Distrito Paparacchi.

I can't really say I've done much else today, other than avoid homework and watch anime yet again. I am so happy I came along with you guys today. I knew Sam's friends where coming but I had no idea today, so she texts me around 2 that she could pick up some clothes. Thanks for being so encouraging Samantha, sometimes I feel unsure and intimidated but you also help me present my best "now". Photographer is Toni Smailagic and just came back to the States from Paris and makeup is my new Kdrama bffl Catherine Molina. WE ARE GOING TO KOREA TOWNNNNNNNNNN in ATL :)))))))))))
You have no idea how obsessed I am.

Hopefully I do homework tomorrow. - I mean today.

I'll show you the pictures he took sometime!

take care! xx

I wish I could find some examples to show you. All I could find on facebook was this picture she did a few years ago:

you wouldn't even believe what she can do now. She is so sweet. She takes THE hardest classes. and is good at ALL of them and I know she doesn't think so, so I honestly encourage her because I am awed by her talent. She is such a sweet friend. She is taking Apparel 2, Fashion Sketching, and Handbags one. Next quarter she is thinking of taking Handbags2, Advanced Sketching, and App 3. CRAZY!!!!!!!! lol I haven't gotten anything higher than a C in fashion Sketching. ..So I went to see Lara yesterday. Confession: I really like Prof Wolf. I think she's pretty awesome. That music taste... man. I'm glad she grades me so hard... if I think I'm ok at something, nope it could be better! I deserve to be drilled. I shoot for B's in my classes now... I have a B in 3D. I have no idea how kids get all A's here. Like Sarah. sigh. Maybe I should say outloud I'm shooting for all A's, but I've said that a few times and got shocked when my grades got back to me. hmm. Sorry I talk about grades all the time. I'm seriously considering taking a harder quarter next term. I was originally thinking Apparel, History of Fashion, and something else. but now I kind of want a Apparel / Advanced sketching combo. But I don't know. I didn't take a combo this time because i wanted to focus on sketching, considering it isn't my strong suit..... I hope everything works out. I'm not sure if I am lazy or what. I don't seem to be getting proper results. I havent' heard back from Neil, nor have I seen Carmela.. School's a tough place. Imagine the real world... I can't believe it's raining, and cold. Oh PS I totally tried a new mask yesterday: a tumeric mask. let me tell you, 5 freaking stars. leave it on for 30 minutes. Wash off, tada. Results already. Of course it will take sometime for me. I think I should upload some more masks lol. They're so fun!

I submitted a sketch to Brides.com for "Operation Dream Dress". I pray they like it. I am afraid the scan quality did not end up superb. Pray for me! Hopefully I get a positive message back. If I do I get to make the dress and compete against a few other designers. We will see won't we. I hope to get married someday. Actually, I probably have that thought way to many times in a day. Pathetic I know. Hm I'll confess I have about, emm maybe 3 crushes right now, and I am trying to erase them all. I have too much school work. And I am NOT that exciting. I get called a girl A LOT of times during the day and usually I just let it slide. But today for whatever reason when the guy at fedex told the woman he would help her after he helped "HER first" and then tried to play it off with "he, sorry" AS IF THAT WORKS, it just made it awkward for the both of us even if I assured him it was ok. I don't understand. I always wear MALE CLOTHING. I am not in drag, I was wearing a dress shirt and a dress tie and slacks. I was pretty male looking? But I get called "miss" everywhere. I am all for going androdge but it was a little depressing today. I don't know. Gosh, the person I like the most probably has no idea because I am such a jerk slash naturally act like they're invisible. Which I am only doing of course because I am nervous and awk to the bone. I think i've kind of designed this world where I am used to being on my own. I'm most likely to self-fish by now to be able to share anything with anyone. But ya whatev. There won't be any acting. I have to get better at sketching. I HATE 3D BY THE WAY. It's not hard but I THINK ITS SUCH A WASTE OF TIME OMGOSH. UGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG. lol. I haven't even started either of the projects we are doing. yes, we are doing 2 at the same time. 3D makes me hate art. Not to be rude just ignorant, I don't understand where doing ceramics will take you as an artist and not a designer for target. Do you plan on working on commissions for the rest of your life and then working at scad part time?? but DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY lol. I don't understand. Passions. geez. I just want to live in Korea so bad. Good music, fantastic television, movies, food, fashion, toilets, everything. Let's find a way to be happy for now, with right now. right now. right now. I pray for wisdom and patience. Help me be patient.

