, but oh well. What are we going to do with her?? I have to agree with Sheena that dinner meetings really should only be used as a fun light outlet to establish relationships….I cannot say I have been to one myself where any major decisions were made…usually as the drinks come rather than discussing business, people start exchanging f…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant: WHAT MAKES A GREAT BOSS, GREAT?
by Matisse Sheena
I gave Sheena this topic because I know for a fact she has a great boss! Michael Katz, is one hell of a guy and he truly cares about the people around him which is very apparent and rare. I haven’t even known him that well for that long and his kindness to me personally has been amazing. So anyway, I just wanted to say that and while she doesn’t mention him personally I know she is referring to him on all positive…
Sheena Weekly Rant – Rewind!!
by JULIA
Sheena rocking her Julia Veli accents and notice her pearls! Awe she loves me. I forgot, once again to give Sheena a topic this week, so I thought I would list a few of my favorite articles of hers! There have been some good ones! She is one funny girl and I love her blunt honesty….appreciate it even. So check out some of my favorites and if you are bored (shouldn’t be if you are at work haha) then go through more o…
Sheena’s Weekly Rant – What does it take to get some good press??
by JULIA
Happy Monday! Enjoy this edition of Sheena’s weekly rant…a bit late but better than never! We’ve missed her! Every company wants good press and it seems like the best way to get it is to shell out the big bucks. I have to say coming from outside the industry learning the way things work from the mind of a consumer, I was definitely disappointed and in fact felt lied to by the way the press works. Most pos…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant, Sheena Interrupted
by Matisse Sheena
Sorry we are a day late….hopefully you remember my apology. Last week when we were pondering what Sheena’s topic would be, she mentioned something about being a crazy person, which made me think of the movie Girl Interrupted. I personally think she is more like Angelina Jolie’s character, but don’t tell her I said that! lol Anyways, we are all crazy….some of us just hide it better a…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant-Zalloween
by JULIA
The Matisse Crew – Hilarious! I don’t have a whole lot to say about this except that it’s hilarious! ….so sad I missed it! Sheena looks amazing as a white trash mamma!! Sounds like everyone had fun and leave it to Zappos to through such a fun event. Maybe next year shoebizness will sponsor a hole! ZALLOWEEN Halloween has come and gone, but my photos last forever… So, we sponsored a hole at the Za…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant – Home Shopping and Beyond
by Matisse Sheena
It seems we have a home shopping theme this week! Who knew Sheena would be the next up and coming home shopping TV personality?!? She really is great at it! I on the other hand would be horrible at selling anything on camera. I think it’s important to be confident about what you are good at AND what you suck at and I suck at doing anything on camera. I don’t know what it is, but I just freeze up and get weird. haha …
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant-The Bitter Buyer; A Closer Look
by Matisse Sheena
I knew I was asking for it this week when I told Sheena that we needed to spice up her rants a little bit. I have been giving her topics that have made her be a little too nice which I know she is not totally comfortable with. My question to her this week was…”what has been irritating you about the industry?” I knew better! lol Now, You all know I am all about being positive and what I LOVE about Sheena is tha…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant-Best Marketing Campaign
by JULIA
Sheena bragging to her co-worker about her new Shape-Ups and her tight bum. I swear my friend Rebo must have paid Sheena in martini’s to write this article. She swears that it’s the honest truth and I suppose Sheena does not have the reputation for being a liar. haha Ok ok….I will believe her! I totally agree with her too because I have probably tagged Rebo (he is the marketing manager for the brand) i…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant-MAGIC and the Predator Manufacturers
by Matisse Sheena
Welcome back to the reality of the work week…I hope everyone enjoyed their beloved day off!! I know I did and I have a little pink on my nose to prove it. Sheena’s rant is about a great topic this week and one I did not understand until I sat in a booth for a bit during SMOTA last year. I have always thought it was kind of stupid for brands to be so secretive about what they show, but as I observed a few intere…
Matisse Sheena’s Weekly Rant, August WSA….Love it or Hate it??
by Matisse Sheena
Memories!!! This is the first day I met Sheena!! Okay, I suppose I gave Sheena this topic because I am a little sad that I will not be attending WSA this year. I have gone to every WSA for the last few years and while I know that it is not what it used to be, it is still an anticipated trip of my summer. I will miss for just a tiny little minute, being so hot that I feel like my feet are melting into the pavement, wandering from one si…
