These two men have given me a gift of a beautiful life experience that I will never be able to repay them for. They have morphed from being benevolent leaders to members of my family and friends for life. When I interviewed for a job with Blue Bee almost 7 years ago John said something that really had sayed true through out my tenure " My employees are like my kids, they grow up here and go on to do great things, I am so proud of them like a parent" This has been my experence still......
I am not sure I will be able to articulate how grateful I am to Marty and John. How much they have done for me, my son and my family. They have stepped in during hard times of my life and lifted me up and kept my head held high! They cultivated what I was rad at and supported and pushed me to be the best I can be. They never tried to make me someting I was not but truely pushed me to be the best me....they understood and love who I am as a person... such a personal gift.
They have lead by example and I hope that someday I will be as rad as they are. These guys have such a deep understanding of true love amidst fellows. I am grateful to have seen this quality in them :)
The whole Blue Bee Team has made such an impact on my life too, made me who I am today. Each and every comrade has added more raddness to my life. My 6 1/2 years at Blue Bee was the most beautiful time in my life. The doors to the most influential, fashionable, local phenomenon may have physically shut for Blue Bee, but know that Marty and John's vision Blue Bee Inc has single handily changed the WORLD of rad reps, Cooley-dressed chicks and dudes, fashion mavens and designers. The world will never be the same because of you guys.... I can't wait to see what your drive and passion will cultivate next.
Here is to the next line, the local Brick and Mortar, fashion's next obsession and what ever else is RAD. The world is our oyster..... keep your eyes open!
MAY I ALWAYS MAKE YOU PROUD!!!!

Oh, Cristi, this made me cry. I wish you, John and Marty all the love and success in the world. And, I hope to see your photographs in the pages of many fashion magazines very soon. You are an incredible talent and a totally swell chick. xoxox
I am so sorry Blue Bee has ended - what you were all doing up there was the future of online and brick and mortar retail. Wishing you all the best!!!
Twas my life too.....for over a decade.....still sifting through the rubble of our world to redefine who I am to be now....it was a magical ride, one which I am so grateful that we were on together my sister...
