| Harvin and Meyer Eadon From Big Rich Atlanta On The Style Network |
When I first discovered Big Rich Atlanta on The Style Network I have to admit I was a bit skeptical.
As a long time viewer of Bravo TV, and also being a fan of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, I was thinking what could another reality show about rich women in Atlanta possibly have to offer? How wrong I was! After watching the first episode I instantly became hooked! The show has everything from a great cast to great story lines that are interesting to follow! Aside from all the glamour... I was really captivated by Big Rich Atlanta mainly for two reasons..." The Dynamic Duo"... Sisters Harvin and Meyer Eadon.
The Eadon sisters are making their debut in reality television and leaving their mark on the world with their special brand of style, drama, humor , and good old fashion fun that keeps us coming back for more! The sister's close knit relationship is also endearing to watch as are all their crazy antics!
Harvin and Meyer are using the vehicle of reality television as a platform, like any smart business women would, and have launched a line of jewelry called She Blames Me! But don't be fooled, this is not your typical artifice...there is more to the sister's jewelry than meets the eye. There is a empowering underlying message...despite what your critics may have to say, the only opinion that matters should be your own ! Believing in yourself when no one else does is what keeps driving these ladies to achieve what everyone else felt was impossible for them to. They are not mad at their haters... they are celebrating them and reminding us that life is what you make it! I was blessed to have the chance to talk with the Eadon sisters and below is what I found out from them!

BC: Harvin
and Meyer are unique and beautiful names
is there a story behind them?
HE: Meyer and I were both named after our
grandmothers’ maiden names. Meyer has our maternal grandmother’s maiden name and
I was named after my paternal grandmother’s maiden name. It’s an honorable
southern tradition to keep
“family names” in
the family. I’m starting
to think we are going to run fresh out of family names by the time Meyer and I
have kids of our own. Speaking of names, Meyer and I are together so much that people started calling us Marvin or H&M for
short.
We call our mom Goose, Meyer and I call each other “Bud” and rarely use each other’s real names. A habit that stuck like glue.

| Time Machine... The Eadon Sisters as children |
BC: Where did you ladies grow up and what was
your childhood like?
HE: From birth to late middle school we grew up in Manning, S.C.
Manning is a very small town. There was no movie theatre or shopping mall, just
the Piggly Wiggly, Walmart and Jerry’s Truck Stop. We lived next to two large open
fields and two big ponds. Behind our house there was a small farm of
animals and bail after
bail of haystacks. We picked up every stray animal imaginable so we had about 22
cats, 8 dogs, 2 bunny rabbits and 1 horse that roamed the yard and fields.
Between all the animals, the forts we built, and the neighborhood gang… we felt
like we ran a small kingdom and loved every last second of it!
BC: What were your parents like?
HE: Our mom and dad would let us dress up however we wanted to no matter where we were going. Dad would really let us paint our faces, safety pin moms old clothes to our little bodies, carry fairy wands and over sized Mary Poppins purses that contained nothing practical whatsoever, just random toys from the house, and allow us to run errands or go anywhere with him like that. He even bought us a real cash register when we were little so we could take all the items from the pantry and run them down the tread mill conveyor belt to pretend checkout counter while successfully selling all moms real groceries to our friends for plastic coins and paper dollars.
BC: It sounds like you all had a lot of creative freedom which I think helps people grow into more well rounded adults...
HE: I agree! Mom tried really hard to tidy us up as much as she could and make us presentable for places like church and school, but the second we got to cut loose… we were wild haired, barefooted kiddos in t-shirts and panties. That is, until we were inspired to create our next magical character via random clothes, tutus, and a pack of markers. We liked to write on ourselves a lot. ( laughs).

