Martha Montoya
Creator and Director

"She is blazing new pathways - a new frontier for the Hispanic business community."
The Wall Street Journal

Founder of LBS Services, cartoonist and creator of the award winning comic strip, Los
Kitos™, Martha Montoya is the Chair of the largest Latino Business Owner Expo in the
country. Born in Bogota, Columbia, Montoya achieved success holding key international
management positions with agricultural firms importing from Latin America and
becoming a recognized speaker on international source issues. She is currently the Chair
of the Latin Business Association.

With persistence of divine proportions, Montoya pursued her dream of becoming a
successful cartoonist. She created the cartoon strip, Los Kitos™, ("little dolls") to serve as a
vehicle for helping immigrants assimilate into a new society. Today Los Kitos™ is featured in
over 305 newspapers in 17 countries worldwide and has won scores of awards. A radio
show and live stage show presents bilingual entertainment throughout the U.S. Montoya
has finalized negotiations for a 26-episode animated television series based on her
characters. In addition, U.S. corporations and institutions, including Bank America Corp.
and the U.S. Postal Service, use the Los Kitos™ figures to serve as a gateway between
themselves and the Hispanic market. Companies use the characters to inform their Spanish-
speaking customers about services ranging from using an automated teller machine, to addressing
an envelope. Stores nationwide sell merchandise featuring the comic strip characters - items
ranging from shoes, T-shirts and watches, to cups of ready-to-eat gelatin.

Martha Montoya's lecture programs are insightful, educational and inspirational, like the woman
herself.

		Gordon Millings Beatles Tailor In 1963, on a visit to master tailor Dougie Millings, John Lennon asked for something different and the distinctive Beatles look was born. Already a favorite of such early British rock stars as Tommy Steele, Tom Jones, Cliff and the Shadows and Hollywood legends Steve McQueen, James Dean and Sammy Davis Jr., Dougie Millings - from his studio/workroom at 63 Compton Street, in Soho, London - was actively changing the face of both mens clothing and rock n roll as we know it. The original Beatles jackets, with round necks, were made in 4 colors and had braided edges. The price per suit was approximately $90. Dougie's son, Gordon, first trained as a tailor at Huntsman & Sons, and then joined his father's company. They were privy to some of the key developments in the careers of many of these stars. And in their store in Great Pulteney Street, they installed a grand piano on the top floor of the store and an upright in the basement, where acts used to rehearse. Fans soon flocked to the store to see the Beatles. "On one occasion, Paul was there," tells Gordon, "and we had to call the police from Soho nick to come down and clear the way because there were so many kids we couldn't even open the door." Dougie Millings and Son created some 500 outfits for the Beatles, in addition to fashions for Paul McCartney's band "Wings", Mick Jagger, and countless other stars, doctors and diplomats. Gordon Millings continues the family tailoring business today; creating Custom made Suits and Costumes and carrying Ready-to-wear Stock and Limited Edition Collectables. With intriguing anecdotes, original photos and artistic genius, Gordon Millings presents Lecture programs and Workshops, marvelously celebrating pop history and innovation in fashion design. **Biographical Information from The Look, Adventures In Pop & Rock Fashion, by Paul Gorman (Sanctuary Publishing, Ltd., 2006)
