But glad to not have to handstitch another garment with tiny pieces again if I don't

(think TRASH TO TRES CHIC)

Photoshop

Turned my house upside down looking for my old Electric Guitar;

Inspiration... and what not!

These are some of my sketches;
But not my Final Submission -

Half Tuxedo; Half Dress...

"You cut up a thing that's alive and beautiful to find out how it's alive and why it's beautiful, and before you know it, it's neither of those things, and you're standing there with blood on your face and tears in your sight and only the terrible ache of guilt to show for it." - Clive Barker.

So heres what I've been working on...

Racewear Parade:  October 30th 2010

Michael Jack Benson

While this is neither an escapade, nor fashionable, this is something that is important to me.
Earlier this week we lost a family friend in a car accident.
He was only 13.
And while, unlike my boyfriend, I didn't grow up with him;
I still feel like this is one of the most massive losses I've ever felt.

Needs. Wants. Loves. Octopii;

Great Finds @ The Markets;

Catching up with old friends.
Always fun... searching for treasures;
Gorging on the amazing eats the Markets has to offer!
Also. Beverages.









Just remember to tell the people around you that you love them too.

Out of Town, Population Me.
