I am such a big fan of you! I want to be a fashion designer when I grow up also. I'm only one year younger than you! A sixth grader. I just finished reading book 1 and can't wait to go to the library to get book 2! Bye!
Hi Katani! I was wondering how you got the nickname kgirl. i'm trying to think of a nickname for myself. bye. sweetart bsg
Hey sweetart bsg. I just curled up with my fave yellow notebook and wrote down every name I could think up for like ten minutes. Then, when I was done, I picked the one I liked the best. Try it!
Hi I just wanted you to tell me anouther tip about fastion, this girl just came up to me and told me that my outfit doesn't match i was waering a long sleves and capres that was orange and pink does that match? write me back if you can
Whats up Kgirl, Where did you get your clothes at.
Miamia22
Hey Miamia22! I get a lot of my clothes at discount stores. Then I jazz them up myself with special Kgirl stuff, like adding awesome accessories or fabric edging.
Hi I just wanted to tell you that my friends always read this books the beacon street girls and i thought that they were dum but then i read good news bad news and i love it these books are very good books and right know i'm on just kidding
i was wondering if you can make another fashion designing contest sinse i missed the last one. i bsolutly love fashion designing, it's my life. i have over 80 designs and i am trying to learn to sew. by the way i have a question, i like this guy alot sinse i met him on the first day of junior high. though at least a month ago i have found out he asked out my ex-best friend, i convinced myself that it won't last long but then a couple of days ago i found out that he went up to her at a party and kissed her now my friend is telling me she saw them making out. i'm absolutly crushed, now i'm thinking he thinks were just good friends sinse we talk alot, what should i do? p.s. i'm very shy so i can't tell him my feelings without fainting.
Hey HSYD101! Girl, you need to put on a cute new outfit and get over that boy. You can't change how other people feel, but you can change how YOU feel! And I always feel better when I look good.
Katani, I HAVE A MAJOR FASHION PROBLEM!!! My school has uniforms and whenever I try to jazz it up(with a bow,sparkly headband,ect.) I get in trouble. I hate getting in trouble(I,m all for MOST of the rules)!!! What should I do??
Hey ArtGirl5039711! Would you be allowed to wear a sparkly hair elastic? That would add some twinkle to your uniform! Is there a rule against decorating your book bag? If not, and your parents don't mind, you could put some cute pins on your bag.
Hi Katani, There is a "girl" and school and is pretty annoying... what should i do, beacause i dont wanna hurt her feelings. HELP HELP HELP! sweetart bsg
Hi Katani, I was wondering if you had any tips that can be very useful when someone insults you and you don't know how to deal with it. Should I tell an adult or keep it to myself.
Depends on how bad the insult is. If you feel like you're in any kind of danger, like the person threatened you, you should definitely tell an adult right away. Same if what the person said makes you feel really bad about yourself, or really angry at that person. If it's just a little comment, let it go. So not worth your time to get upset about it! But when in doubt, always go to an adult. (Like, I tell my mom when something is really bothering me. Sometimes she can't do anything about it, but just telling her makes me feel so much better!)
How do you make your clothes? I can't even knit a stitch (or whatever its called) Can you teach me? Still, your clothes look like they came out of a fashion magazine.
A lot of times I start with something I bought, like a pair of jeans, and add stuff to make it totally Kgirl - like fabric edging in a cool print.
Hi Katani .i love to by my clothes at abercrombie for kids at the mall i love to shop for clothes and shoes with my aunt it is sooo much fun[she has a lot of style!]
hey katani i ride horses too. i have 3. their names are apatchie george and hugo. love them. they rock. you should totally try jumping somday. it is so much fun. if you have already learned to jump please right back and tell me if you love it as much as me and how many jump bars you can do i can do 3 and it took me a long time to get their cause of singing and acting lessons and i am learning to sew to sew might start a fashion bussines. luv ya
Hey egirl226! I'm just learning to jump now. It's kind of scary but also really fun!
My sister has a disability too, and I hate it when people are rude to her. Can you give me some advice? PLEEEEEESE?
