Years with Fluevog: Almost 5! Yippee!
What are some of your favourite styles right now?
7th Heaven. I also am really digging Bondgirl at the moment.
What was your first Fluevog experience?
Oooo that s a tough one... some may say I was born into the Fluevog Experience, LOL. My momma got my first pair, The Minstrel Minuet for my grade nine graduation and I have been hooked ever since.
Describe Edmonton in a nutshell:
Prairie lands, 100%. The weather changes at a moment s notice. Watch yourself!
Something that would surprise people about Edmonton:
Edmonton has an average of 321 days of sun a year. Get that vitamin D!
Favourite part of working for Fluevog?
The employees. It really is like a big Fluevog family and we all support each other. It is also amazing to work for a company that supports non-profit charities and allows us to have fundraising events in store. Fills my heart with joy.
Something that would surprise people about you:
I am John Fluevog s niece. Oh boy, cat s outta the bag! Although he did out me at the book signing here. Silly Uncle J.
What is your favourite Fluevog Store (other than your own)?
I haven t visited, I've only seen photos, but I would have to say Amsterdam. From what I have seen it looks BEAUTIFUL. Also, who wouldn t want to visit and maybe work there? I know I sure would!
Strangest pronunciation of Fluevog you ve heard?
Johnny Fluefhog.
