True Life: I'm an art hobo,






Is it ridiculous that I had to buy 2 very expensive Moleskine sketchbooks for class, and yet I still draw my spur of the moment ideas on the backs of dates passed from my Simpsons desk calendar? I had a dream that Catherine Malandrino asked me to be her intern and I desperately tried to fit another event into my already packed schedule (I think we worked it out for Mondays from 4-4:06 p.m.). Anyways, while I was in her showroom (in my dream) I saw all these beautiful dresses, but when I woke up at 8:30 for my real Thursday internship (with LaRok) this was the only one I could remember. It looked much better than this in the dream. It was a flowy lightweight kelly green cotton with kind of a Herve Leger diamond panel that's like stretchy seatbelt material. I'm definitely going to make it (or something like it) for the gallery show in the spring semester. And I'm going to embellish the shit out of it.
I'm not sure if I should have taken pictures, or if I can post them or not (because some of the stuff is for upcoming seasons), but for the last (and only) 2 weeks of my Thursday internship, I've been running errands in Midtown, which I love, and embellishing tops with rhinestones, pearls, beads, et cet, which I also love! Today, I got sent on the town (beading town) with a limitless credit card to procure inspirational beads at an awesome wholesale store. They had every bead you ever wanted and some you didn't even know you had an affinity for. She didn't give me a limit, but I couldn't bring myself to spend more than $50.50. I'm growing up? Later, on one of my drop off errands, I came upon an elevator with a TV in it! Aah! Being the midwesterner I am, I had to take pictures of this demon elevator:

Maybe I should get a tumblr like everyone else, I think pictures would be easier. No, I've always been a rebel...Anyways, here's the pictures of the top I embellished today:
P.S.- I added a new blog label. It's a line from one of my favorite movies, The Intern, starring Dominique Swain. It's great. You should Netflix it.
P.P.S.- I don't know what I was thinking being lazy and trying to link these pictures from my gmail.

Spam Tattletale, Me=you missies

So I was going through the spam folder of my gmail today, and I got an ad for "Sending bulk e-mail blasts". Being an emeritus marketer, I quickly cut through the bs and to the core of the ad: You're essentially paying to set up spambots for whatever endeavor you want. My initial reaction was a 2nd grade "Ooh, I'm telling!". But whom to tell? Google allowed the ad and technically I didn't have to click on it so it's all my fault. But that was kind of the highlight of my day, being smart and deductive. Also, I'm not gonna drag this out, long story short, I miss everyone that reads this little bloggy. I guess you don't know what you have until it's gone, and it's true that you can never come home again. Something will have changed and things won't be the same as the glory days in which you remember them. I know I'll see you all again, some sooner than others. I just wanted you to know in case I get gnawed to the bone by rats on the subway (very likely), or get cholera from the condensation of air conditioners that drops from condos as I walk down William Street (more likely that you would think). Lovesies!
