When I first joined this site... did I fit in right away? No... I had to learn the ropes.
It's no different than when you first go to school, or join an office where relationships are already developed.
Did Gigi and I butt heads? HELL YES lol We are both strong personalities with strong opinions and strong lungs that will vocalize these opinions.
was she ever rude or mean? No. We both argued our points/opinions WITH RESPECT.....
Today, I love her to death and count her among my friends.
She has my utmost respect in every way.
I've said it already, but for the benefit of those that weren't in hearing distance:
Salongeek made me the tech that I am today, and will make me the tech that I will be tomorrow.
Gigi is one of the main driving forces behind my success and my goals. Her skills, and talent are what I aspire to. HER RESPECT is IMPORTANT to me. Her approval of my work is IMPORTANT TO ME.
While I respect many talented geeks on this site, and hope to count myself among them in skill one day: Gigi is the "Queen" of the hive as far as I'm concerned.
At the end of the day..... Gigi's last word is the one that counts most for me (sorry peeps, luv ya.. but... LOL) And while I'm crazy for art, and she prefers natural... it's all good. We see eye to eye on the important stuff.
She has done nothing but treat me with love, constructive criticism, respect; and like most caring mothers - SHE KICKED ME IN THE ASS WHEN I NEEDED IT!!!
And she'll likely kick me in the ass again, sometime soon ROFL:hug:
Sooooooo I'd appreciate if people would stop talking out of their butts because the odours are becoming overwhelming, and give Gigi the RESPECT that she deserves and that is WELL EARNED through all of her hard work, endeavours and devotion to the industry.
