"What school did you graduate from?", a guy whom I met very recently asked. "FIDM in LA. I did fashion design", I replied "I knew it! I knew you graduated from Parsons, FIT or some sort of fashion school." he exclaimed!
Oh god.. I wonder what gave it away. lol. But still, I get butterflies thinking about it. This guy's an accounting person. If even he could tell, most ppl probably can.
if only ppl at Marc Jacobs know exactly how fashionably cooler I am than most fashion graduates.
Best Halloweenie ever!!!!! last year for halloween I went to vegas and didn't start partying until all the parties ended (4 AM) But this year, jen jen came to visit me and we started drinking at 8 PM.. hahahahah! ultimate party! But needless to say, the party ended at 2 AM for us cuz we can't hang for shit.
I'm not gonna tell you what I dressed up as for Halloween until the end of this entry so you're gonna have to guess. I've never seen anyone dressed up as my costume before. One day a light bulb went off in my head and I decided to wear that for halloween. It's a either you get it right away or you don't kind of costume..... so hope you get it!
what am i? what am i?
My friend Jenny is a nun. She's praying really hard for world peace.
Us on the subwayyyyyyy
They are my favorite costumes for the night! They're HB pencils!! Love it!
Dick in a box!!
Banana guy
I think the photographer guy let his ego got into the way. He wasn't too thrilled after I took his picture.
My friend Jeffrey. He's crazzzyyy
My friend Vince. He's crazy as well, but not as crazy as Jeffrey.
The wax drumstick Jeffrey left at his apt. doorstep. Hilarious.
Anyways, did you figure out what my costume was yet?? I'm a CANDLE!! Next year I think I wanna dress up as the gnome from travelocity.com. My alter ego is to be a gnome; great to be around in a garden but really useless. Anyway, before I get too excited about my costume for next year lemme tell you about my candle costume. I actually made my own costume. I had a sexy and cute but not slutty idea in mind. I draped in on my dress form first and added seam allowance for each piece.
With the same patterns I got from draping, I made one using muslin fabric for fitting.
And the final piece is made in broadcloth.
Broadcloth in my opinion is and isn't a good fabric for the costume. It is great because it's cheap, light weight therefore breathable as oppose of polyester which most costumes are made out of, and it's also durable. It isn't a good fabric because it wrinkles SOOOOOOOOOOOO easily. It doesn't wrinkle as bad as linen, but it's getting there. Since the dress is really tight I'm afraid to sit because if I sit, fabric will bunch up around my stomach area and cause it to wrinkle and it won't go away when I stand up.
That was Halloween! Hope everyone had a great Halloween as well!
There are all these speculations about miley cyrus and how she's dressed. Most say that she's dressed too revealing for being 16 but I think she deserve way more credit than she's getting.
I don't watch her shows nor do I listen to her music but there are couple of facts I know about her: she is very popular, makes tons of money and she isn't your average 16 yr old. So it comes down to if she isn't your average 16 yr old, why should she dress like one? She's in the media business where sex sells so if she's dressed in tee shirts and jeans all the time, who's gonna pay attention to her? More importantly, how is she gonna get any publicity by dressing accordingly? She's probably experience in life than many 20-somethings, she may even be more mentally mature than many 20-somethings. She's got many people's career, family, and life in her two hands if she doesn't do her job, many people are losing theirs as well. I say she's Miley Cyrus, she works hard, makes her own money, she can wear whatever she wants.
************************** sketching ideas!!
haha.. can you tell what i'm draping? It's gonna be a cropped jacket! (worn on the center model in sketch)
I can't remember the last time I blogged. But to update my life to those who cares: I'm sick. I'm coughing a bit, sniffling a bit. That's about it and hope that's all there is.
But I'll tell you something that's exciting! I finally went to the meat packing district! Little Miss party lover hasn't stepped a foot into a real club until now and I went 2 weeks in a row. What now bitches?? Oh, and I finally got to go to Marquee. I read about Marquee a while ago in Nylon magazine and wanted to go. I honestly can't tell you what other clubs I went to because I can't even remember but I can tell you that I've found my favoritest drink @ The Standard. It's called Le Bicyclette Rouge aka The Red bicycle. It's a mix of edelflower, rose and soda. I'm such a wuss when it comes to alcohol. Before I used to be able to do shots, now I avoid it at all cost and stick with the girly flowery drinks.
Anyway, that same weekend I got to go to Blue Note the jazz club and had brunch at Balthazar in Soho. Honestly, Balthazar is something else. Their line is long as hell but that's why you go during non busy hours. Their french onion soup consist of 50% cheese and their steak tartar is unimaginable. Their service is fantastic as well. OHHHH I'm so in love with Balthazarrrr. It's weird because the first time I walked into that restaurant was for their restroom since there were none public ones around that area, I have to bust out some ghetto shit so I can go pee. After walking into the restaurant and seeing their beautiful bathroom, I knew I had to go eat their food. Sounds superficial but I'm superficial so whatevs.
whatelse whatelse whatelse?? I went to village vanguard and heard BILL CHARLAP TRIO!!!!!! Bill Charlap Trio consist of Peter Washington on Bass and Lewis Nash on drums and Bill Charlap is my favorite pianist in the world. if you don't know who bill charlap is, well, he's a famous jazz pianist, maybe the world's best jazz pianist. I fell in love with his music hmm.. around 2006 listening to "blue skies" on a local jazz radio station. The man is talented and creative with his music! I'm seeing him again next sunday and perhaps next year again at the Lincoln Jazz Center.

The most exexexexexxxxxxxciting thing is here
I got my full body dress form!! I got it for $450 @ Mood. Okay price I think considering there are some that's $600. But I think the most exciting thing was that i bought it all by mahhhhhhseeelf while paying for my rent and living expenses n shit.
Here's the 7337 train!
Now when I see college kids and the way they act I think, "wow, these kids are so stupid. I can't believe I was once like that." wahhhh I'm so ollllldddddddd!!!!!!!!
True