Girl, I know what you're saying. I hate it when people are mean or rude to Kelley. But most of the time it's because they just don't understand her disability, or they can't see past it to the real her. Sometimes I just let stares and comments and stuff go, because it's not even worth my time to think about it. Or I just explain whatever they don't understand. But if someone says or does something really bad, I tell them that they're hurting my sister's feelings - AND mine. That usually gets them to stop.
i LOVE fashion designing to!my friend and i were asked to design new uniforms for another school close by, and they were awesome!even though i was in second grade they loved and took it.Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaasse write back soon!
I like being organized 2 if my room is messy all clean it but im not a neat freak but i can get prety into my cleaning and all clean even if my friends are around!! I dont clean my freinds rooms though!
Katani, I admire the way you stand up for what you believe in. You are so protective of Kelly and I find it amazing how easily you can calm her and how much she looks up to you. Can you send me some tips? Thanks, christmas55
It's not always easy dealing with Kelley. Sometimes I get soooo annoyed with her! But then I remind myself of some good time we've had together in the past, or how she's helped me feel better lots of times, and I feel less irritated. It also helps me to take a break from the situation for a little while if I start to feel upset. Then when I come back, I talk to Kelley really calmly, which helps her feel calmer, too.
Hey Katani I really like you. you have such a good style. I wish i could have such a good sence of style like you do plus i want to know how to make my own close -tootsieroll186
Hi Kgirl! Ihave a question. How can I fix a friendship problem. Me and my friends fought a lot after we formed a club. We were mostly fighting because of thejobs we gave out to each other. They think it's really unfair. But one of my friend agrees that the jobs are really important and we can't change it. -Confuse
When the BSG are mad at each other (sometimes it happens!) we have a club meeting to work stuff out. You guys should get together and take turns saying what you think about the jobs. That way everyone's opinion will get heard.
Dear Kgirl Hi it's me, Sgirl. I formed a club with my bff's and I want to recommend the book beacon street girls. But they never heard of it. How should I get them to read it? -Sgirl
Katani, I love your books and you're just like me. I have been the tall one for a while and I am African American. I like fashion, designing clothes and business. The only thing that we don't have in common is, I can dance really well! Kinda like Beyonce and Ciara.
I own ALL of the books and have read them like a thousand times you guys are sooooooooooooooo inspiring and I have tried to get my friends to read your books but they think it is too girly. I convince them soon.
dear doubletrouble, omg!! i had to get glasses, but my friends are so cool about it! when i told them, they started laughing and i was scared they would make fun of me, but no did! and now, im totally NOT ashamed of them! i only have to use them to see the bored (so im not always waering them, i only wear them when i really need them) so dont worry about it!!!! -angel124
dear MClarshottiexox, omg! me and you have alot in common by just the little that you wrote! lol i love to do fashion designing, and omg, i LOVE tyra banks! shes my role-model! shes so beautiful too! do u watch americas next top model---cz i love that show! and if i walked by a store called suga and spice, i would totally go in to look around! ill model your fashion designs, and your friend can be the photographer! lol jk! i know, you don't even know me! lol im a very crazy person!!: ) my mom thinks i could be a model. but i really wanna be an actress and singer! bye!
-angel124
ps- whos MClars>> my fave singer is Rihanna! i love umbrella, pon de replay, s.o.s, and unfaithful (by her)
dear doubletrouble, omg! i hate when my friends do that! tell your friend to grow up! and if shes talking bhind your back, she is definetly not a true friend! just give her the silent treatment, and when she asks why, tell her that u dont wanna be friends with someone that talks behind your back!
hey katani it's MCLarshottiexox here and by the way MClars is my all time favorite singer! anyways my dream is to be a fashion designer and my friend wants to be my photographer! we already sketched out our clothing line it looks really good so far! we want to call our store Suga and Spice! do u like it??? my idol is you (of course) and Tyra banks! TTYL!
my friend that is talking b-hind my back is saying that i like this one guy who i have been just friends with 4ever. she is getting annoying. please help. doubletrouble
Dear Kantini, I love riding, and desinging clothes! but I love horses! Do you like horses? I am sure you do, beacuse you are on front cover with a horse on book #7. Bye!
I love horses! Especially Penelope. Check out Book #8, Lucky Charm, to read all about it!
