Obviously Thaidye was fast to get some samples out to New York. Soon thereafter it became obvious that the next round had been reached when the request for the official name, web site and contact info came in.

And then it really happened – the June issue 2010 featured Iron Man 2 actress Kate Mara, modeling “8 Easy Pieces – This Summer’s Essentials” and they are pretty, relaxed, and ready for a good time – Just like you! (Women’s Health’s words – not mine!)

In case you wonder what these 8 Easy pieces are – here you go…

1. Peasant Blouse
2. Skinny Cargos
3. Corset Sundress
4. Raffia Accessories
5. Paper Bag Shorts
6. Tie-Dyed Bag
7. Tiered Skirt
8. Safari Vest

And indeed, this point #6 introduces Thaidye’s buddha bags to the world of fashion, playing with the big kids.

What I mean by “playing with the big kids”?

It is standard operating procedure that the magazine lists all the item the model is wearing in these fashion shots. Look what Kate presents…

Gotta tell ThaiDye that they steep-up their prices, don’t you think?

Now I ran into a nice image of Miley the other day, probably taken somewhere in the greater Los Angeles area – anybody know where exactly? – which I liked…

Allow me to dream a bit that all star, starlets and celebrities are eager to wear the mudmee tie-dye we offer the world.  I am sure if they would find out about us that would be certainly true anyways.

I have alredy started to dress one of our female astronauts properly for her accomplishments in space and so now it was Miley’s turn to be be chiqued up.

Out came good old photoshop and suddenly we have some exquisitely dressed Miley Cyrus…

I would have loved to dress Miley in one of the all natural cotton skirts – but that would have taxed my photoshop abilities too much, so instead here you have Destinee modeling on of the mudmee skirts.

She looks a bit like Miley anyways and even is the same age. She and her friend actually came to us offering to model for us – cool, huh?