ME: Our dad would tell us the most fascinating
stories and create these “ghost rides” where we would gather up our neighborhood
friends and go for a drive to the cemetery. He we would
slowly pull up into the cemetery and would do something like slam on breaks and say,
“Did you see that?
Oh my
gosh! I’ve got to check it
out!” Then he would put the car in park and take the keys and wander somewhere
behind the car, but not before pushing play on a recorder he hidunderneath his seat that made ghostly noises. All 8 of us in the car were squirming and
screaming. Our oldest
brother would be dressed up with an over sized sheet hiding behind different
gravestones and lurking about. Dad would then suddenly run up to the
car, slingopen the door in a “panicked” rush and jump in and take off! All while acting like he was in a
panic to get out of there, “oh no
we have got to get out of here right
now and go to the police!” Mind you, this is a very small town so he had already
set it up with his friends at the “jailhouse” to play along. We piled out of the
car and stormed through the doors of the jailhouse and “reported” what we
witnessed at the cemetery.
BC: That sounds like so much fun!
HE: Oh my God! It was so fun and the coolest thing that ever went down
in our neighborhood! We looked forward to these ghost rides. A few kids never
came back to spend the night with us, but the majority of them could not get
enough of our wizardly playground!
ME: Oh and did I mention that these “ghosts” all had
names, because they did. My favorite ghosts were
Horsey Briles,
the Orange Slice Troll, and No Head Dead.
BC: I love that !
HE: As you can see, we loved telling ourselves
even at a young age that we could be anything that we wanted to be and both of
our parents allowed us to believe that. Our dad made everything fun and our mom nursed us and
nurtured us through everything we did. We didn’t have tons of money, but we
didn’t even notice. We were happy creating and pretending to be whatever we
wanted to be, just
by using the things we had.
ME: Our wealth was in our love for each other as
a family
and def not in our pocketbooks. Our parents did not come into money until
much later in our lives.

| Harvin Eadon, Mother Virginia , and Meyer Eadon |
BC: How did you all end up on Big Rich
Atlanta?
ME: It literally fell right into our laps. Well,
actually my voicemail that I did not check for a good two
weeks.
HE: Yea, when a casting crew touched down in the
ATL we were a recommendation given to them by someone. They attempted to
call Meyer (first mistake) and then left her a voicemail (biggest
mistake).
ME: Once I finally checked it, we called them
back and a string of
interviews were set into
motion via phone calls, Skype, and in person.
BC: How did your mother, Virginia Kolb, feel about all this?
HE: Mom decided that she was cool with the idea,
nervous, but up for the possible adventure of reality
television.
After
the numerous interviews,we
just waited to hear back.
ME: A couple of months later we received a phone
call congratulating us for being chosen as cast members of the Style Network
show Big Rich Atlanta. We were all together (me, Harvand Goose) when we got the call so we bust into giggles and a whole bunch of
oh my gosh’s, felt
a pang of anticipation and nervousness, but mostly just very much
excited!
BC: Very exciting! How could you even begin to prepare for that?
HE: We did not have a clue as to what to expect
when filming a reality television show. We knew it was going to be our first
rodeo and there was no telling what would come out of it, but we crossed our
fingers and just hoped that we would like ourselves in the television as much as we did in real
life. You never can be sure ya know ( laughs).
BC: Was the experience of being on Reality
Television what you thought it would be after you saw the show air or during
filming?
HE: During filming it was more than we expected! There were so
many crew members and it was such organized chaos. It blew our minds. I was
fascinated with how they functioned as theselarge team machines. It was amazing! They became like family and
then furniture with a camera. When they had their cameras off their shoulders we would
all be smiling or laughing and even though you do not talk to the cameramen
directly that much, we all had this unexplainable bond. They knew us and we
became to get so used to them being around. It was like they were living
furniture. You knew they were there but you completely forgot about them. They
moved when we moved but it was almost no different than getting used to new
wallpaper. Every time you walk in the door for the first several days you notice
it immediately and then after that it just blends in and becomes the norm. We
loved the production crew. We had the blues when we wrapped and they
left.The producers were
amazing in every way. We felt very comfortable talking to them and even arguing
with them every once in a while ( laughs) . We
felt closer to them than a lot of people in our lives because they were
literally IN OUR LIVES.
BC: Was it weird when the camera crew was done filming?
ME: Yea, we were depressed
when they left. I really
miss the crafty box of
snacks they always had and just the sense that your life is filled with people in it all the time and we got used to
that.
HE: Once they left it was sooooo quiet. We liked itso much better when there was tons going onand we
couldn’t even think straight. Somehow we find comfort in chaos and loved the non-stop
interaction we had with them and our cast members. It was a sense of camaraderie
and we enjoyed that.
ME: There were some amazing people that we
really got close to. We still miss them. We would even notice if one cameraman or lighting crew member
changed for a particular day. That’s how in tune you become with the “family”
that posts up around you for months at a time.
HE: Don’t get it twisted though...when we knew we did something like so incredibly embarrassing
and it all got caught on tape… we envisioned swan diving the cameraman!
BC: Anything fun that you are willing to share?
HE: ( laughs) Like this one time when I couldn’t hold it any longer, I had to tt (I hate the word pee) behind a bush and a cameraman was riiiiigggghhhhtttt there!!!
BC: Anything fun that you are willing to share?
HE: ( laughs) Like this one time when I couldn’t hold it any longer, I had to tt (I hate the word pee) behind a bush and a cameraman was riiiiigggghhhhtttt there!!!
ME: Bud was ridic that night. She had tooooooo much champagne!!!
HE: Well I had to go, I couldn’t hold it for
another second. When you gotta go, you gotta go, damn.
ME: Well thank God they cut that out of the episode!
HE: Oh shut up Meyer, like you haven’t done worse.
BC: Do I have to play referee? ( both laugh)
ME: It is interesting to see all the quirks
about yourself when watching it back on television. Like we make the craziest
faces ever sometimes. Some of them do not look hot at all. ( laughing) It was also interesting to see which pieces of filming were
not included or how something that lasted two hours in filming time could be
summed up and captured in 3-5 minutes playback time. Sometimes we were like,
thank God they did not use that part because I said something really stupid and
other times we would be like ugh, why didn’t they keep that part because I felt
pretty and cool when I said that or did that ( laughing) Just typical general stuff likethat.
HE: Overall, they pretty much captured who we
really are without a doubt. Yes, things are edited so they keep certain parts
and not others, but ALL of the things were done whether they made the cut for
television or not. It becomes an exaggerated version of yourself
because its like a highlight reel of all the things that went down over
a matter of months and then wrapped up into several one hour
episodes.

