Lavender Lens is having a birthday again! It’s amazing to look back over the years and admire the way Bixi’s brainchild has blossomed. The staff of the Lens all have colorful stories to share including, but not limited to: waiting for others to get off of their AOL accounts so we could use them for research, late night production sessions in one place or another but always on Georgia Street, Bixi’s hysterical laughing fits when it’s 6 a.m. and she’s been working for 3 days straight, fighting over the stereo, making balloon skirts for pride floats in the dark while intoxicated, Bixi driving down the Pride float on Pershing in the wrong lane past traffic to make it to the parade, Diana’s German accent, Margie’s mile a minute stories, Bill’ s push to finish before deadline so he could leave at 2 p.m. and have a 6-pack, Mona’s elusive sales team, Marcelo and her camera, and the dirt lot gatherings. We’ ve laughed and cried and bitched and praised and we’re still here—still fiercely loyal to the cause. |