Hey Katani, I have 2 get glasses, and i keep asking if my friends will call me names. and they say they won't but 1 of my friends is calling me 4eyes behind my back. What should i do? Doubletrouble
Hey doubletrouble. Your friend is probably doing that just because she knows it bothers you. So don't let it get to you! Anyway, Charlotte has glasses, and nobody makes fun of her! So don't worry about it. Glasses can be soooo chic. Make sure you get some super fashionable frames (I like tortoise shell pattern), and you'll be all set!
i am on your 3rd book i just finnshed the chapter when meaves parents are getting a divorce.ouch i feel bad for her.and now avery is trying hide marty but her mom is sneezing and charalottle is coming back for new york cityyyy
Dear Katani,would you help me????Well me and my friends did this club called BSG!!well we fight a lot!it was last monday me and one of my friend caused a fight.it all started in lunch i was going to sit with my old friend and then my other friend says to come sit with her she always judges me.she alaways get mad at me if i do something wrong to her.when she looks at me she sometimes gives me adittudes.then we were at recess she said why don't we start a new club.were all like, what?i said why should we start a new one if we all ready did this hard work on this one.and then she justs leaves.i got so sad beacause i never lost a friend.at the bathroom she starts talking about me.she says to this girl about me that me and her that we are barrely friends. we havent talk yet.tell me should i still talk to her yes or no?please tell me.well got to go.
Hey lights. You should talk to your friend, but not in a mean or angry way. Have a heart-to-heart and let her know you guys were confused by what she said and did. Then really listen to her explanation! Communication is key, girl.
Dear Katani, I have a question. I think that your name is prounouced KAH-tan-EE, but my best friend thinks that it's KAH-ti-Ni or KAH-tin-AH. Can you please write back and tell me which is correct?? PLEASE???????
No problem, Lunatuna. Lots of people have trouble with my name! You say it kuh-TAH-nee.
do you have a crush on anyone in any upcoming books if you do who? Is it Nick, Dillion, Billy Josh Kevin OR or Chase. Oh by the way It would be mean for you to like nick or kevin because your bffs alreay have a crush on them
hey I have this friend and this friend doesn't like three of my other friends and they're all coming to my b-day party and one friend dated another friend and broke up with that friend last year! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! what do i do!!!!!!
Sounds like a lot of drama! You can't really control what other people do, so just let them settle their problems themselves and enjoy yourself at your party. And if things get out of hand at the party, tell an adult who's there (like your mom) and she can help you figure it out.
Hey Katani, I read the book from you guyz and it was so awesome, i just love the book, well i yesterday i just started, but right now i am on chapter, and i am reading it right now. So how was your day been going so far? And how was school by the way, well last time i had a terrible day at school and it's because that, all the guyz in my class were making fun of me just because I'm weak, i have hairy arms, and ugly clothes, so what can i do to make them stop bullying me?
Hi Katani! YOU ROCK! I have always wanted to be a fashion designer, I've been designing since I was five! I have already posted two comments on the 'Ask Amy Tan' comments page. I wish that I could make clothes. I design them, but I don't know how to sew clothes! I onlu know the basics. So I'm kind of stuck. HELP ME!!! I hope you write back!
The great thing about sewing is that there is always more to learn. Check to see if there are any sewing classes in your area and improve your skills!
I'm in big trouble! There are these girls who are nice then mean! And when there mean is when I don't wear Abercrombie clothes! And I only have like three things from there! What should I do?
Whoa! What's up with the devotion to Abercrombie? Fashion isn't about copy trends. It's about taking those trends and making them your OWN. So what if you don't have Abercrombie clothes? Save your money for stuff you REALLY want to wear.
hi katani, you are a pretty good character,no offence but your not my fav. character,your probably# 4 i am really sorry!! i bet you don't know why i am sorry. in one of the beacon street girls books i thought you were Meave!!! isn't that weird !!! i know you guys are nothing a like. your reader,and friend, penguin17
Hey Kgirl, I'm reading your book ( well it seams mostly about you)book #9. It's awsome! I haven't finished it I'm only on chapter 3 so plz don't spoile it but on a scale of 1-10 how hard was it to choose only 1 BSG member? From, Just Asking p.s. It SO cool u design fasions! I want a sewing machine so I can make my own clothes too! I've already taken sewing lessons. I made some pjs!
