In case you wanted to know...

[Kalera]

This is the guy who packs your glass when you order from Bridgetown:

31727

That's Zach, I've known him for 12 years (since he was 14!) and the ladies tell me he's hot.

[Dragynsfyre]

Hmmm... I think I'll just have to order some glass just so he'll touch it! he's a hottie!

[Kalera]

Hehehe I will have to tell him you said so!

[The Mad Beader]

What a cutie patootie!! I'm an old married fart but he IS cute.

[Kevan]

He touched my glass?

Ohhh baby..

[TheSwedishTiger]

Oh, Yum!
Is he single... :wink: Pack him instead of glass in my next shipment!!! ;) Please...O:)

[Abacus Beads]

What would the S&H charges be for that order?
Liz R

[ZachS]

Oh, Yum!
Is he single... :wink: Pack him instead of glass in my next shipment!!! ;) Please...O:)

if you're willing to pay the postage to send 100kg to sweden, i'm game.

[FlameDancer]

OMG...he looks JUST like my first love, WOW!!! Of course, that was a looong time ago. Man, I wish I had a picture of Arron. He even had the same color of hair, worn the same way. I might just have to email this picture to him. We STILL talk, lol.

[collectiblesbyrose]

OMG...now that is the way to increase sales!!!

[RuskinDesigns]

I could switch glasses so he could touch my glass - oh I forgot - I'm married :)

[Dragynsfyre]

Ok, you win. I just placed an order... Been meaning to try bullseye, what can I say... Sex sells! I only spent $50.00 - If you post a pic of him in swim trunks, I might spend a little more! :p

[MaryBeth]

I saw that pic last night! No time to reply because the bathroom got flushed!
Good thing!

Remember he has to stick the glass down his pants to make it magical -- ummm - maybe that was Tink? Whatever:badgrin:

[PaulaD]

Forget the Glass!!
Send him to my house!!
Paula

[encantado]

Hubba Hubba! Boy do I feel old (I will be 40 this year). Can I come and pick up my glass in person!!!

[x_phoenician]

OMG! LOL! He's better looking than Antonio Banderas! Hmm, now I'm picturing him in jeans and leather on a motorcycle, in the desert.... :oops: :grin:

Hmm, maybe I should experiment with more bullseye. 21616

And you say Tink wanted him to stick glass down his pants? You really want something sharp in that area??? :doubt:

Poor Zach, being ogled and treated like a piece of meat. :roll: Shame on us. :wink:

[MaryBeth]

And you say Tink wanted him to stick glass down his pants? You really want something sharp in that area??? :doubt:



No - no - no - Tink was going to stick glass down her pants! I just thought if people were sticking glass down their pants HE should do it:badgrin:

[Jenfire]

He can stick glass down my pants anytime!

[Tink]

ROFL!

I thought the glass that arrived the other day was particularly warm....

[Cherine Perrin]

Now that's a way to boost sales!!!! What a babe!!!

[hotflashwanda]

Woohoo! I just got his autograph on my last glass shipment.
Do hot guys mind being treated like a sex object? I hope not. ;-)

Kalera,

Here I thought you were this super sweet gal up in Portland that I was looking forward to meeting...now I have a better reason for driving the 110 miles up I-5!
O:) Just kidding Honey (my Very Darling Hubby reads all my posts!!)O:) ...:shtf:

Poor Hunk...I mean Zach, I hope he does mind the increase in orders...I think you have a fantastic marketing plan! :lol:

Definitly keep the glass away from any sensitive areas...perhaps you could just start including an autographed picture with each glass order???
I'd hate to have to explain that one! ;)

:love:
Michelle

[RuskinDesigns]

Kalera - how about a new nekid glass torching picture - would he go for it?

[Nonie]

off to caress my Kalera glass...:hide:

[chrissij]

Awww man...when did I get old?

[jamilyn]

hey THAT's not Portland... hmmm

[donnam]

Hmm, I've been thinking about ordering some glass from you, but now I've decided I'd rather have you send me :love: Zach:love: !! Will he fit in a bulk rate box? Heck, I'll drive out there and pick him up!! What a hottie!!

[anne225]

WHO NEEDS A TORCH???:wink:


Anne

[Ms. Booger]

I can see it now - an entire new advertising campaign! Kind of like Abercrombie for glass groupies! Zach holding rods, Zach wearing Kevlar gloves......... Then posters and notecards and tee shirts and then a guest appearance on the Ellen Show!

Think twice though, Kalera. By the time he makes it to the last step? He will go all Hollywood on you and you will have employ another gentleman...........

[collectiblesbyrose]

What Jodie said. Please!

