Lydia  Both JD and Texas are pretty much amazing!  01.25.11 - 1:27pm

Stacey - Total City Girl  I'm sorry to say I'm with JD on the open drawer issue. My husband make sme crazy with this! I'm always finding open drawers around the apt and having to close them. Why is it so difficult to do in the first place??  01.25.11 - 1:20pm

Julie Randall  I'm allergic to leftovers, too. Something about the smell of things that should be hot when they're all congealed and cold and...okay, I need to stop before I get all nauseated.  01.25.11 - 1:03pm

Dianne  We had a BLAST! I signed up for the newsletter today and hope I can attend more of your seminars in the future!! THANKS SO MUCH!!  01.25.11 - 1:03pm

Sheree  4 out of 5 I totally do too, and I am sort of allergic to laundry, but it has to be done...oooh, and that reminds me need to get myself some cowboy boots!  01.25.11 - 12:43pm

Jennifer Beitchman  Jasmine-If it makes you feel any better, I went 37 years without doing laundry...and I mean I seriously didn't know how! Then I had a baby and I realized I couldn't get away with that anymore. And turns out....I don't mind it. I still don't like folding it though....OH and I taught myself how to iron...sort of. Growing up sucks!  01.25.11 - 12:38pm

CNicole  So glad you enjoyed the Lone Star State (did I just say that?). Hopefully you'll come back soon. I would love to see you speak.  01.25.11 - 12:30pm

Jared Tseng  Jasmine, it was such a pleasure and a treat having you come speak last night. No lie, my roommate (who also came) and I spent the following 2 1/2 hours discussing all you had talked about. Really loved how you pushed all of us to be open, honest, and vulnerable with ourselves and our work. Thanks tons!  01.25.11 - 12:27pm

Krystal  You feel a distinct change? I'd like to hear more about that! What do you feel?  01.25.11 - 12:24pm

MartaV  Leftovers are just wrong! And by the way my husband thinks I am way weird to think so too. I am so picky about my pens too. Not only is fine point necessary but I really dislike black ink, it must be blue ink. I absolutely cringe when I am at my FT job and all they have are medium point BLACK pens. I bring in special pens and guard them. :) Just wait til I can do photography full time. My office will only have the best pens. :)Doesn't everyone get hives from laundry? Unfortunately there is no one else in my house who would do it so I must suffer thru. :) Thank goodness we have such amazing husbands who put up with all our quirks.  01.25.11 - 12:23pm

Matt  So when you speak in L.A. do we get to have a "Best Sunglasses" competition to win a free website?  01.25.11 - 12:18pm

Cheri Root  Oh...good 'ol College Station, Texas-home of Texas A&M-my alma matter-Gig'em Jasmine! Hope you had a great big Texas time!  01.25.11 - 12:16pm

Kellie  I looooove to leave drawers and cabinet doors unclosed!!! I have no idea why! It's just me .... and my kind and patient husband just goes right along behind me shutting them with a smile!  01.25.11 - 12:09pm

Heather Bird  I am guilty of leaving the drawers and cupboards open too and have a husband that goes insane with my habit! He is also the main laundry-doer in our home. Love ya, Jasmine!  01.25.11 - 11:55am

Yadira  OK I'm mad that there is not a full color shot of the winning boots! They sound FABULOUS! xoxo  01.25.11 - 11:54am

Claire Garrett  Seriously - please write a book!! You make me laugh out loud often & that is a gift x  01.25.11 - 11:53am

Amanda Hagood  Girl, it was great having you in Texas! Now we just have to get YOU (and maybe even Polo) an awesome pair of boots :) Y'all come back now, ya hear?!  01.25.11 - 11:50am

Kathy Norwood  Again, if we haven't said it enough-Here's a big Texas thank you. It was a great pleasure to be your hosts and we were certainly challenged to see where we could expand our reach and I will certainly start working on the listening to my inner voice about being different. Love ya and "yee haw". Happy trails back to CA. Kathy and Robert  01.25.11 - 11:49am

Stefanie  I would love to be able to do that, stand in front of people in our industry and talk to them about I what I do.  01.25.11 - 11:49am

Linda  What kind of change? You said you see a change happening in the photography world? BTW God Bless you for all of your positive words and being a very honest person  01.25.11 - 11:46am

Marcus Bullock  I wish I had known of this event. I SO would have been there!  01.25.11 - 11:46am

Ryan Price  It was so great to have you come talk to us last night. I left with so many things running through my mind, and I can't wait to implement some of them in the way I do business! Thanks for your honesty and the way you call people to get out of the box and do things better. Although I opted to not stand in the forever long line to talk with you personally, I managed to talk with the equally cool JD for a few minutes, and considered the night a success! Thanks again for both of you coming and sharing!  01.25.11 - 11:46am

Alicia Candelora  Wait...there's something wrong with leaving drawers and cabinets open? My boyfriend and JD should form a support group.  01.25.11 - 11:45am

Faye  It's okay, I can only write with a fine-point pen too! ;) They have to be the Japanese fine point pens though, haha.  01.25.11 - 11:45am

Tab McCausland  Bwahhhhh allergic to laundry LOVE LOVE it :)  01.25.11 - 11:44am

Jessica Frey Photography  A fabulous boot contest? In good 'ol College Station!? That's amazing! Those Aggie girls sure do know how to rock a cute pair of boots! I also hope you were overwhelmed with Howdy's and Hey Ya'lls and the amazing friendliness that Texas is! Whoop!  01.25.11 - 11:43am
