Inge Los, creator of “Bring Your Own Cake” and winner of the Dutch Hat Association Competition, began millinery in 2015, discovering artistry, calm, and patience. Mentored by Marga van der Bos, she found joy in the craft. After personal trauma in 2020, millinery became a vital source of comfort and self-expression. Her whimsical, “Mad Hatter’s Wonderland”-inspired hat featured a perfectly engineered golden sieve. Winning reignited her motivation, shifting her from collecting materials to completing bold new projects. Alongside her creative work, Inge launched a career in IT, balancing digital and couture worlds while embracing fresh inspiration and flawless craftsmanship.

Inge Los - MillineryInfo Podcast

Let’s talk about a topic that gives many designers the cold sweats—sales. Offering your services authentically is not pushy—it’s service. It’s not ick, it’s sales. From handling rejection to reviving client pipelines and learning how to spot subtle buying signals, this conversation is packed with real strategies that feel good and get results. Whether your projects are booming or business feels a bit slow, it’s time to reframe your mindset, reconnect with past clients, and approach sales with clarity and confidence.

In this episode we learn:
- Sales is not sleazy—it's service. You're not "convincing"; you're solving a problem your client already has.
- Reframe rejection. A "no" is often just a "not yet." It’s your job to follow up respectfully and leave the door open.
- Understand your client's “convincer strategy.” People need to see or hear something multiple times before they say yes—so follow up strategically.
- Spot buying signals. Comments, objections, or questions can all indicate interest. Learn to recognize and respond without fear.
- Don’t ignore past clients. It’s easier to earn repeat business than find new clients—reach out with genuine value and suggestions.
- Your network is gold. Happy clients will refer you—if you ask. Don’t rob them of the joy of helping you.
- Soft selling works. Ask permission to make suggestions and always offer a next step without pressure.
- Watch your email tone. Reduce “I” statements and shift to client-focused language with questions that invite engagement.

"Gold Digger Girls II" brings the heat back with more flex, more attitude, and zero apologies. Banging basslines, flashy bars, and a hook that sticks — this track rides with high-end energy and club-ready swagger. She’s not just gold digging... she’s gold running the gam

The End Of The World song

SLOWED-REVERB remilia bandxz x 556kurumi ~ 50 shots

Lyrics:

[verse]    
Shadows whisper when the silence speaks
with these dreams in hand, chasing the need
ain't no scars... when the roots go deep
holding it all in...  so the light cant reach...??

fear ain't shit, when the grip holds tight
don't know what I mean, dig deep tonight

[Pre-Chorus]  
Rise from the weight
it's time
decide your fate

[Chorus]    
It ain’t easy... bleed just to breathe, yeah...
It ain’t easy... fight just to believe, yeah...
to rise again... and again.... for it all....
It ain’t easy... bleed just to breathe, yeah...
It ain’t easy... bleed just to breathe, yeah...
It ain’t easy... fight just to believe, yeah...


[rap]     
hear them echoes rise, and reflect...
not scared to let it close in... and connect...
when the truth survives, carves the way
to face it.... cracked stone, for those who betray...
(best to look away....)
Doubt fading like poisoned mist
over the world, may fall... still, I resist
against.... each scar, each step for it all
for even the gods we praise have left us stained...
(watch for snakes...  )

i can't say I know my way
i can't say its ever gonna be the same
i cant make promises, not today
but my heart never turns... never turns away...


[Pre-Chorus]  
Rise from the weight
it's time
decide your fate

[Chorus]    
It ain’t easy... bleed just to breathe, yeah...
It ain’t easy... fight just to believe, yeah...
to rise again... and again.... for it all....
It ain’t easy... bleed just to breathe, yeah...
It ain’t easy... fight just to believe, yeah...

it's on you...

"It’s the Label, Baby" by Dr. Elliot Lach is a funky, tongue-in-cheek song about our love affair with luxury brands — and the sometimes ridiculous prices we pay just to flash a logo. With a groove that nods to Bruno Mars and Lizzo, it struts through the aisles of high-end fashion with a wink and a bassline, poking fun at the idea that a straw hat or plain T-shirt can be worth thousands just because of the name on the tag. It’s playful, sassy, and just self-aware enough to make you laugh while you dance. Perfect for when you're walking down the runway (!) or anyone who’s ever chosen “designer” over “practical”… or knows someone who has.

ATTENTION BANDS: I want to write and create demos for you! Everything is for sale - or - we can work together and release music as a collaboration. I am open to ALL paths to success. 


NŪABYSS: /New-Abyss/


follow me @nuabyss on all social media.

If you come across a track 'without vocals', I produced it. 

If you come across a track 'with vocals', I still produced it, then wrote to it, and then and only then do I take MY music and MY lyrics and run it through Suno AI. This allows me, a long time songwriter/producer, to create demos. I tag "demo" in most of the songs I post here.  This is because I want to sell these to bands/artists, and work with them until the song is complete.

The "Origin: Unknown" album was made this way, with lyrics I had written to beats I produced over 15 years. I did not want to publish music this way, but being 48 years old, I decided to take the risk in hopes to gain attention/exposure so I can write songs this way, using Suno AI to perfect them - but with the intention of helping another band/artist record the song themselves. 

IMPORTANT: I can recreate every single piece of music on this page, for any artists looking to collaborate. 

It's not that I am lazy, or untalented, yet quite the opposite. I have learned over the years how important it is to stay ahead in music technology, and how to use every single tool available to me to eliminate restrictions in my creative process.

The only song you will hear my voice on is "Last Hope".

Again... I've been writing poetry and song lyrics my entire life.  Reach out to your favorite artists. Tell them you found their next hit song. 

LFG.