[kandice]

Ooooooooohh......

[Rebekah]

You are bringing him to the Gathering, right? I learned this nifty trick with my ring... Just turn it around. It's supposed to be for when I don't want my hand cut off when someone wants to steal it, but I am betting that I could use the same trick to make it invisible when Hotty McGlassyStein is around.

Dammit Vandy. I told you to stop reading over my shoulder!

I mean, I am engaged now and I will drool to my heart's content. Hopefully the diamond will blind Hotty McGlassyPants and he won't notice when I kidnap him. Yeah.

[HannahRachel]

Wow, has anyone else noticed that in the hubbub over poor Zach's photo, NOBODY seems to have taken note that he actually logged on and SPOKE to us? Geez girls; if he didn't feel like meat beforehand, I'm betting he does now!

Hey, Zach, how's it feel to be the center of this commotion?

[rusticstudio]

He's probably used to it! Cute guy like that!

Hi Zach! Thanks for touching my glass! :p

[Solana]

Where were all these guys before I got married? ;)

[Dragynsfyre]

Well, then I am going to be rich because I have his autograph!!

Talk about embarassing... :shock: :shock: :shock: I put a little note on my glass order to Kalera something to the effect of "sex sells, you shoulda tried a hot guy for marketing a long time ago" and Zach read it and wrote back "Thanks for the compliment!" !!!!!!!! Aaaagh! It was kinda like being in high school when the cute guy you likes intercepts a note to your best friend telling her how cute you think he is! And I'm a happily married woman :-$ .

[meadowesky]

DAAMMNN! I think you should send autographed pics in every order... or you could just ship him to my house! oh wait... think of shane... think of Shane... okay I am better now... :)

[ZachS]

I'm thinking more along the lines of cologne-scented (bay rum, if you're curious) invoices.


Seriously, though, I really appreciate all of the compliments! You folks rock! And those of you with photos - you're all so cute too!

Thanks so much for your business! It keeps me from going hungry, you know.... ;)

xoxo,

Zach

[Rebekah]

Bay Rum? At least you didn't say Olde English. Or New Car Smell.

:flirt:

[Tink]

Zach, you are *such* a tart! ROFL!

[Beyond the Bead]

I already wrote to Kalera, but wanted to say "thanks for my first glass order", and the nice note too. Although my invoice wasn't scented...I checked!

I guess if you're going to be here "checking on all of your fans", it better get cleaned up a little bit! :rolleyes:

So, be honest...how much has business increased since Kalera posted your picture???

:kiss:
Michelle

[ZachS]

It's hard to say.... things are extremely cyclic to begin with. But my best guess is at least a little. :)

[meadowesky]

well I will most certainly be putting in an order very soon! LOL

[ZachS]

Wait until tomorrow afternoon, at least... ;)

[meadowesky]

for certain if I dont break my motherboard again from hitting refresh in the odd lots. :)

[meadowesky]

pretty sick isnt it? LOL so tomarrow huh??

[Rebekah]

Is it creepy that I want to save that picture for my background?

[Frostfire]

Bay rum, eh? Ahhh, a man of excellent taste!!!

(My DH wears bay rum -- needless to say I find the stuff addictive :-D.)

[ZachS]

Everything else just smells like perfume to me.... not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you...

[loribeads]

*hee*hee* Mandrill...I just got it.

Oh and, schaaaaaaawinnnnnnng!

[MBeadDesigns]

:hide: How about a Summer in Sydney Australia, Zach !!??!!

I think i may have to convert to Bullseye !!!:twisted:

Monica !

[Dawn]

The ladies are right, he IS hot, and by the way, MAD BEADER, just because you're on a diet, it doesn't mean you can't look at the menu!!!!

Dawn

[ZachS]

:hide: How about a Summer in Sydney Australia, Zach !!??!!

I think i may have to convert to Bullseye !!!:twisted:

Monica !

Sydney? Sounds nice... ;)

[softbleu]

<sigh> I love dark and handsome guys (I married a mexican indian). and I love bullseye. Guess where I will be shopping this evening!

Hey Kalera, can you get me sheet glass too? I need a particular mix of 6467. Heavy on the white with ample gold pink in it.

[squid]

I received a Murrine order yesterday and have Zach's autograph -

Any offers??

:wink: :lol:

[lunesse]

Zach is fabooooooooo. He was very kind and fun when I visited Kalera. And yes, ladies...he's quite the cutie pie, but even better...he is SO nice. I might have to go over there again soon for another order.... *yum* ;)

[MBeadDesigns]

WHoa... lucky you !

