please allow for some fashion-squee.
monday was pretty spectacular. i got to participate in my first-ever fashion photo-shoot. i got dressed and painted for Gloomth and tried not to be too awkward in front of the camera. so. much. fun.

thursday, the pinkmoose and i plodded our way up to the room to interact with wearable art. we fawned over and fondled all the fancy couture pieces without blanching too badly at the price tags. (just like walking through a gallery - it might be gorgeous but it doesn't have to come home and live above the couch) i poked at ugly blue suede platform stiletto louboutins, trying to figure out why they're such a big deal. comme des garcons are often hit-or-miss with me (but the hit's a zombie-obliterating headshot). then i found it.


christopher kane's 2011 resort line.
cocktail/tea-length/red carpet frocks. heavy, almost canvas-weight silk satin. visible steel zipper detailing. super hi-res prints from the hubble telescope.

(and yes, i think the marabou-trimmed heels are ridiculous)

saturday had a big smear across the afternoon. a customer came into the shop, pleasantly chatty until lines were crossed. two invitations to a coffee date were politely declined with a solid "no, thank you." exasperated by the third request, i snapped that i would certainly attend if my boyfriend could come along too. a torrent of filth poured forth in a disturbingly pleasant conversational tone. it began by calling me a "nasty, incestuous lesbian" and got worse from there. i was in shock, too furious to even see straight.(ETA - this is in a TOY STORE, by the way.)

sunday? tradeshow. long, hectic, entertaining day. i did, however, get to play with soy-beeswax crayons and test out some water-based nail polish. the verdict? clementine art is beautiful stuff, but i'm having trouble discerning how much is responsible production and what might be blatant greenwashing. piggy paint polish totally gets my vote, too. the colours are great, the finish is good and i used a demo to paint several ladies' nails with no fumes to make me dizzy.
