Valentines for Haiti

Valentine's Day is a celebration of love. Usually it's a day when a gift or expression of love is given to someone that you know and care about. But love is not limited to those in our immediate circle of friends, family, and relationships. There is also the love of our fellow human being.

Haiti has been devastated by an enormous earthquake. The news has been filling the airwaves, the magnitude of the horror can only be measured in the tens of thousands of lives this has affected. And the true giving spirit of humanity has come forward, as it always does in such a tragedy.

George Clooney is working with MTV to create a telethon to help the people of Haiti. Presidents Bush and Clinton have come together to urge donations for this island nation. President Obama has guaranteed at least $100 million in aide. But the need will be greater than even that.

M V Consulting is not a mega-corporation. Our wells are not without limit, and while I wish I could create a telethon it is not possible. But there is something that we can do. With your help.

Valentine's Day is 30 days away. During this time 50% of all the profits from the sale of any item found at the online stores of M V Consulting, Inc. (Alchemy at World of VASS and World of VASS) will be donated to American Red Cross at www.redcross.org and Yele Haiti at www.yele.org.

So if you were hoping to give your girlfriend a new necklace for Valentine's Day like

- Heavily carved cross from the Middle Ages featuring a red-enamelled Sacred Heart and suspended with large Austrian crystal dropper.

Middle Ages style cross with red Sacred Heart and Austrian crystal

or you thought your boyfriend might enjoy

- A classic straight-sided 1 pint ale glass, but in black glass and branded with an antiqued pewter badge of Triple X Black Rose Ale.

1 pint ale glass, but in black glass and branded with an antiqued pewter badge

The proceeds will help out those in need in Hati as well.

Maybe you wanted to just get yourself or your brother/sister/mother/father something like

A bit of humor with that drink? Why not.

That too will help those in Haiti.

Whatever you choose, no matter how big or small, we will help Haiti with it. Because love of your fellow human being is not about how much you do, but that you do it at all.

Thank you for your help in this matter.

Sincerely

Michael Vass
President - M V Consulting, Inc.

Fan shows support for Black Entertainment USA

Well I just wanted to share an interesting item I received the other day. One of my long-time readers purchased a couple of items from my Alchemy at World of Vass online store. In particular was an early Christmas gift.

I was sent a couple of photos of the Christmas gift, a sweatshirt as can be seen below

one of the many great gifts found at http://alchemy.vassconsult.com

I haven't been sent photos of people in the various items they have bought at my stores before. I think its rather cool to see real people using the high quality items I sell. And I look forward to getting more photos from my fans and customers out there.

Obviously if you haven't been to Alchemy at World of Vass, or World of Vass, you won't be able to send me a photo to get published. But if you would like to have you're photo (and a quote with the photo) appear on this site, with/in one of my items, please do send it to info@vassconsult.com - subject: happy customers. If I get enough of them I may dedicate a seperate page justr for my customers out there.

I appreciate the support that all my readers, fans, and visitors provide every day.
An early Christmas gift found at http://alchemy.vassconsult.com and sent to me from a fan And I enjoy seeing what you all might look like.

No matter how you support my blogs, I thank you. And I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

For your Black Friday online shopping consideration

I hope that all of my readers and their family and friends have had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I sincerely would like to believe that no one was without a meal or friends at least for that day.

Friday is of course an entirely different subject. It is a day dedicated to shopping, sales, and getting that one item someone you know will love. It is Black Friday, when retail store pray to be overrun, and shoppers deal with congestion the likes of which they would avoid at any other time of the year.

I realize that every mega-chain, local mom and pop, and online store is competing for your attention today. And I admit I too would like to have you purchase some of my products.

I can't offer television ads, or celebrities hawking my goods. I can't offer discounts that come from being a billion dollar corporation. Nor will I present inferior goods with prices so low you have to question which truck they fell off of.

All I will ask is that my readers, and anyone they would be kind enough to refer, check out Alchemy at World of Vass and World of Vass.

Alchemy at World of Vass

You can find high quality hand-made English Pewter products adorned with Swarovski crystals here. Every item is authentic and imported directly from England. There are items from the unique resin skulls, to stylish and fashionable earrings and pendants. You can get classic steins, ornate goblets, unique shot glasses, original rings, elaborate t-shirts, and more.

To get a taste of what is available just look at this video and then go online shopping.



World of Vass

With over 1500 different items to choose from, you could spend hours just looking at each item at this online store. This online shopping site features t-shirts, coffee mugs, mousepads, sweatshirts, handbags, kids clothes, maternity wear, gift cards, calendars, teddy bears and much more. There are over 21 separate custon made designs that are available only at World of Vass.

The various designs found at this online store run the gamut of cute, friendly, sexy, naughty, flirty, bold, political, individuality, fasionable, and impressive. We believe that there is truly something here for everyone, geek or jock, young or old, man or woman, White, Black, Hispanic, or whatever.

And unlike many other websites that hawk goods that look good as a flat picture, you can see many of the different gifts on the various models we have done photo shoots with over the years. Some of our models include sexy and intelligent women like >Juliana Coates, Ashley France, and Christinal Blank. Out male models include the popular Shawn Kennedy, the youthful Dylan Miller and of course our own president - Michael Vass.