Next time you visit Kalera.... can you please bundle him up into a Global Priority box and send him over to Australia... A hottie and nice.... haven't seen one of those in a very long while ! :doubt:

Mon

[ZachS]

awww, thanks :blush:

[fireplug]

he might as well just do a calendar! how is that for marketing strategy?
this is taking on a life of its own......

[jana]

I'll buy! I'll buy!....or can I photograph it?!?!? I am seeing him laying on a bed of rods in a different color for each month...anyone else?

[SadiesJewels]

Lol ... well I'm passing that way later in August and may have to stop in with my family - lol ... just to take a pic!

Sadie

[SadiesJewels]

Oh now I'm being dishonest - I already have a wonderful guy I order my silver from - his voice just makes me (well you probably don't need to know)! He even slips in little gifts to my ever horrendous silver order - guess it makes the bill more palatable - lol ....

Perhaps I need a glass guy too ... smile

Sadie

[beadygirl]

I don't usually have a whole lot of time to spend on LE and when I do come here, it's a toss up where I will end up and what I'll read. For some reason this is the first post I came to and boy was excited to Zach! This banter has really made my day! I too.......thinking about buying bullseye....want an autograph.....want a Zach..... her'es one place where "Hubba Hubba" might be deemed appropriate!
I TOTALLY agree with Ms. Booger ( :-) ) about the ad campaign with Zach. I can so see it!
Zach, do YOU make beads? Would love to see your beads..er...yeah your beads!
Thanks for making me smile!

[ZachS]

I've played around with the torch once or twice, and ended up with a couple blobs of glass with holes in the middle - but I can't quite say that I've made a bead yet. One of these days...

[macsynchro]

hmmmmm.... I'll be back in my old stomping ground in Oct..(Portland,OR) that is... might just have to go buy something! See if I catch a glimpse :grin:

Oh how I miss Portland! Mio Sushi here I come.. I haven't been able to find decent sushi here.

Plus I will be in Glass and Bead Heaven... maybe I can talk the DH into letting me stay two weeks this time... might get on my Best Friends nerves tho.. hmmmmm must come up with plan!

:poke:Honey Please :poke:Honey Please :poke:Honey Please Do you think that will work?

[Beyond the Bead]

Diana,

Maybe you can coordinate your trip to be here when Tink is at Bullseye glass (there is a whole thread dedicated to it)! There are so many of us glass people here in Oregon, I'm sure we could keep you entertained!

Although I don't think I would let your DH see the pictures of Zach if you are trying to convince him to let you stay longer! :-#

Mmmm, Sushi! Our karate group gets together every other month for a sushi party (we make it ourselves!) Now I'm having a craving!
The September/October get together is going to be a bit different. We are hosting a sushi party and self defense class for a local shelter for young women. I'm gathering (begging/pleading) for people's left over glass bits to fuse into sushi plates that we can give to the girls as gifts (most have nothing more than the clothes they are wearing when they "get out").

My LE friends (people I have never met in person) have been my most generous contributors! Thank you again for any of you that might see this post!!

OK, I'm off topic and rambling...sorry! Keep us posted on your visit!
Michelle

[macsynchro]

I will have to see if Tink's visit coincides with the Master's Nationals Synchronized Swimming Championships.. that is the real reason for my visit... I used to swim with the MAC on an athletic scholorship for the Masters and I want to cheer them on. A double bonus is it's being held in Portland.

What kind of glass bits? My mom does stained glass or are you talking about the ends from our glass rods?

[Beyond the Bead]

Glass rod bits, wonkies, broken (preferably clean) :lol: , leftovers, colors people decided they didnt' want...just as long as it's marked what COE!
:love:
Michelle

[JoDel]

Gotta Give it to you, thats some serious advertizement!! LOL, Monique

[Coffeebean]

Is it creepy that I want to save that picture for my background?

LMAO!!

Well I am curious as to whether Zach makes house calls. You know...just for technical assistance with my glass....and......stuff. :-\"

[Coffeebean]

Ok I can't help but notice that it was MY joke that killed the thread :(

[ZachS]

I'm still here... but there is an extra charge for house calls.. ;)

[Rebekah]

Frantically searching for debit card....

[tanok]

Phwooooooaaarrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ZachS]

Alrighty, here is another pic - I am hiding underneath Kalera's kids:

[fritobsessed]

Awwww - how cute is that?!?!

[Soupy]

Heh-heh, that's one way to bring this thread back up to the top, new photos!

[!ngridh]

I think he needs to Deliver the glass!
SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssssst!!! !!!!!!!!!!
HOT!

[neria]

[Susie]