Hey Kgirl! My friends formed a club but we always have fights, still I love my friends. I thought you will know how to fix this problem since you are so organized and gone trough a lot of sticky situations. Please help! -Your friend Sgirl
Hey Sgirl! Try to figure out why you guys are fighting. Is it because you're spending too much time together? Or are you fighting about the rules of the club? If so, maybe the club isn't such a good idea. Get down to the bottom of it, and try to make some changes before it gets to the point where ALL you do is fight!
Hi Katani You rock! I like horses too, But my mom won't let me ride bc she is afraid of them and I'm short so she doesn't want me to get hurt. I appreciate that she cares but its just that I really want to ride. What should I do?
Heyy Katani, I want to design clothes when i am older. Kids clothes though. I need some tips on how to givce my clothes a little bit of uff if you know what i mean.
Being fashionable can also mean being affordable! Learn to sew, and that will save you from the expensive curse of Prada and other things that cost you a TON!!!!!!!
Right! Many community centers and craft stores offer sewing classes. Check them out!
TTYL,
Thanks! I'd say that tall black boots under a long skirt is great! I usually wear knee-high boots with a knee-length skirt so that you can see just a bit of my skin. I think it looks chic!
i love me my friends say i have problems like boy problems and family problems and do you want to know who i have boy troubles over okay so there is this boy he is so cute i like him so much and i think he likes me but my ex boyfriend wont let him like me because he is jealous help me bye this is stinky
Dear Katani, I love you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I want to be JUST LIKE Y-O-U!!!!!!!! I want to be good at fashion, math,style and buisness! Love, Your #1 fan.
Dear Lunatuna,
Thanks! But, you know, you should be happy just being yourself! That's soooo Kgirl!
Dear Katani, I really think that you are bold with your WONDERFUL fashion statement.I think that you are GREAT with a needle in your hand, ecpessialy if there is fabric in the other!
i have an outfit that needs to be kgirl-a-fied! what do you think of a black dress that's about down to my shins with tall black boots under it? i think that it is cute but my friend thinks that it's dorky. what do u think?
please give me ur opinion!
luv katani 2 pieces!
~ BSG lover 95!
Thanks! I'd say that tall black boots under a long skirt is great! I usually wear knee-high boots with a knee-length skirt so that you can see just a bit of my skin. I think it looks chic!
Hi Katani If there would be a beacon street girls movie i would love to play you, you are my all time favorite character! Like you I want to start my own fashion buisness.
hey kgirl, first off i want to say that i admire u so much. u r the best. i have a question about fashion. im in a school where people their r big on fashion and when ever i want to wear sumthin that i like i think about the people that would critzize me.i mean should i go with what they're wearing and they're style or should i just do my own thing and forget about what they say because i dont want to made fun of and i want to make my own decisions.plz help.and i need fashion tips before im the laughing stock of the school.
Hands down, you should totally stick with your own style and wear what you want to wear. Fashion is all about individualism and creativity, not about copy-catting!
hey i am your #1 fan i luv u so much and i am new here i need a little bit of help and i want some fashion tips thanks and hope to talk to u soon and also mi name is lovesky150
You've come to the right place! Check out my Kgirl fashion articles!
Dear Kgirl, I want to learn how to sew, but my mom is making me do all these kinds of sports that I don't really like. The only sport that I really like is golf because I don't get real sweaty and because you're suppost to wear kaky's and all of my shirts match kaky's. How can I tell my mom that I only want to do golf? Luv Kgirl101
katani i wish i can be like you and dress like you because i think that we can be sister's and stuff i almost dress like you and act like you and i know you do not like bugs same with me i hate bugs one time i had crumbs in the back of my closet and i forgot to clean it up so i left there over night and the next morning i woke up i went into the bathroom and they was just crawling every where and i kept itching and my mom said check your closet and i said there was no bugs in there and then my mom went to check the closet then she said there the bugs and i was just freaking out and they got all over my clothes and we had to go shopping for some new clothes so i gave my old clothes to the homeless and when i got my new clothes they were slamming cause i went to newyork and got them from the most greatest places in new york a nd shop i forgot the name of the stores because they sounded like french well ; Smiley
Hey Kgirl I don`t have a sense of style could you give me any tips?
No style
Style is all about who YOU are, so you gotta find it for yourself! But one thing you can do to start is wear a funky necklace or an unusual belt. Just one crazy piece can make a whole outfit shine!