"No matter which of our online stores (or both) that you choose to go to I, Michael Vass, can attest to the fact that I personally own many of the products found there. I can personally vouch for the quality and worthiness of every item we provide for sale."


So as you spend your busy day looking for the cheapest whatever on super discount, or the hottest advertised widget or gadget, I ask you to take a moment and support the efforts. Look through our online store. Make a purchase (all items can be delivered to your home before Christmas at this point) or several. And tell your friends bout our online stores.

Your word of mouth is far more valuable to me than the anonymous and less than heartfelt advertising on television and other media.

Thank you for your support. It makes a differnce and helps me to provide the very best I can for all my readers.

Sincerely,

Michael Vass
President - M V Consulting, Inc.

Black Friday 2009

It's that time of year again. Since Halloween every department store and retailer has gone full blast on getting the Christmas decorations up. Already there are discounts of incredible proportions being offered for cars and men's suits and so on.

The internet has equally gone crazy. I've gotten more spam in the past 2 weeks than in the months prior combine. Everyone want you to buy something, now!

Well I want you to buy something too. At least I'm honest enough to not try to slam it down your throat or hide it behind some kind of jingle. But like ever other retailer the economy has made life difficult for me as well. So I appreciate if you you check out my online stores.

The Alchemy at World of Vass online store features authentic English Pewter and Swarovski Crystal items that are imported direct from England. Virtually every item is hand-crafted. The workmanship is of the highest quality.

This store features earrings, pendants, shot glasses, goblets, skulls, wall decorations (flags), bracelets, rings, cell phone charms, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and more. There is something for people who love the goth style, dragons, faries, alchemy, the middle ages, vampires, werewolves, the unique and the original. There are items for men and women.

Suffice to say that I think most anyone will find at least one item that they will like and want for themselves or for someone they care about.

The World of Vass online store is filled with over 1000 items. You can find cooking aprons, teddy bears, coffee mugs, beer steins, mouse pads, calendars, postcards, t-shirts, sweatshirts, jewlry boxes, even underwear and far more.

Every item offered at World of Vass is a unique creation of M V Consultng, Inc. You can't find these designs in any store in the world, just at my online store. We have over 20 separate designs - some funny, sexy, political, or just interesting. There are designs for men and women. There are designs specific for Whites, Blacks , Hispanics and completely nuetral.

If you can't find something for someone you know, or yourself, then you are far richer than most (so buy something anyway - call it a donation to all my work). Honestly, I think that everyone can find something they will enjoy at the store.

No matter which store you choose (or both) I can guarantee several things:

  • I personally own several of the items that are on sale, and thus can stand behind the quality (you may have even seen me with various items in my video commentaries and photo shoots).

  • You get what you are buying. There are no imitations.

  • Speedy delivery. No need to go out and face the hordes fighting over a sale item that you don't really. It will be delivered to your door.

  • Your information is private. No one will ever get your information from M V Consulting, Inc.

    Ok, I won't go on. But I do appreciate every visitor to my blogs and my stores. Your support is vital to me, because without you I'm just writing in the dark. So I thank you for reading this, and if you elect in checking out my stores.

    And if you do like what you find, please do pass on the word.

    Thank you. And now back to the real reason you are here.

    I'm so genteel if I weren't Black I'd be Southern

    Catchy title no? Inspiration for my latest t-shirt design literally came out of a comment I made with several friends at a party not long ago.

    Off the cuff, I hit everyone with this little phrase. As you might expect it floored everyone. We were all laughing for several minutes, and since it's become a bit of a catch phrase among us all. So I though I might share the humor with all my readers.

    the latest, humorous, fashion design found at www.cafepress.com/nova68

    It's not political, or serious, in any way. It's just funny. I hope you enjoy it as well as all the other unique fashionable clothing designs that can be found at World of Vass. There is something for everyone, just check it out and see for yourself.

    While you're at it, check out the Alchemy of England products at Alchemy at World Of Vass. It's a collection of fine English pewter and Swarovski crystal rings, pendants, flags, cigarette cases, earrings and other accesories that is perfect for Halloween, Goth, emo, and just people that are into fine quality.

    blood red enamelled heart of passion

    As always I thank you for your support in keeping the blogs of M V Consulting, Inc. alive and providing the information you won't get elsewhere.

    Sincerely,
    Michael Vass

    Which is your favorite?

    It's one thing to have sales, but it is quite another to know what my readers and the general public prefers. It's one of the biggest questions in all advertising, and every company hopes to know the answer first. And I think there is no better source than just being direct.

    At our online store - World of Vass we have over 9 women's fashion clothing lines, 5 men's designer clothing lines, and 12 unisex clothing lines (in addition to our model specific "bikini-style" calendars, mugs, journals, mousepads and more). Many of these unique designer clothing lines provide images to match African American, Hispanic/Latino, and/or White consumers, with more than a few just containing phrases that are both fashionable and eye-catching.

