...just doesn't make sense to me. Simpler, better, trimmer. ER, without the prefixes, is just an E and an R. Or do they mean ER like emergency room, troubleshooting etc. In that case, lets go with other words: emergency, bitter, teaser, user, slower, mystery and scammer.

Nadège Winter does it all. An avid workaholic, the Headbangirl is always working on a new project, playing on her surf board or spinning at a club near you - sometimes with hubby Pedro Winter of Ed Banger fame.
I caught up with the former Colette girl for a little chat...
You've worked at some of Paris' hottest spots, Le Palais de Tokyo, and Colette, what made you decide to start your own company?
As you've said, I have now many experiences. Starting in the music business as a label manager for Delabel Virgin Record – for 5 years – then as a head of communication at Le Palais de Tokyo, and more recently as a head of communication at Colette for 6 years. During this time, I've also been working on my own personal projects as a DJ, a journalist (TV + press) and organizing parties (…) It then became obvious that I had to start my own company as I wanted to continue developing my own point of view on various purposes. The more I grow, the more confident I get, the more I want to explore new things; and the more I am curious, the more independent I want to be .
What is NWAgency?
NWA (Nadege Winter Agency) is the name of my company. I am a freelance consultant in communication, a visual and creative director, but also producer for a new Internet TV channel Konbini TV.
Can you tell us a little bit about your newest project, Wool and the gang?
Wool and the Gang is a family initiative, a very exciting knitting line founded by some of my friends and I work as a creative director, and communication strategy manager. The line includes colorful yarn brands, DIY kits to push people to knit their own scarves, gloves, hats …We also have a few items that are sold already knitted – It's now available online at www.woolandthegang.com and exclusively sold at Colette.
What did you want to be or do when growing up?
When I was very young, I wanted to attend the Fame school to dance, sing, and play all day long. But I remember I've always been attracted to marketing and communication and charitable work. I wanted to help people around me and be an artist.
So here we are now, I'm a creative consultant, I work at developing more and more green projects, and I also try to pursue my artistic aspirations.
Now that you're a DJ, an all around PR girl, an event planner, a journalist, a wife, and I hear you've recently started singing with "The Shoppings", is there anything that you don't do?
Ahaha, Gold digga'!
What's playing on your ipod these days?
Right now Kanye West but I also love the new TV on THE RADIO album.
And what can we wish you for 2009?
Unconditional love, a peaceful life, great surf experience, an explosion busine$ wise, and more and more discoveries.
Merci Nadège

Attention all unapologetic spenders!
Women's Health Magazine (Dec 08) lists the healthy benefits of shopping in the article creatively entitled, How Manolos Can Save Your Life.

Conclusion: if the shoes fits, yes go ahead and buy it.