Hi Katani!!! sorry if I spelled it wrong! I kind of got mad at my friend the other day, and I put my feelings on a comment on Maeve and I didn't meen to send it so could you like say sorry for me from karkar99 and have her e-mail me back ? thanks a lot your favorite fan, karkar99- Karlie!
Karkar99, Girlfriend,I'm so glad you wrote and apologized. Sometimes we get upset at one thing and the next person who comes along is the one we take it out on. That person has no idea what's going on. I've explained the situation to Maeve and let her know that you're sorry. You might wish to apologize yourself too.
TTYL,
P.S. Hey Club BSGers, remember, Club BSG is a place where you can be yourself but you also need to remember that we're all on this ol' planet together and we need to be nice to each other.
I love to go on Istant messager every day after school tell i go to bed. Becuase im not doing any sports tell Spring time so im always bored. And none of my friends live clseo to me so i can't chill with them. I have these fourt friends, they live in differnet states then I do. All four of the blocked me becuase they don't really know me. And one of them said i was annoying becuase i always complained to her. Well i thought she was a good friend but i guess I was wrong. I don't want my other friends / penpals to block me what should i do. from Don't want 2 lose anymore friends
Katani I have a great fashion tip!Don't wear a headband the same color as your shirt it just doesn't match very well !try the same color as your pants.BTW will a boy notice you if you wear great clothes?
A boy MIGHT notice you if you wear great clothes, but girl, that is so not the point! Fashion is all about how you feel about yourself. And when you look good, you feel good. That's like Kgirl rule #1.
cuttie33 Writes: i need a new but awsome new look what do i do
littlewoz1119523 Writes: i want 2 change my look but how??????
Start small. As in, small but totally fabulous: ACCESSORIES. Try a necklace or a bracelet in a style you wouldn't normally wear, or maybe a different kind of belt or bag. Little changes add up big time when it comes to fashion!
Katani- How do you stay so organized having three sisters??? It is so sweet that you are always watching out for Kelley. I sure do hope that you have your own fashion empire someday!!!
It's sooo not easy staying organized at my house, especially sharing a room with my sister. Basically I try to make sure I always put away everything in its place, like keeping sewing materials in my sewing drawer and school stuff in my book bag. That way I always know where to find it when I need it!
Hey kgirl! when istarted to read your books aqnd found your nicname was kgirl i freaked out!!! cause hey so is mine! Anyway i have a question while i'm at it! Dose any of the BSG play an instrument 'cause i haven't read them for very long. if not, try it!!
That's a great idea! I know Isabel plays the guitar a little, and I think Maeve used to play the violin. Do you play an instrument?
TTYL,
you wrote me this and so i'm replying, i do play the violin
Hi KGirl!!! I think I am like you alot! I LOVE fashion and I like to be organized and plan things out! What is your favorite color? Right now I am on book #2 (almost finished though!) I can't wait to read more.
Hey girl! As a designer I have a lot of favorite colors, but right now I'm really into golden yellow. So sunny and chic.
Everyone else is saying they are just like you... but I'm nothing like you! But when I was little my favorite color was oragne for a looong time, when all the other girls loved pink. Anyways, don't say you can't do sports. Anyone can do anything! The problem is, that some girls give up and say they "stink" at somthing if they don't master it right away. Don't be like that! Stand up strong!
Hey girl! You are so right. We girls can do anything we set our minds to! I'll def take your advice when it comes to sports. Thanks for the encouragement.
WELL UR HAIRSTYLE IS QUITE KUL. ACTUALLY I NID A BIT FASHION TIPS FROM U AS MY HAIRS ARE LONG PPL SAY I CAN MAKE MANY HAIRSTYLES BUT WEN START MAKIN MY HAIRS GET SPOILED PLZ. GIV ME A SOLUTION FOR DIS. TC... BYE...
I have lots of stories to share if you message me!
Olivia
Hey Livvy,
Thanks for the compliment on my logo! I think it definitely has Kgirl style. As for your boring old jeans, why not try using a long, skinny scarf as a belt? That's what I suggested to Nik and Sam when the BSG went to Montana, and it looked so awesome when they wore the belts on stage! (You can read about it in Book 11, Ghost Town).
Hey Katani!! You are my favorite Beacon Street Girl of all time!! I want to be in the fashion business too!! I love putting outfits together like a jigsaw puzzle with lots of taste in fashion!! Thank you Katani!! You are so cool!! Bye Katani!! Gwyn P.S(I hope you like my entry for the Costume Conundrum!!)