    But I want to know what do you think? Which fashion clothing lines are the most interesting? Which catch your attention most? Which is your favorite? And why?

    I can tell you that so far sales say that the following are the overall favorites:

    The words say it all.

    Any woman can wear this designer t-shirt and be as sexy, flirty, and spicy as she wants to be.

    Pet lovers and political activism, they go well together.

    Wives may be temporary but the ride is worth it.

    I think they are all exceptional fashion choices. And as my models show, they look good on real people.

    But are the sales the same as public opinion? Is there a direction you would like to see our next unique fashion clothing line take? Do you want more images or just phrases?

    I know that one thing that has been requested has been an Asian line of clothing. It is something we are working on. We hope to have that developed and available shortly.

    But what else. You tell us, and we will pay attention - as we always do.

    And take the time to check out all our clothing lines at World of Vass. There is something for just about everyone, and we are working on getting something for the ones we have missed so far.

    Update from Michael Vass - President of M V Consulting, Inc.

    Michael Vass modeling the Wanna Ride men's designer clothing t-shirt found at www.cafepress.com/nova68Well the first half of the year has been quite a ride so far. With the economy in the faltering status that it is life has become a bit harder for us all - if not massively so. But I continue to strive forward.

    So far the VASS political blog has been completely revamped. It has undergone a complete change, now using Wordpress a clean theme and a few add-ons like a rating system for each post (found at the bottom of each post).

    While it is not completely finished, each and every post and comment is being hand transfered from the old site to this new one (both are active now). I expect to announce the re-launch shortly. And new posts are already being placed on the site now (the most recent is the latest on the hearing for trial of Johannes Mehserle - who killed Oscar Grant).

    In addition to revamping my political blog, there has been the photo shoot at Guys and Dolls in Endicott NY. The shoot highlighted virtually every designer clothing line found at World of Vass. You can see the models and the various lines by clicking on the links at the top of the site, and clicking the images will take you to that clothing line for purchase.

    We have also added a new line of designer clothing - Wanna Score. At this moment there is just the women's fashion line, with designs for Black, White, and Hispanic women. We will be adding a complete men's fashion line of this design within days (also for Black, Hispanic, and White men). I invite you to look it over, and buy a few too.

    Of course I also direct you to our advertising. We are always looking for the best, most interesting, and highest quality advertisers for our blogs. In this market, its tough. But we have one of the best entertainment blogs in the world - focusing on people of color - not to mention the recognized political blog as well. Our ad rates are superior to many, but we always will be (limited in advertising space and) selective because you our readers are as well. So check out our advertisers from time to time, I believe in their products and services, so you can too.

    Another change that will be taking effect shortly is an expansion to the writing staff here and at our other blogs. In the coming months we expect to add another 3 or so writers, covering a miriad of topics. I of course will continue to write, and at the same pace as always. But it's a big world, and there are far too many things we want to bring to you our readers.

    For those interested in joining the new staff of writers for Black Entertainment USA or Vass the political blog, contact me at info@vassconsult.com - subject writing staff.

    For those that are interested in becoming a model for upcoming calendar, t-shirt, and other photo shoots (with noted photographers like Michael Rolston and Todd Messinger) contact me at info@vassconsult.com - subject model photo shoot.

    The economy is difficult, the clients of M V Consulting, Inc. are numerous as always, and I believe in expanding no matter the climate. We will not falter as long as you, our valued readers, continue to give us your time and attention.

    Always let us know what you think of the changes and inspiration we have. Feel free to comment on the posts, we value the input. We are here to provide the best service we can. Your feedback and support will ensure we do just that.

    Thank you, I look forward to your continued readership.

    A bit of pre-Super Bowl spice

    Well there is some time before the Super Bowl starts, so I thought I'd add some spice in honor of Valentine's Day. Since everyone is aware that I have 18 clothing lines, and adding more regularly, with over 1500 designer items I figured I'd show off one of my latest t-shirts.

    Michael Vass, President of M V Consulting, modeling the Male Wanna Ride - Black version - Tshirt

    As male models go, I think I'm not bad for my age (40). Hopefully the ladies will agree. Please do be kind.

    Of course this is just one of the multiple lines I have for Men's clothing. And there is no shortage of ideas that are coming up. But I like to keep the model pictures somewhat even, and of course with realistic people. Because if you think I look good in my clothing, I'm sure others will look even better.

    Another photo of Michael Vass modeling the Male Wanna Ride tshirt. Check out the other mens clothing at www.cafepress.com/nova68

    Of course there are the photo shotos of my other models as well. Like the recent 2009 calendar model Ashley France

    2009 calendar model Ashley France. Check out her line of calendars and postcards.

    And 2009 male calendar model Shawn Kennedy

    Model Shawn Kennedy is featured on cards, calendars and more. There is something for almost everyone in our online store, check it out.

    And from my first couple of photo shoots, Amamda Chestnut

    Our first model Amanda Chestnut. She is featured on our calendars, cards, postcards, and more. See for yourself.

    But check out the online store for yourself. I'm sure you will find something you like, or a great gift for Valentine's Day.

    And I am still looking for more models, so if you are interested do let me know.
