An update from Michael Vass - President of M V Consulting, Inc.

Hello everyone.

I just wanted to take a moment to discuss what is currently going on with M V Consulting, Inc. these days. As many of my long-time readers are aware, we are constantly trying new ideas and working behind the HTML to provide the best expereince possible to our visitors. While the current economic crisis has made several things more difficult, we have not stopped in that movement forward.

In particular, some may have noticed that there have not been updates at the VASS political blog in a while. That is not because I have have stopped writting on the subject. In fact I have been discussing various aspects of the economy, stock market, Obama Administration, stimulus package and more.

There has been a technical difficulty on that blog, and as such we are in the process of moving it. The web address will remain http://www.mvass..com, but you will soon see that the platform is very different. We will be using the popular Wordpress platform, and with that change will come a new look for the site. I ask that you bear with us and check back for an update on the status of that redesign.

Those that have visited our online store will note that there have been several new clothing designs since the new year started. A couple of those clothing designs are to address the on-going trend (as I see it) of police murders and abuse of power. This may be most notable in the deaths of Oscar Grant, Sean Bell, Adoplh Grimes, and many others.



But in addition to those t-shirts, there are also several other designs from my latest graphic designer Heidi Baker. That includes the Wanna Ride (male and female versions), Respect My Mind, Fluffy and Loveable and other designs. And more designs are coming soon. Also, new versions of some of the older designs will be forth coming to include Asian consumers. As always, our goal is to be inclusive, not exclusive.

Another related item that is capturing a bit of my time is an upcoming photo shoot near the end of this month. We have several models in place to highlight multiple t-shirts, sweatshirts, and other designer goods found in our online store. We are planning to add several more calendars (male and female) and model foucused items in the near future as well.

Any models that are interested in the details can contact us at info@vassconsult.com to learn more.

Normally around this time of year I like to ask my visitors to help me contribute to a various charity. Given the nature of the economy I will not ask readers this year. Instead I will be making one or more donations, on or about my birthday, which I will post as usual.

You can also look forward to interviews with Dennis Dortch (director of A Good Day to Be Black and Sexy) and Tim Alexander (director of Diary of a Tired Black Man). Currently both interviews are being transcribed, and once done will be posted. But I recommend both movies, which are now out on DVD.

There is also a review of the book Picking Cotton, the real-life story of Ronald Cotton who was wrongly imprisoned for a crime he did not commit and Jennifer Thompson-Cannino who wrongly identified him for the crime. I will be posting my thoughts on the issue and the book shortly.

But obviously the economic environment has affected M V Consulting, like it has everyone else. So there has been a lot more work going on for our clients. This has reduced the time we have to write our posts. Thus we have slowed from 5 - 7 posts a day, to 2 - 5. We will always strive to provide our content on a regular basis, but far more important is that we will always only provide quality.

I would rather we say less, if it means more.

And of course we are continuing to seek out advertisers that wish to provide quality products to the tens of thousands of visitors in all the 125+ nations that visit our sites each month. Potential advertisers can see out rates, and/or contact us at info@vassconsult.com for more details. But never fear as we will limit the number of ads to prevent clutter as much as possible.

In all we are moving forward. The economic crisis is daunting, but we are secure and well positioned.

Lastly, I want to thank you for your time and continued support. Whether its a purchase from our online store, checking out one of our advertiser's sites, commenting on or just reading our posts, it is your involvement that has made this site so popular. That is why we at M V Consulting, Inc. are so dedicated to provide you the best experience we can.

Sincerely

Michael Vass
