2009 Accolades
“I now know why this girl is so successful. She’s smart and she just ‘gets’ it. Yes, I said that.” - Jessica Gottlieb (@jessicagottlieb)
On Hot Pink: #5. Not just me talking. Just got off the blower with a Marketing Director for 1928 Jewelry <Macala> who confirms that loud pinks are way, way trendy. Only the brightest pinks—ones that officially trigger migraines—count for this trend. If there is no ocular hallucination, it is not fashion. E! Online – via Leslie Gornstein,@AnswerBitch
I’m the dead creature lady; my fashion is bizarre, sometimes hideous. It provokes and alienates. It’s a bright carapace, in a way. But you compliment me, your tastes accentuate me. It’s why I love you. – AV Flox, Pop Culture Blogger, OMG.OMG.OMFG.
“Macala Wright & her website, Fashionably Marketing Me offers some incredible fundamentals for building a strong social brand.” – The List Maven, Splendicity.com
