September 23rd 2018 at 5pm
6359 Airport Road
Sedalia CO 80135
Tickets $10.00

I am absolutely thrilled to be part of this amazing event happening this weekend as we all come together to tune out noise and tune into our hearts. This event was created through amazing people connecting through The Foundlings, a non-profit organization that I am a part of as Sammy Taggett and I bring hope and inspiration back to the orphanage where we came from! A beautiful soul, Sarah Westwood, helped us get this non-profit on it’s feet and she connected us with the amazing Michael Blu.  Their passions combined partnered up with the Foundlings for this memorable and peaceful event.

Mile High Global Meditation is the brainchild of Michael-Blu. His success as a meditation guide in the Denver metro area has shown, as he states, the growing desire of people to find personal strength and be the change they need in their lives.

In April of this year Michael-Blu established the AirBnB Experience ‘Mile High Meditation.’ In … Read more!

Otero Menswear: Short Men Standing Tall on Fitted, Sustainable Fashion

Interview with Co-Founder Steve Villanueva of Otero Menswear

So, what is so special about Otero Menswear?

Our company is founded on the belief that a well-dressed man is more confident and respected than a man in the same position who always looks out of place in his own clothes. And we also believe that dressing really well should be effortless. Because men with confidence, intelligence, and drive have better things to do than try on every shirt that should be in your size. In fact, we believe this so passionately that we completely reinvented the concept of clothing sizes.

Most men’s apparel brands are designed for an imaginary “average” body type—one that is roughly 5’10” or 5’11”, of middling weight, with a chest measurement that determines the width of the entire garment. All other sizes (XS-XXL) are created off of this template by making the shirt proportionally bigger or smaller. Basically, every man alive is expected to fit into only seven sizes, based on a body scale that doesn’t really exist.

In reality, men have two distinctive body types, that actually serve different functions, and these are defined by differences in the shoulder-waist ratio.
