We made samples to put in our folders today for future reference of different stitches and hems, it was exciting getting back onto an industrial over locker they are so smooth to work with, we are making our skirt next week and i get to use this amazing hawaiian vintage linen fabric i bought.
Its nice ive made some friends in the class, and its all feeling a bit like school, just without the bitchiness because all the girls are there to learn and have fun.. what a pleasant change!
We got our art packs today, with awesome water colours in them and art books and fancy pencils, and some sort of japanese paints, all for fashion illustration.

I am now a proud owner of a mac, and i must say..it fustrated the hell out of me at first, but now im getting the hang on it, i keep going to right and left click on my mouse and nothing happens..i need to train my brain to use mac’s favourite thing to do ‘shortcuts’

The other week, we wen’t up in my brothers 64 impala to the Nostalgia drags at willowbank. we went around 4pm so it was still hot but that soon died off and we were watching the drags as the sun wen’t down , and go some good photos of the sunset.

Now with the mac, i can record vid
eos of my doing covers of songs with my guitar and maybe put them up on you tube, just as a bit of fun. get some feedback hopefully positive haha and remind myself how to use garage band. my biggest new years resolution is to write some songs and get them recorded.
I have already achieved and done some of my new years things on my list.. proud
fashion course, burlesque dancing class, starting on art, using proper 1950’s materials to make my jewellery and changing my designs to be totally original.

My stall for Garter Belts and Gasoline is going to be amazing, i have never been proud of the appearance of my trade stalls they look messy and a bit cheap ha! but that didn’t stop people buying stuff. Its going to cost a bit to get it how i want it, but it will be a permanent looking shop that i can pack up and take with me to every show so it fits neatly into my marquee.
I have a really good sign i take to shows so my stall needs to match, i have to sew up stall table covers on my industrial machine. I always leave things to the last minute, but thats how things turn out good with me!

The tcb lucky 7 party was on the day after Nostalgia drags it was a boilingggg hot day, but a huge array of awesome cars came out to show there support for matt blacks mag, it’s a really awesome all australian kustom kulture magazine and he takes all the photos of the pin ups featured in it. We gave sheri a lift to the show gosh i adore that girl we can giggle at the most random stuff and we have our inside jokes and we only have to look at each other to know what on earth i am smirking about we spent the day catching up with the gang and met a few new people to., bought an awesome tiki sticker from black fridays..which gave me the idea of turning the fairmont into a beach style cruiser with and awesome colour of sunset on the roof, its going to look hot! arrr i can’t wait! eeeeee!!! my dad is getting into the painting of it, he really enjoys customising cars, especially with all the cool colours he can make up at his paint shop.

On march 21st i have to vote and honestly, i don’t know who to vote for..they all suck in my opinion, this is my first time of voting and it just happens to be on the same day as the tattoo show i have to sell at, i don’t know how im going to find a place to go vote at before the show starting at 9am.

fun fun and crazy updates since my old computer cracked, damn you harvey norman
