DIRTY LAUNDRY #6
so i brought my "successful internship" book with me in hopes that i would finish what i had started in chapters. for some reason i could never quite make it to the end of a set of readings... but i did find it enjoyable, for a text book... anyways.. the point being, i haven't opened it once. eeshk! but i've never felt need to refer to it. i have, however, been reading a tonne of magazines!!! which i think is just as much homework in itself.
(sidenote: i think my kiwi roommate and her southern-drawl-north-carolina-boyfriend are feeding like butterflies upstairs! except in that "we are both over 200 pounds" kinda way. she's tall and big and gorgeous. he's just tall and big)
but yeah.. my big reads have been gapPRESS and sportswear international. both surprisingly (yet not), on point to where i think fashion is headed. i hate reading magazines and they try to tell you "peasant tops" or something is gonna be the new hit. and yeah. hit's are good as long as they are on target to keep cycling or at least be one of those trends that lasts for a few years before going out of style. and even when said trends are on the outs, they aren't a shameful thing to sport, as long as you gots the balls (confidence) to pull it off. attitude. it's all about wearing your insides out.
i'd list what i think is in and out but i'm afraid i would offend anyone reading this. i know that it really comes down to personal preference. BUT for someone who is so intruigued by the way clothing has evolved over the centuries; someone who pays attention to classics and can appreciate them (distanced or adorned) in their true history, meaning; and feel that sense of acceptance from others who can argue fashion similarly (which don't come by very often...) in verbal contexts or eye contact, i can't help but judge. PLUS, it's only human. you can't look around without thinking. it's just a matter of when you should share what you are thinking and knowing when to hold it in. this is one of those times.
so i've still been doing lotsa production stuff and setting up orders to be shipped. doing the last quality check, make sure fabrics aren't damaged, de-lint, tag, count. even tagging is done by hand with a needle and cross-stitch thread (what's that stuff called?)
erika sent a package to louise with some samples and told her we should just keep "bugging" her. she's a busy lady, even her voicemail is full all the time! therefore.. still no independent project. i'm getting scared.
i'm not sure if we were supposed to work this week or not since it's technically reading week. but i'll work anyways. cos i'm gonna need the hours if i'm coming back to edmonton for the formal and that damn red light ticket for april 1st. if i don't get my hours done when i thought, i can always take a few days off from lulu. it'll all work out. i'll be fiiine. i hope.
i wish i could answer those questions that kathryn had. but i already closed my email and i'm about to fall off this chair into my bed. i went to see The Boogeyman (oh my god, it SUCKS!) and i just got home... and there was a couple (a thuggity couple) having sex in the back corner. like 100% givin' it, GO-ING-AT-IT! loud and even moany sometimes. more entertaining than the movie, i couldn't help but peep my head back every now and then, like a gopher. it was like a car accident! the theatre was huge, like the paramount on jasper, including the balcony, except this theatre had no balcony. HUGE!
oh and since it was a special day i'll tell about valentines day. i had no valentine (as per usual) but i went glow-in-the-dark bowling with the east van ladies and then we crashed The Peoples Prom (i wish i knew, cos i would've dressed up. cummerbund and everything!) which was like a high school dance, anti-valentines-valentines shit show! SO MUCH FUN!
k i've stopped talking about the internship. and these are my big stories for the week. so i hope everyone is productive, can't wait till next week!
