I'm so happy to hear that i've inspired you! that's the greatest compliment I can get, really. Isn't hipsterdate hilarious? It was the funnest thing to do, some of the callers we got were really amazing. I dont know what happened to the audio, we used to have it up there but i guess free players have their limits.
Re: Urban renewal, great news, they've been in contact with me and I going to be involved in their next artist/designer customised project, so some of my pieces will be available in select urbn stores sometime in the holidays. yay!! i'm so stoked.
As for FACS, ummmm.. hmm. I'm not so sure I would advise anyone to go that route. I don't think i quite "enjoyed" the theory aspect of it, however, I did learn quite a bit from the multimedia stream. If you do decide on it, try to get into all the classes with Don Sinclair, he is fabulous and you will learn a lot from him, if you enjoy all things multimedia. Nadine Wettlaufer is great too cos she's super thorough. The thing with FACS is that, well, it's not a very popular program, hence all the courses are available to non-majors...which isn't too great. It isn't an elitist thing at all, but when you are in upper year courses there isn't much room for progression when everyone in the class is at different levels; some people being beginners and others who have taken all the prerequisites and expect to learn more, end up in a fourth year that feels like a first year. It just doesn't feel right, especially with all the cash you're putting in towards tuition. whew. sorry about that novel rant. The good thing about FACS though, is that youre open to taking a LOT of electives, which I enjoyed because I got to dabble in different things. The thing is, after I went this route, I didn't exactly feel like I was "good enough" in anything, which i'm pretty disappointed at. If you DO want to take your master's though, FACS is a good route because it allows different options. YSDN, on the other hand, I think is more practical..but it is an extremely demanding course. My friends are constant complainers about how much work is put upon them, but then again, the programme churns out amazing designers. Haha, im going on and on, aren't I? But I really do think it's important for you to make the right decision about it, cos it really is a commitment, whatever programme you choose.
And for the question you're probably dying to hear the answer to.. the sandals. Haha, they're fabulous arent they? They are super comfy too, and they come in silver as well. So, since I am sure that you will divulge to me in the future any fashion finds of yours that i can't get out of my head, i'll tell you where i got 'em. :) They were from a store in Chinatown, on Spadina, north of Queen. I forget what it is called, but they're there!
Anyway, sorry for the novel. I'm adding you back. Im a whore for mka too.
