Went to the I.C.F.F and Surtex show on Monday. Saw great design, but somehow this year seemed different, and not so much in a good way... :( However, I did feel like designers were sooo much nicer than they were last year? who knows... Here are pics of favorites I saw. I am sooo mad at myself that I did not bring my camera, I so would have loved to get pictures with some of the designers themselves! For instance the designer Robert Horn for R. Horn R.Horn had the coolest outfit on I smiled so hard! He literally looked like he was dressed for "wabbit seasone" :) so cool!

Schools out for the summer! Trying to do a deep clean before I get started on any projects. I am quite appalled at how many magazines I have accumulated and of course have not made any time to thoroughly look through. So after spending thee ENTIRE day yesterday tearing through all of my magazines, I have decided that I am only allowed to buy 1 magazine a month [SO-EN] and then 2 the rest of the year for my birthday and Christmas! ^^^seriously^^^ fooling around with my drawings... my insides are all crazy like again with inspirations flooding my head from every direction.... it is extremely overwhelming sometimes which at times makes me so exhausted that I just want to smother my head with my pillows, and find the deepest corner to sink into and have tons of blankets piled on me... :/ Just got back from seeing the movie Surfwise with my sister. This movie......touched me very deeply for reasons that I would not find appropriate to talk about over my blog, but it is just so interesting to see or hear about parents and/or children who struggled pretty hard as much as you, if not harder. There were some really funny,sad,heartbreaking, and uncomfortable movements strung throughout the entire movie, and some unresolved issues that leaves me feeling needing to know more and wanting an update within the next couple years. I suggest going and seeing this movie, gives you a lot to think about, especially in regards to the kind of parent you want to be. And...way back when > 9 years ago actually, I had the opportunity of meeting Adam Paskowitz [the 6th child of 9 children] when he was in the band "The Flys" and getting to hang out with him for quite a bit after one of his shows, he and I swapped stories of our lives growing up as kids, which after hearing his story about he and his family being hard core surfers and living in a camper their wholes totally out beat my stories any day! I have always thought about him and his family and even wanted to get in touch with him over the years to find out more about what his life was like. So seeing this movie made it really cool to be able to get a deeper sense of what he was talking about when I met him back when I was 17! Anyways, I could go on and on about how cool Adam is and interesting is life growing up was but I think it best if you just see the film! :)

JUNIOR SHOW!!! Thursday was the day of our Junior Show, which went very well luckily - in regards to no malfunctions with the clothing, children getting hurt etc. Ezra my model [pictured below] was AWESOME!!! He totally rocked my outfit and has a natural talent to model clothes, besides that he has such a keen sense of style all on his own and he is only 7! You can actually see him in this months Martha Stewart Living reading on a couch with his younger sister Ada, I forget the name of the spread they are in, but still check it out. :) AND>>>>>>> only two more days of school left and then I am a SENIOR! HIP HIP > HURRAH!

One more week of school left! Let me just say this. PARSONS = CRAZY!!! I don't know how we all do it, honestly - we are zombies walking around at school...I wish someone would make a reality show of our school, that would actually be worth watching and learning from! :( As for recent activity, the usual > except I had the opportunity to hear my Themes in Fashion Teach Ms. June Weir interview Mrs. Iris Apfel last Friday. My teacher invited us to a small gathering of women who had come to see Mrs. Apfel, afterwards my classmate Ivy Kirk and I got to meet Mrs. Apfel and get a picture with her and our teacher. It was quite the day! If you don't know of Mrs. Apfel or Ms. Weir, I suggest you google them! :)