Dear Katani, I love your logo, Kgirl. Its awesome and totally shouts YOU!! Fashion is my fave thing, and horses are cool. I once rode one, so to me they are sweet! Kelley is really really funny and nice toward you and your best friends, Isabel, Maeve, Charlotte, and Avery, and Mr. Martay!
Hi. I don't want to repeat what you always hear which is: "I'm just like you!" BUT I would like to point out that we are the same because we are both leaders. I was already pretty confident but when I read "Out of Bounds" I become the confident queen. It was so awesome how you ran the talent show and came up with those ideas with the BSG. Thank you so much for helping me!
Hey Katani! You are such a style queen! I totally need fashion tips! My jeans sometimes are looking pretty boring. What can I do to make them look like boring to shine?! I have belts & everything, but I don't know what to do with the boring old jeans!
Girls, I have some other fashion tips too!! Just send a reply with this box and say,
Kgirl, u are one of the best. I love ur fashion. I wish I could be like that. I just wanted to mention that maybe that u guys could wear pink to fight bullies. I credit this to two boys in Canada, i had no part in it expect to try to spread it.
Dear Katani,I like your logo.I want one too because I sooooo want to be a fashion designer.My name is Gayathri.Cana you make me one.My fave colour is orange. Can you please,give me some fashion tips about clothing?Gotta go! Your ultimate fan,Gayathri
Hey Kgirl! I am almost just like you! I love fashion and designing clothes and absolutely love horses and riding. message me back! Colleen
Hi Colleen,
Yup, I looove riding horses. It is one of my favorite things to do. Plus, my sister Kelley likes it, too. Fashion rocks and so does designing clothes. My future fashion empire is going to be called Kgirl. Good luck with YOUR future fashion empire!
Dear Katani, I am currently reading the Beacon Street Girls series and it is the most awesome series ever!!!!! While I have been reading it I have realized how similar we are, we both love designing things, although I haven’t quite moved on to designing clothes (at least not yet and we are both great at math! ( I am taking grade 9 math during grade 8 and am so psyched for the challenge ) I’m also great at science like you but it isn’t really my thing. My mom says my love of crafts and stuff is because I am artistic but I know I’m more like you than Isabel and it ‘s because I love to design things. You’re campaign posters in Promises, Promises helped me get over my designer’s block and inspired this year’s locker magnets ( I design and make tons of cute magnets every year for my locker). I want to be either an interior designer or an architect when I grow up. Like I said before I love to make crafts I knit, I sew, I even paint but that’s to make things that I’ve designed not for like paintings, lately I have been making these cute barefoot sandal jewelry things from beads, they are like an anklet with a string of beads and a loop at the end that goes around your second toe. Also I’ve been making some things out of air dry clay, it’s so much fun, you should try it!!!! But one of the things that we have in common makes me kind of sad; we both have an older sibling with autism. My older brother is 15 ½ and has such a severe case of autism that he can’t even talk, he doesn’t live with us anymore because he has ADHD, which makes him hard to handle. Anyways like you I am the baby of the family. And last but not least like you I am of African descent , in other words I’m black and I’m proud! But we are a bit different, in other ways I’m actually a lot like Avery… I am one of the shortest girls at school and I also love sports (not great at them though) my favourite ones are field hockey and volleyball. And in a few ways I am also like Maeve, I absolutely adore singing and kind of like dancing and have been in every school play that I possible can, and am a little teeny bit like Charlotte because people say I’m a great writer even though I don’t really like writing. And of course in the way that you are similar to Isabel so am I!
From A Beacon Street Girls and Katani Fan, Called, Amina!
Hi Amina!
Thank you so much for such a sweet comment. And you’re right, we ARE a lot alike! We have a ton of the same interests, and your original creations sound like something I’d want under my Kgirl Enterprises fashion line—well, as soon as I start it. I’m sorry to hear that your brother doesn’t live with you anymore, but I’ve learned with Kelley that loving your family and doing what’s best for each other is one of the most important things a family can do. I’ll tell the other girls they’ve got a fan in you, too!
hey k! I'm new any advice? I sooo heart fashion by the way. but I'm not really the type to follow the trends, i'm a lot better at setting them. I design clothes like ALL THE TIME. they are actually pretty good. i think. :-) so i'm in karate, but I'm really a girlie girl who just happens to be good at karate (and it's the only sport I'm good at!!) so, can i get a reply?
