Wow, congrats! The minute I read that you turned down Barbie for something even better, I knew that this was the start of something big. and I know this sounds gushy but I think its really awesome that you have this blog and are able to share your journey with everyone.

Actually read the result first on Danielle’s blog. First reaction: ‘Of course she did.’ Second reaction ‘Yay!’
Well done you.

Congratulations on winning the competition! You don’t know me but I’ve recently started following your blog and I think your work is spectacular. 😀

GLORY HALLELUJAH!!! From now on I’m drinkin’ Perrier.
Everyone at Shangri Law is beaming with pride and happiness for you 🙂

Zoe, that’s just wonderful!
But…call me a pig but I’m still waiting for the big news…a fashion contest is one thing but citizenship is forever. How did your INS interview go? That’s the news I’m waiting to hear. I just couldn’t be more honored to welcome you as a citizen of this nation. I’m gratified you decided to join us and I await that news with bated breath.
I’d even be tempted to attend your naturalization ceremony (I’m a big sucker for those) but I’d probably just cry a lot and make a big mess. I hope you’ll blog and share winning that contest with us too.
Sorry, I know you have a lot on your plate. Hopefully you can blog some of it on FI. Congratulations on winning at GenArt!

Wow for you, Zoe. Love to see California designers setting the pace for everyone! AND becoming a citizen. That’s major. Hope to hook up with you in the City soon. Are you going to do the SF Fashion shows in August? I think I might, if I get a sponsor.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Zoe,
Last year, same competition I was in final 5 but not the winner and what an coincidence during the time I got my Green Card..))
I am so happy for you, you made it this year and the citizenship, a big salute!
Congrat!!!!!!