| Time for a personal assistant ladies! |
BC: In what ways has it changed your
lives?
HE: Well, mom
won’t let me wear my bathrobe out in public as much.
ME: Bud that’s because that robe is disgusting
and you know it. We hide it from you every week and you find it or buy another
one. Gross.
BC: You both crack me up ! ( all laugh)
HE: Other than that, we have to keep ourselves
up more often (grooming
and all) because we do not
want to have zit cream on our faces and have to snap a pic with a fan at the
grocery store and stuff like that.
BC: How are you adjusting to your new found fame?
HE: We love the people that love the
show, who love She Blames Me (our
business), and love us. We make sure that we personally respond back to all of
them as much as humanly possible. Even if it means spending over four
hours a
day and really late nights
getting back to as many of them as we can. They are really important to us and
we do not take any of them for granted. The support we have received has been
magical, encouraging and super exciting. We love these people. We so often refer
to them as friends instead
of fans.
ME: We take pictures with people all of the time
and it’s really flattering to be
honest.
BC: It sounds like you both are very grateful and down to earth!
HE: It has also been a humbling experience. For
all of these people to take interest in our lives and to join in our passion for
the fashion brand, lifestyle and perspective of She Blames Me creates a feeling
that even words would not do justice. It’s just that freaking astounding and
staggering!
ME: We spend tons of time doing interviews,
working on She Blames Me, responding to people wanting to connect with us,
attending various events, and managing to design as much as possible throughout
it all.

