YES YES YES YES YES!

THANK GOD I AM FINALLY A STUDENT AGAIN!

I am now a student of TAFE at Mt Gravatt. I will be studying the Certificate IV in Applied Fashion Design and Technology. My first class is in 3 or so weeks time on a Wednesday night. It will be all sewing based this semester and hopefully design and textile based next semester.

Once again,

Why did I decide to look at the pictures of Yves Saint Laurent's funeral this morning? Now I am stupidly depressed and just want to curl up in a ball, wimper and sleep. I was kind of in denial until now.

I just can't believe this great man... that he's now gone... shit...

I know his fashions will live on but...

I'm going back to denial now, thanks.

I'm thinking I should start preparing for my fashion course soon. So, I will need to start looking at sewing machines.

Does anyone have an awesome sewing machine recommendation or, to be honest, know anything about sewing machines?

I believe mine will only need to be basic, but I'd prefer to invest in something a bit more advanced, esp. if I'm ( Read more... )

Just watched Torchwood and I can hardly contain my excitement! *dances* I will post a review later probably, just so I can squee over that scene. (Fellow fangirls, you know which one I mean).

In other incredible news, I have a message left on the home phone from TAFE. They want me to call them back to enrol in the Fashion course!!! :D I'm in!

This publishing plan is like pulling teeth.  I know what I want to do with my life (well, sort of), why can't I just tell my tutor face-to-face, rather than having to write it all down?  I mean, I know I'm a writer, but it would just make things much easier.  Talking about myself is okay, writing about myself seems a bit too vain.  It doesn't help ( Read more... )

TREND ALERT: CLOTHES IN A CAN
Forgot to pack a shirt? No worries, a British company has developed spray-on clothing. The invention, called Fabrican, works by releasing a pressurised liquid containing cotton fibres when it's sprayed directly onto the skin. The density of your outfit is up to you ... just spray on as much (or as ( Read more... )

Crit of my story in class yesterday seemed to go fairly well. Think it may have had something to do with the dress I wore. I even got a compliment on it. Though hopefully it had more to do with my writing ( Read more... )

I've been told I should update more often, but to be honest I don't know what to say.  Um.

1.  Chris and I went on our 1 year, 5 months anniversary dinner date yesterday.  Chris claims (and he does this every month) that going out on the 26th of every month has nothing to do with our anniversary (even though the date has significance), it's just a ( Read more... )

Went to Bren's Gay themed partay last night.  Nice house.  Very nice house.  He liked the book I bought him (The Bell Jar), though I had a massive freak-out when I thought he already had it.

Costumes:  I cross-dressed, Adrian came as his gay self, Lara wore glittery accessories, and Chris...he wore an hawaiian shirt and claimed to be "Stuart and ( Read more... )

Shopping spree with Mum yesterday. Hurrah! Purchases ( Read more... )
