Patricia Samaniego from Las Vegas, NV has won the EXPRESS YOUR STYLE Design Competition for her BACARDI LIMON inspired ‘Retro Cocktail Dress.’ Samaniego received a $5,000 cash prize in addition to an internship at HOLLYWOULD and a portfolio critique and interview with 24Seven, Inc. In addition, her work, along with the other four finalists will be featured in the May issue of The Daily MINI, the monthly fashion magazine.

My daughter thanks you all for my time off last week. She made out with a Zune, new jeans, about fifteen tops, a prom outfit, and something else. I don’t remember. I don’t have enough money left to feed the dog.

Have a great weekend!