BC: After watching the show was there any
thing that you regretted and if so what?
HE: Ripping my eyelashes off at Darryl’s Fall
Fashion Preview party. Also, I regretted doing the art show at the time, but not as much now. After
enduring Sharlinda’s wrath at the art show it was like ripping a ginormous band-aid off. It stung like hell, but I feel like my fears about
showing my art have dwindled just a little bit because nothing could have gone
any worse that night. If I ever decide to do an art show again, I’m thinking
that anything would be a better experience than that one. I always regret some
of the things I say to Meyer in our most heated arguments so that part is an
ongoing thing. We argue every hour and then make up ten seconds
later.
ME: I do not regret much of anything other than
not brushing my hair out after the Halloween party. Instead, I went out with
friends after the party, slept with that wild hair, and then came to work the
next day with the largest rats nest you have ever seen.

| Best Halloween costume ever! " Dead Dolls" |
HE: It’s true. It looked like a tornado hit her
directly in the head and left nothing behind nothing but a busted bleach blonde
mess! ( roaring laughter) bud, it was even picking up debris like lint and
stuff.
ME: I regret the hand slip I had outside of the
kickboxing class too. I accidentally had a hand slip out of anger and it landed
on bud’s face. I felt bad. She was making me so frustrated and mad
though. I do regret
it.
BC:Who are you friends with from the show
when the camera isn't rolling?
HE: I am very close with both Ashlee and Meagan.
I talk to both of them every single day just about. Ash and I will stay up all
night talking sometimes. In fact, she was just here last night till 4:30am as we sat
around talking about anything and everything in no makeup, messy pajamas, and
sipping on bloody mary’s that I made that tasted like sh#t to be honest. It was my first time making one
myself. Meagan will come
and hang out and even spend the night every now and then. Its really funny
actually because while we were filming me, Meyer, and Meagan would all end up in
the same bed together on several occasions even though there were
always like ten more beds
we could of had to
ourselves. ( laughs) Even with no cameras, we all end up in the same bed together
laughing and talking until we fall asleep like the adult kids we are. We all go out to various bars and clubs together too.
BC: I really like watching Ashlee ( Wilson Hawn ) too I think she is fab...it sounds like you are becoming very close...
HE: We are! Ash and I will talk about everything under the sun and even the most random things and laugh until we are crying. She will bring her dog Winnie over to play with our dogs Milo Wilo and Freck the Wreck and we just relax and talk. She helps me get knotted extensions out every now and then, we make middle of the night fast food runs together, borrow each others things, you know… stuff regular friends do. Meagan and I will go out together and then have days where we hash out business stuff like what we are planning for this, that, and the other. Our house has like a revolving door. We have people in and out non-stop. It’s the meeting place and the gathering spot. Our friends know they are always welcome over here. We have them over ALL the time and love it. Our Glam Squad SAMJAM is over here constantly too because who you see us around on the show are for real special people in our lives. Some of us (cast)have gotten MUCH closer after the show wrapped. For me those people would be Ashlee and Meagan. I like Kahdijiha fine, I just do not ever hear from her much and she seems super busy too. It’s no secret that we had a slight blow out with them while filming and that has carried over into our relationship with she and her family. We get over things pretty quickly though but with everyone being so busy, no big efforts have been made yet on either part to rekindle a solid friendship with them.

| Meyer Eadon, Ashlee Wilson Hawn, Harvin Eadon and Meagan |
ME: I just kind of go with the flow and down
with whatever. We always have people over here and we always talk to Meagan and
Ashlee regularly. Bud usually communicate with everyone the most via phone
making plans and all that, but I talk to everyone just as much and I’m always
along for the ride to do whatever. If two of our cast members are in an argument
for example, one is usually on the phone with Harvand
the other one is on the phone with me. Bud and I argue all the time so it’s nothing
for us to try and assist
in mediating our friends’ squabbles. At the end of the day, we all just like to
have a good time. It’s a royal pain in the ass for twitter wars between cast
members and arguments over petty stuff to get in the way of trying to all go out
together. But it does
happen.Kahdijiha and I were closer than she and Harvin were because I spent
more time with her in filming than Harvin did because neither of us were fond of
Ashlee at first. I’ve gotten to know Ashlee in a totally different light and we
get along and have fun together now. I can do that though, I can get over things
pretty quickly if you come around, call, and make an effort to be friends. Since
Ash and Harvin became much closer after the show, I see more of Ashlee and
rarely see Kahdijiha. Not to mention, we never really got closure on the things
that went down at the art gallery or thereafter. Even after filming wrapped we
were completely caught off guard by some of the things Kahdijiha would say in her blogs and things she would tweet. That
caused a further rift between us all. However, I still likeKahdijiha too. Just been a little disappointed in how she handled some
things and other comments she made about us that couldn’t be further from the
truth. We can handle criticism from anyone without a blink of an eye, but it is
hard to see people that you went through this experience with say things that were completely
off track. Sometimes we wonder if they think we go around bashing them or
something because we def do
not. That’s not our thing. But it IS our thing to defend the hell out each other
in our family. That’s when you will see us go a little cray on someone. Anyway, I think bud and I both consider
ourselves friends with everyone on the cast but the people we see the most are
Ash, Meagan, and Marcia (Meagan’s mom).

