Gone Skiing for a Week or So...

I landed in Salt Lake City last night only to find out United had decided to leave my enormous ski bag in Chicago despite my 3 hour layover. Yuck.

But then we got dropped off at the base of Alta and had THIS waiting to take us to our nook for the next week. A snowcat turns me on. Its that simple. And the combo of snow, good friends and an invincible snow beast is more icing on the cake that I can usually handle.

Day One. Ben Mackay in what I can only describe as another slice o' heaven...a neon colored TIGHT onesie.

This is home for the week...and available to ANYONE if you are interested...KILLER pad.
Anyway, the sun was shining, and the following is a sneak peak at some footage...

peek-a -boo!

CKB Custom Coaching Gown on far right.

Part of the new CK Bradley site is peek-a-boo. It is a work in progress...with many kinks to iron out, BUT "Caught in CKB" is up and full of customer pics AND pics we have found of YOU wearing CKB...so send us more, and if you know any unidentified captured wearers, let us know!

Mom, far left.

Also, the album "My Inspiration" might make you want to live in another era...

Save Magic Mountain...

I may have a slight affection for the Onesie. Scratch that. I haven't worn a normal ski outfit since Carrie Fowler showed me the virtues of her vintage number...(Carrie above, braids n' all)

First came Onesie, "Neon Delight"
Then came Onesie "Downhill Racer"

Then Onesie "I can't ski it's so tight"

Then CB bibs I wore at 16...not quite Onesie,
And most recently, Onesie "Svetlana Magic Mountain"
( I may or may not go by Sventlana on the slopes...)

Some guys from Magic make a bunch of very entertaining videos, and Svetlana made the cut in:

Charlie's Goes Proper

Foxfields 2006. (Outside of Virginia for those of you who haven't experienced it yet...) It was a day filled with Beirut challenges and frozen drinks made with our 2 stroke, pull start blender. I was tired to say the least.

Cleanup is never any fun after a day like this...but on this particular day, the HANDSOMEST of boys comes up and starts asking me questions about CK Bradley. All I could think was DAMN I'm in the right business! I'm not sure what lured him in..the smell of oil and gas from the 2 stroke, the sticky beaten up Beirut table, the skulls on my cowboy hat...Next thing you know, he was helping ME CLEAN UP!!! Southern boys I LOVE YOU!!!
His name was Charlie Holderness. And he will go down as one of my favorite CKB fans. In fact...he is one of the reasons I love what I do SO MUCH. (Charlie on the Far right in CKB Bowtie and belt)

Charlie entered a CK Bradley contest and won a spot in our Newport Scavenger Hunt in 2006. Then in 2007 he came on our race from NYC to Tennessee in CK Bradley's Banditball.

Charlie and the Judges

Charlie in the beginnings of his modeling career...

Why is it that my version of a 'Charlie photo shoot' is him in orange Dickies and NOT CKB Men's stuff? Arghhhh. One day I will learn....because look at him NOW!!!

Oh Charlie!

Charlie is featured in this months Southern Proper Catalog. I am impressed with SP...they have an original flare that blends Preppy with a side of European. Great cuts, more sophisticated prints...and good looking models.

From Dickies to Southern Proper...Charlie you make us all look good!
(Charlie is tying the knot in June 2010...Congratulations C-Holds!)

-Still Loving Dickies, bradley

Apres...

I love skiing....but second to skiing, I love Apres.

This weekend a bunch of us headed to Magic Mountain where wizardry and old school mountain blend to make it my favorite place to go on the East Coast. Closer than Mad River, my other favorite, Magic is the kind of place you wish was still around....and IS. A place where the chocolate chip cookies are AMAZING,

the terrain is challenging,

the checkout girl is as good to look at as the quesadilla is to eat,

the lift lines are short and the people are great. Magic, you have cast a spell on me....

What I really want to know is WHY NOBODY thought my ski outfit was out of the ordinary!!?

Maybe because I blended in with onesies EVERYWHERE?
Oh...and Magic is VERY dog friendly...

-Ready for More Snow, Bradley

CKB Dog Accessories...

People always ask me to make baby this...baby that. And I always say..."wait till I get preggers...THEN I'll make ridiculously cute baby stuff." Well, I'm NOT preggers...but Tula is a new addition and has inspired the re-launch of CKB Dog. So...introducing...

CKB DOG!!! (matching 6' leashes too)

We made the combos as fun as we could...and put them on a few models to show them in action...

This is Bromley, a 6 week old Chocolate Lab that visited the store yesterday. He is wearing a Small.

Measurements for your favorite barking monsters are on ckbradley.com....Feast your eyes! I'd like a leash for Tigger too so he wouldn't chase after the boys so much....
