For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term, “Private Label” means…as a Designer, I was approached by another company, who chose pieces from my collection to be manufactured under their label’s namesake. Often times, custom colors are chosen, or there are certain tweaks done to make the item slightly different or less expensive to manufacture. We are no longer Private Labeling for this company…so any similar items seen out there in the world are NOT done by me or anyone associated with “Cute Booty” Lounge Collection or Kelly Nishimoto. I have always prided myself on running an ethical company. It’s not easy being an entrepreneur…but I make it work. So it’s disheartening to see something you have worked so hard on for so many years, be replicated with disregard. </p> <p>This whole situation got me thinking about “The History of “Cute Booty”!</p> <p>I sewed the 1st pair in my garage in 2004. I thought they were too sexy to wear in public, so I threw them in a drawer! One day, I decided to meet my hot & muscular trainer friend at the Gold’s Gym in North Hollywood…and I had absolutely nothing to wear! So I pulled those pants out and put them on! As soon as I walked in the door, I was bombarded with comments, questions, & stares…and I knew I had stumbled upon something GREAT! I debuted them for the first time in October 2005 on the runway at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Los Angeles! I have since designed many versions of my “Cute Booty” Pants! They have sold in over 150 Boutiques and Department Stores! They have also graced famous booty’s such as, The Kardashians, Kimora Lee, Hillary Duff, Nicollette Sheridan, Taraji P. Henson, Courtney Cox, Leah Remini, Marley Shelton, Mary J. Blige, Jada Pinkett, Paula Abdul, Jennifer Lopez, Meiko, Katy Perry, Demi Moore, Eva Mendez, Roselyn Sanchez, Tori Spelling, Nicole Richie, Megan Fox, Kate Hudson, Miley Cyrus, Eva Longoria, Heidi Klum, and many, many, countless others…</p> <p>In celebration of my “Cute Booty” History and accomplishments, I decided to do a timeline so all of you can see the sequence of events! And for anyone who questions the origin of “Booty Pants” and doesn’t know my work, I hope you see who really created these luscious, scrunchy little pants that make your booty’s so cute!</p> <p>I feel honored and blessed to be able to do what I love on a daily basis…and to have so much support from my family, friends, and clients over the years…and on top of that, I am with the love of my life, who just also happens to be that hot & muscular trainer friend from the gym back in 2004 ;)!</p> <p>So Peace, Love, & Cute Booty wishes to all!</p>http://www.noseynishimoto.com/post/23254173831http://www.noseynishimoto.com/post/23254173831Thu, 17 May 2012 15:58:00 -0700cute booty historytimeline<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3jb6x1s8w1qc07puo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Love thus!

I never looked in the mirror and wondered if I were “sexy”. I remember always wanting to just look “cool”.</p> <p>In my 20’s I gained a little and basically ate anything I wanted. Rice, Bread, Ice cream, Pasta…anything and everything…without restriction. I didn’t realize the effects it had on my body, my mind, and my energy. My weight has never really bothered me…but I knew I didn’t look my personal best! And I knew I just didn’t feel good…</p> <p>Above, I remember asking a friend to take pictures of me in the red & white bikini so I could get a “realistic view of what I looked like…and when I saw them…I thought to myself “Hmmm…I don’t look that bad”. And now…Looking back…I didn’t look that bad…but I din’t look that good either!</p> <p>The “After” Pictures represent me now. There is clearly a HUGE physical difference in my body…and there is a definitely a difference in my mind :)</p> <p>After highschool, I barely exercised…In fact, I rarely excercised. You would never find me in the gym and I was kinda proud of that fact.</p> <p>Now, I am in my 30’s…and working out has become part of my life! And not because I’m trying to out do anyone or flash my body (I’m actually pretty modest…at least, I think I am). But what I’ve come to realize is that it’s super important be a balanced and healthy…And if you knew my schedule, you would know that it’s hard to fit anything in! But it’s a must! I’m at the gym by 7 or 7:30 every morning and at the office by 9:30. You HAVE to MAKE time for yourself!</p> <p>I actually feel ridiculed or looked down upon sometimes because I care about how I look and that I take the time to pay attention to diet & exercise . I often get comments like…”You look fine”, “You’re too skinny”, What did you eat today…a grape?” Well…If you are curious…this is what I eat in a typical week…</p> <p>Monday-Friday</p> <ol><li>Breakfast - Plain Oatmeal sprinkled with cinnamon (no sugar!) and a handful of organic blueberries or Egg whites with ground turkey, onions, bell pepper, and a pancake made with oat bran, nonfat greek yogurt & egg whites with sugar free syrup</li> <li>Snack - Low fat Cottage Cheese with Organic Cherry tomatoes & cracked pepper</li> <li>Lunch - Broth based soup with salad and quinoa, or homemade spaghetti sauce with zucchini instead of noodles, or boneless skinless chicken thighs cooked in BBQ Sauce with sauteed veggies (asparagus is best) NO CORN!</li> <li>Snack - More chicken</li> <li>Dinner - Either Fish, Chicken, or Steak and Sauteed Veggies (cooked with olive oil, garlic salt, soy sauce) Everything is Lightly Seasoned, NOT overcooked, & VERY LIGHT OIL! I cook my fish in 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil…</li> <li>Dessert - Almond Butter & Sugar Free Jelly, Sugar Free Popsicles, or Sugar Free/Fat Free whipped chocolate, vanilla, or coffee mousse</li> <li>I drink LOTS of Water, 1 cup of coffee a day (with Splenda), Tea (No Sugar), sometimes Diet Coke, or Crystal Light (Also good with Vodka instead of juice)</li> </ol><div>On the weekends…I eat a fairly healthy breakfast and lunch…and for dinner, I eat whatever I want! Del Taco, Mexican Food, Bread, Pasta, Tiramasu, Fried Chicken, Macaroni & Cheese, etc…!</div> <p>Does it look like I starve myself or under eat?</p> <p>I go to the gym 3-4 times per week…and I try to do 20-40 minutes of cardio and 45 min of weights each time. I try to take a dance/yoga class on Saturdays if I get up early enough. But, I NEVER beat myself up if I eat something bad on a weekday or if I don’t make it to the gym…</p> <p>The key for me is to try and be balanced….which is not always easy…and takes some work!</p> <p>So, I hope this helps for those of you who are stuck. The 1st step is to GET TO THE GYM…usually after you are there…you will feel excited to get started :) And if not…just start with a 20-40 minute walk in your neighborhood in the mornings or after dinner…I promise…you will feel a BIG difference :)</p>http://www.noseynishimoto.com/post/19325060304http://www.noseynishimoto.com/post/19325060304Wed, 14 Mar 2012 19:27:03 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0qu6qBNuv1qc07puo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Killin’ it at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles (Taken with <a href="http://instagr.am">instagram</a>)</p>http://www.noseynishimoto.com/post/19147579840http://www.noseynishimoto.com/post/19147579840Sun, 11 Mar 2012 16:20:49 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02yphtYdm1qc07puo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>My Grandmother always said…</p> <p>“Opinions are like assholes…everyone has one…and everyone’s stinks…</p> <p>So, with that being said…mine is just one of many :)</p>http://www.noseynishimoto.com/post/18413010988http://www.noseynishimoto.com/post/18413010988Mon, 27 Feb 2012 17:56:04 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m02vxu4fi41qc07puo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://www.noseynishimoto.com/post/18408845250http://www.noseynishimoto.com/post/18408845250Mon, 27 Feb 2012 16:56:18 -0800
