Being my own boss means I make very important, hi-level decisions on a daily basis, decisions like choosing a business mascot. All sound and well-rounded business plans must include a mascot, especially in this economy.

I want you all to know, I have made this decision. Meet Fritz, my dog, and the only male allowed in the studio.

When Fritz first entered the studio world he had a steep learning curve ahead of him--the world of lingerie, photography, posing and champagne is a challenging one, only those with extreme fortitude need apply.

Here Fritz ponders an important question, "garters or no garters?"
