6/12/2006: Plenty of Updates
Ever since the TV appearances, my
life has gone completely crazy! Sure, I try to keep to my normal routine,
but it's hard to do so when I keep getting phone calls from radio stations,
magazines, and clothing companies! It's been so hard to keep the website
up to date with everything that's going on, but I love every second of it!
Lately I've been working behind the scenes to get my
site working even more smoothly and have been revealing some of the new
features here and there, like the avatars on the comments pages. I do
have more features to reveal, but that will take some time to implement.
At the end of this week I will have some very
interesting exposure in the media, so stay tuned for that!
5/24/2006: Contest Winners Posted!

3/2/2006: More media attention!
Wow. All I can say is wow. For those who are
looking for my videos:
2/22/2006: Craziest Days of My Life!
I can not believe what has been happening lately - traffic
on my website has increased over ten times what it was before!
I was linked on fark.com - and my username is
zmrgroovy. So take heed, impersonators!
I would write more news here but a LOT is happening
right now and I honestly don't even have the time to type it all out... and LOT
of it is BIG!! Just stay tuned for more!
1/24/2006: As seen on CNN
Headline News... Twice!
Much
to my surprise, my site was featured again on CNN Headline News, on
the segment Online Buzz on Friday, January 20. This is a
follow-up from my mention last Friday on Web Watch. Both
segments were reported by AOL Consumer Advisor
Regina Lewis. I have both segments available to watch:
(requires RealPlayer, available for download free
here for Windows, Mac and Linux versions available at
www.real.com).
Last week I also spoke with another correspondent with
CNN who might also be doing a story on the whole project so far. Needless
to say this is very exciting!
1/18/2006: Bigger than ever!
With so much media coverage lately, site traffic has gone
through the roof! Now more people are picking out what I should wear than
ever before! I was recently mentioned on CNN Headline News, as well as a
few news stations out in California! Who knows what could be next...
In other news, mydrobe.com
has been off to a great start, and already several people have posted their
outfits for you to view and post comments on. Some people have also
posted votes about what they should wear to future events, too!
12/29/2005: Join me on January 1, 2006 to launch mydrobe.com!
I received so many messages from people saying that either
they loved dresskevin.com or that they wanted a site just like it of their own,
that I decided to make a website that lets the fashion conscious (or
unconscious) post their wardrobes on the Internet just like I do! As a
special thanks to members of my website, only dresskevin.com registered members
will be able to log on to the site for at least two weeks before registration
is opened up to the public at large. See you then!

11/22/2005: The 10 Days of New Clothes
Every day, for the next 10 days, I will be adding a new
piece of clothes to the site! Also, for those of you looking forward to
the new section of the site, I've been working on it every spare moment I
get! It's very challenging to do at my level, so be patient...
Oh, and that silly icon of the guy on the homepage with
the filing cabinet will soon be replaced with a weather icon. Thanks for
everyone suggesting I include the weather!
11/15/2005: A few new things...
My two fashion "consultants", Shawna and Lauren, will be
occasionally posting some tips on my website to offer some guidance for both
you and me to dress for various occasions. Also, I'll be posting some
comments beforehand, like on the weather, etc., to give you a better idea of
what you're dressing me for as well. I hope that's helpful to the many
who asked for more information about what I'm doing.
Also, I'm happy to announce that very shortly I will be
introducing a new section of the site that will allow you to take part of the
action and have people vote on what YOU should wear! This is for the many
people who told me, "I wish I could have a site like this too!" Well,
very soon from now, you will!
Lastly, for those of you in the Houston Area, tune into
channel ABC13 on Thursday, November 17 at 6:45AM CST, where I will be
doing a telephone interview about the site!
11/8/2005: Get ready...
I will be sending an email out to my VIP members tonight
introducing them to a beta-test of the latest and greatest part of
dresskevin.com. So, for those of you who might be wondering why there
have been few new clothes and things added lately, it's because of all the work
I've been doing on the new site! Depending on how well the beta testing
goes, it might be another 7-10 days before I release it to the public.
But in the mean time, keep voting and posting comments, I read every last one
of them!
11/4/2005: DressKevin.com-mania!
My website has been featured on a few radio shows lately,
and I welcome all my new visitors! Thanks for your help! Be sure to
register, because within a few days, I will be introducing a new part of the
site I'm sure you'll love! I've been working hard on it, giving up some
valuable "dating time" for this site, so get ready, I'm putting a lot of stock
into it!
10/31/2005: Happy Halloween, I'm back!
Well, after having some major coding problems, as well as
some major time problems, I'm back and in full effect. Also, I'm still
working on a very good new feature of the site that I think you will really
enjoy! I'll post some teaser screenshots here in a few days so you can
see what I mean. Worst timing for a little hiatus, too. Apparrently
I was featured on picks.yahoo.com, which brought over 40,000 visitors to the
site in one day, the exact day I began the hiatus on the site. Well, I
guess nobody is perfect. In other news, a lot of my time was spent
planning and preparing for a huge Halloween bash at my apartment. We had
over 50 people in our place, which was absolutely awesome, since they were all
in costume. You can see some of my pictures
here at my Yahoo! Photos page.
I hope this news section is helpful for those of you that are
following the progress of the site, especially those who have been following it
since the beginning. Thanks for all of your support, see you all again
soon!
