There are possibly a few of you out there who don't have any other way of keeping tabs... and I've not posted in a couple months, because I'm lazy.
Well, let's see. The $job finally hired me on as a real employee. That's good - it's more money and benefits for doing exactly what I've been doing the last two years.
I am digging living in the U District. It's a pretty much perfect location.
Um... that's probably about all, except for the thing that prompted me to post in the first place.
So when I was in Chicago, I took a Psychology class. It was pretty rudimentary, and being at an arts college there were a lot of interesting "project" type assignments. In that class, the final project was to make an artistic/visual display of a mental disorder. I am working on unpacking the last boxes, and ran into mine.
I made Porn Shoes.
Lurking in a box in my place (and previously in my parents' garage, in some pretty serious storage conditions) there has been a pair of size 11 black stilettos that have been decoupaged with pictures of scantily clad women. I had to keep it PG13 since it was a school project, but the effect was excellent - and did a good job on the assignment, since my chosen mental disorder was "fetishism." Nothin' says misplaced sexual interest like shoes covered in pictures of cleavage.
The effect is really quite pretty; from more than a meter away, they're just kind of peach-ish with a black edging (done here with black masking tape, as the edges desperately needed some sort of finish). You have to look closer to see that it's mostly boobs. If I were to redo them, I'd go for broke and upgrade my source material from Maxim to Hustler.
Said shoes do actually fit me - though with my feet having issues these days and the danger of the glue cracking, I'm unlikely to ever wear them.
