talented friend #1: jeanie engelbach

the first of my talented friends who i would like to discuss on this here blog is my dear friend jeanie engelbach, aka queen, aka photojeanie. i met jeanie about 10 years ago when we were working nights at a nyc music venue called tramps. jeanie, a long time fixture in the nyc music scene, worked the front door, selling tickets and carding patrons and i worked in the coat check. at the time she was working various executive assistant jobs and i was working at a low paying (i grossed $400 a week - what?!), demoralizing (it was common to hear my agent screaming 'where the fuck is katy?!' ) talent agency . anyway, we have been friends long enough to watch each other evolve into our current career selves and jeanie is one of the best in the visual merchandising field, having worked for sony style, abc carpet & home and bergdorf goodman, among others.

jeanie's lifestyle has been documented in bust magazine, the new york city metro paper and hgtv's ' small space big style . each feature emphasizes jeanie's knack for interior design, specializing in bold colors, flea market collections and pinup/rock 'n' roll diy. jeanie also has her own photo archiving business , which i have added to my 'a few of my favorite links' section for you to put to use or recommend to others!

jeanie has not only been a good friend for a decade but she is also the only person who sends me a valentine every year! let's here it for jeanie: YAY!
