[Metro Retro Vintage]

I'm going to check it out now -- thanks, Maggie!

 

[vivavintageclothing]

Excellent interview! And, I agree--it's neat to finally hear Maggie's voice!

 

[denisebrain]

My Skype-y/nervous-sounding voice! I wasn't actually nervous, but my husband says I sound that way on this. I do speak incredibly slowly next to Kia. It's a Western US thing I guess. Thank you all for listening!

 

[furwise]

That was awesome. Your mention of us and your pseudo degree was great. I'm adding that to my resume..haha.

I never like to hear my voice recorded. I am always like, ewww, I sound like that?

 

[denisebrain]

ewww, I sound like that?

Exactly!

Thanks for listening Caryn ("Pseudo-Dean" )

Listened to every word, Maggie! I now know why it's "Denise Brain"! I didn't think you sounded nervous at all. You seemed to be a natural. Wonderful interview and thank you for sharing with your fellow VFG classmates! You truly make our world brighter!

 

[Vinclothes]

I thoroughly enjoyed your interview. Thank you for so ably representing us. Brain is so well chosen in your vintage name.

VFG, PhD!

Thank you Bonnie, and Marian, for your wonderful comments. I love how Kia put together so many aspects of what I do in 20 minutes!

 

[poppysvintageclothing]

She was a good interviewer and you were a great interviewee!!! Love that word...interviewee!

 

[Midge]

I am always like, ewww, I sound like that?

Same here...!

Anyway, great interview, loved listening to it!

 

[Better Dresses Vintage]

Great interview, Maggie!

There's nothing worse than the sound of your own voice, recorded. Always embarrassing, somehow. Well, for me, there's one thing worse -- hearing my name announced publicly. I could crawl in a hole. Have always loathed my name.

Isn't it weird how sensitive we can be about these things? I video-ed myself speaking before a public speaking engagement a few months ago, and I got so freaked out about how I *looked* speaking that I got incredibly self-conscious. It didn't help my speaking engagement! At least I dressed well.

ok, just getting around to listening to this wonderful interview, Maggie!! so, before i forget: put me on your book list, please, and, if you have, i'd love to see a photo of your shoe rack in your LR, as well as your Clair McCardell and Bonnie Cashin hoarded collections, please???

also love the VFG PhD term, and it's so lovely to hear the sound of your voice after all these years! xoxo

wow!