| Meyer Eadon , " Goose", and Harvin Eadon |
BC: What are some lessons that you have
learned from your mother?
ME: To stay out of arguments, to not cuss so
much, to wake up earlier. Shoot, does a lesson mean you have to actually be
compliant with the lesson learned or no? Anyway, she has taught us so many
things. She has taught us loyalty, she has taught us how it is possible to do a
million things at once and be good at doing them, she has shown us the kind of
mother that we can only hope like hell we will be one day. Mom is very much a
Southern Belle, even if her two daughters are a little more like Southern Hells.
Mom has taught us how to believe in ourselves. She has shown us what a
completely genuine and loving person is because she is every bit genuine and
loving. We have learned that you can make anything happen as long as you put
every bit of your heart, soul, energy, and dedication into it. She has taught us
that you can be truly
happy at any age. She has taught us that when you lay down with dogs, you wake
up with fleas. She has taught us that God is Kingand that we are his children and while we make more than our
fair share of mistakes, He is the end all be all. She has instilled in us a
sense of family, nurturing, belonging that is irreplaceable, hence the fact that
we just do not want to leave her nest like everrrrr! She is perfect in every way, she never contributes to
drama, she is not a gossiper, and she is the most forgiving person I have ever
known.
The Eadon sisters with their amazing mother " Goose" Virginia Kolb
HE: Oh my GOD! Really?... Ummm a
lot! Goose has taught us so many lessons that it is so hard to single out just one… or even ten. Meyer
tod you most of the same things I would have said as well so I am going to touch
on the main thing she has taught me. The first and foremost lesson would be
without a doubt her unconditional love. We have been raised in her unconditional
love and it is by far the most precious gift I have ever been given in my life.
There are no conditions or standards, no mistakes too big, no disappointments
too traumatizing, and notragedy to severe that would make our mom ever turn her back on us or not
forgive us. Her love for us has no boundaries. It is steady,
unwavering, unchanging and
undeniable. This alone has been one of the guiding lights in my life. To be
loved so unconditionally is the backbone of my life, the example of what the
real thing is actually like, and the reason I know the difference. Our mom is
our idol. We idolize our father for so many things as well. We have great
parents and the lessons we have learned from them are everything to us. Oh, and
I have also learned from mom that Meyer and I have a very good chance of having
the sexiest legs on the planet at her age. Genetics and all.
BC: What qualities do southern
girls have that northern girls do
not in your opinion?
HE: Yes mam and yes sir / no mam and no sir and that’s
for sure. They
are colder more days out of the year than we are. Warm weather seriously makes a
difference I don’t care what anyone says. Call me dumb, but I do not want to go
out of the house when it’s colder than a polar bears toenails. When it’s warm
out I feel like people stroll around and are out and about more without rushing to and
fro, makes us more social
sometimes. The south tends
to have a friendlier air about it. It’s rude in the south not to smile, acknowledge others,
etc.
ME: Their
accents. We talk way slower and just different. Northern people tend to be a little more blunt
than Southern people are.
BC: What do you want your fans to take from
the show about who you are?
HE: We aren’t spoiled rotten brats who have lived with a silver
spoon in our mouths for
our entire lives. We have had major ups and downs. We also work very hard at
making our dreams come true despite what it seems like on television. We play
around a lot, but that is just who we are. Just because we can goof off and be
silly with each other does not mean that we don’t hop right into the grind and
hustle our asses off every day for our business. We wouldn’t mind living with
or at
least close
to our mom for forever, that is true. However, we
have no intention of ever wanting to have to get money from her every time we
need something. That sucks. We are working hard to be successful entrepreneurs with something
that we believe in wholeheartedly. We want to be able to take care of our mom
one day. We do not want her to have to take care of us for forever, that’s
embarrassing.
ME: To be able to laugh at yourself, to be whoyou are no matter who is watching. That we aren’t just two basic brats living off
our mom’s wallet at our age. We graduated from college, have successfully held real jobs,
and we are lucky enough to have a mom that believes in us enough to invest in
our dream. We do work, we just do not take money from the business yet. What comes
in has to stay in so we can build She Blames Me.

