NO FOR REAL!! What is the V word?

 So many people have come to me with questions about VINTROx, and what we stand for, what our goals are, and really just trying to figure out exactly who we are and what we do since they have started reading the blog, so I thought I would give the audience a little history on us really quick.
 Upon entering the cafeteria at Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) on November 17, 2009 I was stopped in my tracks by 5 beautiful people: Demarcus (who sews like he has been sewing for centuries, and he has only just begun with a passion most only dream about having), Josh (JStar, who has a beautiful spirit and is known for his one of kind original ideas, style, and love for GaGa), Roni (who has a determination for VINTROx that is unlike any other, she constantly refers to it as her "baby" and style that can only be described as inspiring) , Melina (who has a sick shoe obsession, and represents VINTROx everywhere and in everything she does to the best of her abilities), and Andrea (who has stayed motivated through this long grueling process even when some where starting to run out of steam).... And as I looked at these beautiful, well-dressed creatures I could see they all had their own personal styles (which were amazing), yet some how they all kind of went together (which was even more amazing!), So I walked towards them in hopes of getting on this stylish "train". You see I knew them all separately, I had seen them around MTSU campus looking extremely HOTT but today was different there was so much fashion and positive energy all at once, I knew they could sense it too! So I pulled up a chair and immediately JStar and Roni began to talk about fashion and how we all dressed, see every single one of us has a vintage or retro inspired wardrobe, some of us pull clothes that are more 70's inspired, some 80's, some even 40's... But it all fit! Immediately all of our gears started rotating as we began to devise a plan in which we could take over the world, but first we would have to create a name, we were vintage we were retro then JStar tensed up and yelped "We are VINTRO", and that is how we began.




Since then we have added a couple people to the team that are making big strides in bringing us closer to our dream: Dominique who is a transfer football player from LSU and huge peoples person and Dana who is a wiz on the sewing machine and also a big people person (others just seem to flock to their warm spirits). From there we have begun styling people (such as Lauren J) and planning many events including art shows, fashion shows,  and open mic nights (all of which are coming soon). Our main objective is to promote creativity through art, fashion, and music and eventually we would like to have a clothing line, style people, maybe own a gallery here and there and even host open mic nights (yes I know we are dreaming big, but without big dreams and aspirations, what is the point of going on in life??... that is called going through the motions.. uhh no thanks!). We also hope to have fund raisers in the future in which we can donate money and art supplies to school systems that are starting to drop their art and music programs due to budget cuts. We are a long way from our dreams but we will get there as long as we believe and continue to work, hopefully you believe in us as well, because VINTROx believes in you!!! We love you and appreciate you for hanging around during our come up!!
forever yours,