Hey girlfriend!
A trendsetter? That’s amazing! I love to set trends at Abigail Adams Junior High. It makes me feel like I’m practicing for my style and advice stores. That’s a fashion designer in the making! We can’t just wear what everyone else is wearing. We’ve got to use our fashion creativity! That’s so cool that you’re into karate. And you know what? You can be a girlie girl AND be into karate. I always say that confidence is one of the best accessories a girl can wear. And it sounds like with karate under your belt and an eye for style, you’ve got confidence to spare!
I love love love your character! I'm just writing this to tell you that. I'm sorry, but in book 8, Lucky Charm, I totally disagreed with you when you thought the money should go to High Hopes. Marty is more important! Anyway, I'm in book 9, Freaked Out, and you are totally acting like I would. Maeve got up way too late to get to the fashion show! Didn't you feel like you hated her at that moment? I sure did. I started reading the Beacon Street Girls series in March, I think. I really love fashion designing, but I also have a problem. I don't draw the tall, skinny people when I fashion design. I think that it's really hard! Could I get an internship at a fashion corperation even if my drawings aren't like that? Sincerely, April
Hey April!
That’s so cool that you’re a big fan of the BSG! And you know what? You are free to express your opinion about any of the books. So, thanks for sharing! In Freaked Out, yeah, I was totally annoyed with Maeve, but she’s one of my best friends, so even though we disagree sometimes, we’re still always there for one another and watching each other’s backs. You’re into designing, too? That’s so cool! One of my favorite trends in the fashion industry right now is that not all models have to be tall and thin anymore. Many fashion corporations are looking for people of all shapes and sizes, so if you design clothes for EVERYONE (and not just tall and thin girls) you’re on the right track.
Dear Katani, Hi! My name is Angel. I can't believe I'm actually talking to you. You are one of my most favorite inspirations/role models in the world. I want to become a fashion designer like you do when I grow up. I also want to become other things when I grow up, but becoming a fashion designer or clothes designer is #1 on my list. We both are kind of alike because I really don't like sports, but I do play volleyball and I'm going to do track next year in seventh grade. I also love to design clothes, but I'm the tallest in my family, so its kind of hard to make some in my size. It feels great to actually talk to one of the BSG. I feel really lucky right now. Thanks for talking to me!
Sincerely, Angel
Hey Angel!
You want to be a fashion designer too? NO WAY! I think the best thing about wanting to be a fashion designer is that you can get started right away! I’m designing all the time—whenever the mood strikes. I want to be a fashion designer AND open my own business. It’ll be a style and advice chain with stores across the nation! And you know what, Angel? I feel super tall, too, sometimes. But, that’s what makes your talent so special. And don’t worry, my Grandma Ruby says that by the time I’m in high school, there will be tons of other tall people roaming the halls.
Hey Katani! I like your logo, kgirl. It's neat! I like fashion, like you. I have never made my own clothing item before; I don't even know how to sew! You sound like an amazing friend and designer, from the books. My favorite color is periwinkle. It's a shade of purple, but I bet you already knew that! Do you like canary yellow, golden yellow, or just plain yellow? I love yellow, because it's so bright. Do you have a favorite article of clothing to make? Another question: Do you play any sports or participate in any clubs after school? Just curios. Well gotta go!

Hi Christine,
Wow—thanks for the props! You know what, though? Anyone can learn to sew—check out local community centers to see if they’re offering sewing classes and try it! I loving sewing fabrics of all different colors, but I do love yellow. Golden yellow is my favorite, especially in the fall when the color matches the leaves outside. Sometimes, nature inspires my designs! One of my favorite things to make is scarves. Scarves are the first item in my Kgirl line—hopefully soon to be followed by a complete line of fashion and accessories! Even though my sisters are totally gifted when it comes to sports, I am so completely unathletic—it’s like the sports gene just ran out after Candice and Patrice. But, sports aren’t the only after-school activities. I’m taking a knitting class at Fabric World after school, and I also love attending the Future Business Leaders of America club. After all, I want to be one!