| Meyer Eadon Super Glam Glam ! |
BC: I love your fashion sense...Describe your
style to me...
ME: Unpredictable, noticeable, mood inspired, bold,
colorful, whatever calls my name really. I don’t care about the brand
as much as I care about the clothing speaking to me in some way. I want to put
it on and look in the mirror and be like yep, this is me today. I am kind of weird though. I hate when things don’t
go together. I will not even go to bed in mismatched pajamas. I’m really OCD
about that. Harv doesn’t care and that drives me crazy ! Of course, the best brands usually look the best on but I
can seriously make an outfit everything I want it to be just by mix matching
different pieces. I am not an ensemble off the mannequin at the mall kind of
girl. That alone gives me anxiety. We pick and pull our clothes from so many
places and do a lot of shopping online.

HE: Is it wrong to say that I think this
question is like asking me
to tack a cloud down to my
bulletin board!
BC: Absolutely not! Please elaborate...
 |
| The Chameleon of Style Harvin Eadon |
HE: My wardrobe begins with my skin; my style is my decor. I have
multiple personalities when it comes to my style. My skin and my style have a
relationship. I use style to exaggerate my mood, my feelings, my aspirations, my
alter ego, my moments, etc. To give specifics on what I usually lean towards
when decorating myself I would have to say my style can go
from boho-chic looks, rocker misfit, I stay hooked on a fringe binge,
eclectic, tom boyish (i.e. over sized arm hole tops with skinny
jeans), hippie inspired,
Grecian, and over the top. This does not mean you won’t catch me in a pair of
1990 Hollister jeans or mismatched sweats… my bum look… I’m not
scared. ( laughs) Oh
and then there’s my robe. I feel like I’m nurturingmyself in my robe. I’m also totally with my sis on the mannequin look thing. I am not real fond of department stores, but I will snag pieces from
there every now and
then just to
couple with something that I already have. We are both far from your conforming
cookie cutters. We do what we want.

ME: We are inspired by people that spend time wallowing around
in their own negativity, while looking for ways to redirect their own
insecurities by lashing out on other people. Long story short, we gain a lot of
our inspiration from bitches that hate us. I say that with love, I swear I
do.

| Wearing The "Jenny" Harvin Eadon is breaking free from the scrutiny of undercover haters! |
HE: Yea, you have to understand this brand
completely before you can truly join its forces. This is not a one-stop-shop to
bash every hateron planet
earth. That would make us
no different than them. It
is not about the hater, its what you do with the hate. Where do you put it? How
do you use it? She Blames
Me is the mantra for all people who yearn to love themselves and believe in themselves in a way
that can ricochet hate by using a positive approach to become a hater deactivator. Women especially will pour countless amounts
of energy and effort into “getting back” at whoever put them down last or hurt
them on some level. Our question is why? Why would you breathe life into the
insults, into the critic? That is fuel for the wrong fire. When you become the
fuel for their fire, you become the reason they are empowered within their negative approach
to people and life. Instead, we believe that we ARE the fire and the critics are
our steady fuel. Fuel to build our dreams, work harder, hustle, and prevail.
Haters are followers. Jealousy is so often the world’s worst cover up for
admiration. Envy can be a monster. It is not a good look. Jealousy fights
at ones soul like an army.
It seeks vengeance on
everyone around you and ultimately ends up being the destruction of your own self. It’s very
difficult to combat negativity without the right state of mind. Those that throw
stones at you should be the same stones you build yourself up with. Perspective
is everything. Haters are motivating and inspiring. Without them, you are doing
something wrong. Use them. Put them in your rear view and thank them for
following so close behind. But under no circumstances do you ever let them drive
your life. Let them push your life from behind while you drive it straight into
the direction of your dreams and aspirations.
ME: When building the brand from the beginning,
we knew that our greatest inspiration came from the underdogs, the bad apples,
the misfits, the mishaps, and the mistake makers.