As always I am a little overwhelmed whenever I am writing... there is always so much to do and so few hours.. I wish I could transfer everything I want to say and put it in your brain without typing. I want to go to sleep so bad!!! :( What to do, what to do? jsakldfjaksldfjasdjflkasdfjklajsfdk vjasldr jawijflkasj dfklajsdflkj af<3

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart"

So I may not be doing as well in school as I thought..

Yes, that is correct, that 6 was turned into a 7. 70 percent. I swear I am not slacking off. I know I'm not very good at drawing....hm. I have to start my 3d project tonight, ...50% is due in the morning. What is wrong with me.. I just might suggest all nighter number one begin tonight.

...I'm in CMPA right now, but I couldn't resist posting some pre fall collections because I miss posting catwalks so much. All fotos are courtesy of wgsn/style.com! Zero credit for me. Here are some samples I thought were nice/ interesting/ appealing/ or just for education. you know. (now i am posting this days after.... I couldn't organize them before class ended)

ERDEM
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Erdem always. I think that "galaxy" prints are really showing up a lot amongst designers' children. -like Christopher Kane. I mean I am all about Sailormoon and space so I ob love. ;) Anyway, what do I like about them? Elegance. So so beautiful. So so divine. The see through. all of eet.

HELMUT LANG

I must admit that this is a new find for me. But I guess better late than never? I think it's very beautiful (I think everything is very beautiful) but the combo of the sheen and the mountain misty waterfall look and kind of editing of the picture really goes well together. Hmm. Lub.

You guys..I'm having A LOT of trouble moving these pictures around. ...Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

JASON WU

I'll honestly admit that I'm a little obsesed. I like Jason Wu because his clothes are so playful and elegant and barbie esque. He actually makes cute bum doll clothes! And Mieko said he is really nice. Isn't that great?! You're awesome. But seriously, I'm like really into this collection. The stances, styling, background. ugh. <3

GIAMBATTISTA VALLI
And the latest addition to my obsessions list. I literally used these poses to add into my notebook. Fash sketching is going okay. I'm trying to get better. I want to get better really bad. I don't want to think I'm not very good at drawing anywhere in my mind and just draw and draw well from now on. I want to think I can draw. Anyway, it's lively it's beautiful and it catches my heart.

ok, i give up on the runways again.

....I don't know why "fashion" makes me so tired unlike anything else. I feel like I have to work so hard because I just don't feel like I'm at a level not good enough. This is on my mind because, I was pretty excited, but now I'm not so sure I want to enter the contest. I'm not a junior yet, until next quarter and Carmella gave me permission. But I don't know. A silly thing like not being able to use the markers correctly really discourages me. I think I'm a little envious of the other students that seem to have so much confidence in what they are doing. That they can come in, not know how to sew, but truly seem to believe that they can be a designer or stylist. While I- am always so unsure. ..I'm glad I'm challenging myself by taking sketching. But I feel like it needs to be at a level where it isn't. And while I have made some significant progress, it's not yet enough to take me across the river. It has to be amazing. And awing. And worth calling out. And over all I just need to work harder. -And not go to sleep.

1. Don't settle. I've been really good at going for the cheaper price and being a smart buyer, but sometimes being a smart buyer means putting out a little bit more money so you get something that actually works. -Like glue.

2. Do not, no matter how tempting, or convenient, shop at Ex Libris. Not only are you paying too much, their return policy is absolutely illegal. What store does not take unused things back and question you like you were trying to trick them. Girl. I don't want it. It's too expensive. It doesn't look cute.The customer is always right. Ex-ed out.

3. My roommates are so darn cute.
