99 Cent Heart Attack

Yesterday was the very first critique in this class and we're supposed to get some good feedback based on peoples honest opinions of our garments but the class is founded on the principles of communism and camaraderie so the "criticism" is slightly honest, always positive and to say the least...not at all helpful. While its very nice to be sprinkled with rolly polly commentary like "That's successful but maybe a ruffle?" the real world doesn't work that way. Out here in the jungle it's dog-eat-dog, every man for himself. No one can benefit from sugar-coated cutsie bits of advice because big fish in little ponds drown in the ocean.

That being said, after the review I took it upon myself to ask the honest opinions from peers whom I knew would give me the real run down and the truth is: the more beads and opulence, the better it translates on a runway. I decided  a short time ago that the microwave was the technological equivalent of the devil that was going to give us all cancer and I've been avoiding it like the plague but that all got relinquished on my trip to costco last night where I stocked up on cheap, quick-cooking goodies (easy mac and spaghettios) like a culinary-challenged man who lives alone. Bring on the late nights.

Side note: I knew the beading was affecting my depth perception when I went into the pantry to get some delicious raisins and promptly slammed the door on my head because I didn't realize I hadn't completely cleared the entry...God save the visually impaired.

  1. Smooth move, but that's what you get for being blind and having a freakishly long face. Bummer for you :(

  2. I'm impressed, I tried to glue sequins to my hospital badge clip and it took me like an hour and looked like crap. I can't imagine beading a whole dress. I actually was thinking about the time you bejewled your phone while I was working on that...your's ended up looking a lot less sticky...

    Keep blogging, screw haters ;)