HE: Exactly. With all the square pegs trying to
stuff themselves into round holes, we desired to create a playground for
misfits. A place where you can be whatever you dreamed of being, whatever you aspired to be, and do so
without feeling judged or discouraged. We decided to create necklaces in the
beginning. Each piece is engraved and has a strong point of view. It’s the
trophy you get to wear around any and every day to remind you that… you have
already won baby doll. Appreciate the struggle, thank the haters, align your
heart and mind with the right perspective, and fall madly in love with yourself.
It is then, that you will also be your very best to others. People will
gravitate towards you. Be blindingly bright with confidence. Fight for yourself,
not them. Fight to be your best and to build your confidence. That is your very
best revenge. If your path is to seek vengeance against a hater, then go ahead a
dig two graves. Use what haters throw at you and burn brighter, hustle harder,
and go further.

BC: Where do you see
yourselves going with your line in the
future?
ME: Everywhere!
HE ME: ( both laughing ) Really though, she’s
right. We want to expand the brand tremendously. We are mood boarding and
concept planning every day for our next collection. We want to still provide jewelry, but also provide some lower dollar items such
as quality and trendy tops that are also well endowed with the She Blames Me
perspective and lifestyle. Eventually, we will stride further into having our
own She Blames Me clothing line designed by us as well. We have so much
international interest that we are also looking forward to She Blames Me having
an international voice and reach. Soon, we hope to get She Blames Me into some
specific online retail stores that we adore as well as our favorite hand picked
boutiques. SWANK, our favorite store in Atlanta will be carrying the
line soon.That’s the thing
with She Blames Me. We are very picky about where this brand is sold and who can
best represent the brand’s
voice based on aesthetic, demographic, etc. It is important to us that She
Blames Me finds a “map quest” route to the people it really speaks to. Those who can
really embrace it in a way that we have and so many others are beginning to.
Branding is HUGE for us. We do not want to put a shred of anything out there
that does not reflect who and what this brand is all about. It’s a
lifestyle that we want
others to take hold of and know that they belong because SBM promotes
empowerment, freedom to be yourself, courage to love yourself despite criticism,
and then taking every insult as a means to compliment yourself via inspiration,
drive and motivation.
BC: Any other projects or news that can share
with my readers?
HE ME: Once we get our first round of production completely sold
(which is getting closer by the second) we want to align ourselves with a charitable organization
that we are passionate about. We want to join forces with a new friend to create something that will go towards
the rescue and adoption of animals as well as humane treatment of animals, etc.
We have not nailed down the specifics of which organization(s) we will be
teaming up with yet, but we are in talks about it now and planning for something
pretty awesome. To give you a little sneak peek… just think of dogs, our love
for dogs, our love for She Blames Me and for those that are mistreated and just
imagine a little something called “Bitches Blame Me” where proceeds would go
towards animal rights and rescue organizations. There just might be a piece that
we design for dogs (bitch being the origin of the word female dog) that just
might find itself a place under the She Blames Me brand. ;) To be
continued…
BC: Thank you so much! It was great talking with you gals and you have definitely inspired me with your positive message! I look forward to all your endeavors and hope you will keep me updated!
HE ME: Thank you! Of course! We had a fun time sharing our story with you and look forward to you sharing it with your readers!
" Don't blame me" but in my opinion the Eadon sisters have what it takes to be successful and are definitely going places that will keep people interested and wanting to follow:)!
I predict great things for these two creative and fabulous beauties and I am sure we will be hearing ( and seeing ) a lot more to come from these self proclaimed '"Blondentrepreneurs" in the future ...and that's the way I see it !
