The Daily Fab by Meghan Los Angeles

Haters!!!

Life works in really weird ways sometimes… Today I went to a TV show casting… first of all I can’t believe that I went to a TV show casting… that is SO NOT Me…. I tried out for the first season of Project Runway years back, obviously didn’t make it, but this time the director called me personally and wanted me to come down…. He promised that the talent would be “elevated” this time since it was going to not be Project Runway…. It was going to be a more sophisticated Fashion House type show….. Why not? Same network- Bravo, It never hurts to check things out, right???. Well let’s just say I should have listened to my inner voice, and not my pesky business partner, Sacha.

One thing that this business has taught me is a lot about people. Quality of people, personalities, interacting and socializing and even working with all kinds of people from all walks of life. Early on in my career I had the fortunate opportunity to work with some very destructive, self centered people that I welcomed into my inner circle. These gems of friends definitely didn’t have my best interests in mind, although I continued to give and give and they destroyed and destroyed. It wasn’t until I cut out the cancer did I start to actually see success in my business, life, health, and all around happiness. Seriously, sometimes your friends can be your biggest enemies!!! It really sucks, but haters want to see you fail.

I was SHOCKED when I rolled into the casting today to see the HATER sitting at the table with the casting director. I guess being political can get you everywhere in this town, but honestly karma will eventually get you in the end. We all will have a judgment day, have to face ourselves in the mirror in the morning, and if you can be fine as a liar, more horrible power to you. I am a true artist with passion, genuine feelings and a viable product that women all over the world want and buy on a daily basis. I don’t need a fancy title, crazy paycheck or a TV show to validate my talent. Just the fact that women love my stuff and tell me day in and day out is enough for me. I would love to get it on more women……. That would be AMAZING!!! And the fact that I sometimes am not political and don’t “play the game” holds me back, sucks……. Like I said, I am an honest artist. I wear me heart on my sleeve always, and that only make for amazing raw product.

So haters………. They are everywhere!!!! But if you are doing something right, there are A LOT of lovers!!!!! Fans!!!!! Thank god Thank GOD!!!! Thank you God that I am doing something right!!! If you stick with it long enough and fight the good fight, the lovers will overcome the haters. It just takes time, determination, passion, talent, and a lot of love. So take that HATERS!!!!!!!

I wrote this passage years ago to get me through some tough times.. it is screened on the insides of all my jackets and t-shirts on my line as a reminder to my customer to stay strong and FIGHT!!!

Oh, one last after thought… I get asked alllll the time about my name. Meghan Fabulous. Yes, it is my name. I changed it a few years back when I left my last business partner and started this new line. And yes, the hater is involved. See the hater happened to write this long UGLY horrible email to a girlfriend of mine one day about me rambling on and on about how awful I was and this and that, and how I thought I was soooo Fabulous, and how I was So NoT FABULOUS…… Yada yada yada….. Needless to say… My lawyer one day said to me, “Meghan you are going to have to change your designer name if you want to start designing a new label….” Somehow Meghan Fabulous just sounded sooo appropriate! I mean, I couldn’t be Meghan Smith or Meghan Johnson, and Yes I am SOOOOO FABULOUS!!!!
