SCARVES! FINALLY!!!!

Peter and I finally put a small collection of scarves online. It only took 4EVA. Please take a look and let us know what you think!
We are super duper bummed not to be in California for T-givez but are making due with our amazing friends and yummy food here. Our menu as follows:

A 30lb turkey! (a collective first)
Curry stuffing
Garlic mashed sweet potatoes
Cranberry lime ginger sauce
Cranberry pumpkin bread
Potato and artichoke soup
Asparagus
Sweets
Cocktails GAH-LORE
other stuff I'm probably forgetting...

Otherwise, we are *this close* to finishing the exposure unit. And. WE. CANNOT. WAIT. to start printing for reals. Especially cuz we've already got about 3 jobs lined up. This past monday morning, I rolled out of bed and printed (in my pjz!) some samples for Wayne that turned out amazing but we postponed our meeting to friday so I will post the results thereafter. Needless to say, it felt great to print again. We also tried a different brand of textile ink that worked much, much better than the regular 'ol speedball that we normally use.

Oh, and Jeff and I started a project here.

easy breesy be be weny

there will always be a soft spot in mah heart for built by wendy. it was around the time when i secretly subscribed to sassy (my mom despised it) that i found out about her guitar straps and dresses... you know, when i was 13. man, i wish i had held on to those issues.

the new fall line is the most sophisticated of her's yet, though still somewhat demure, wholesome, Midwest americana meets lederhosen vibe.

speaking of BBW, we went to hope's open studio last night. i love the gestural quality of her paintings and expanded color palette. her show at richard heller in LA opens on september 6th. (hope does illustration for BBW)

notes on proximity aka nerding out: a) i visited booklyn last winter, which is in the same building as her studio; b) wendy sold me a pattern once. she was much shorter than i expected. however, i always forget how tall i am.

duh.

omg. blogger is so buggy lately.

I forgot to mention the other day that I'm working on a large farewell edition for trades with peepz at school. With all my love, a nest of Pomeranian puppies. There's also 'ol goat cat in the works if I can ever finish writing and making stuff for my installation. And looking for a job and apartment. SOON!

i won't get out of bed for less than 10k.

"Resort wear."

Left (one of my all time favez) and middle are Cavalli from a couple of years ago and the right is Gucci 08 (though it totally screams charlotte park avenue princess to me). Sometimes I feel like I'm the biggest fashion prude baby. Where is the Louis Vuitton? And Marni? Plus Missoni won't load. Guh. Fashion week is the ultimate for procrastinating. I'm exhausted by it yet can't stop looking. Oh, but I really love Vivienne Westwood's collection (ahem, houndstooth and digi patterns). Its quirky and weird and honest; one of the more wearable lines I've seen. House of Blaholland. I'll put that one out there just for his knits and sense of color. OK, I think I'm done and shall retire to thesis land for a bit.

Wait, Mr. Dior Coutureface?
I need a job.

healthy scoop of cap'n crunch soup

i watched benny & joon last night. when i close my eyes i see this now

does anyone else have that problem?

anyway, looking for a job blows but i just have to remember that everyday i am closer to doing FTFS (full-time fun stuff) with breanne. one more graduate studies semester and we are together again!

i should fire you and burn down your friggin' house.

stay tuned... i'm trying to make changes to the format but blogger's totally dropping a deuce on itself today. guh. ps: peter says that microsoft bidding a hundred bazill on yahoo is like senile ['ol goat cat] grandpa buying an ugly hooker.

in and out really fast.

(Vllg has a new poster.)

Liv and I totally decompressed with an interTV sess last night. My class is really great, however I'm losing my voice and when I laugh it sounds like a squeak. I feel like I'm living the art camp experience I always dreamed of. We have four or five print projects to knock out in the next few weeks. Cougar cards, biz cards, stationary, and aforementioned valentines. YAYZ.

I'm also considering integorting 30 Rock into my thesis.

two thousand awesome.

we'll be back next week! liv is in oakland styling a rapper and i'm about to start teaching if we don't get stuck in california due to blizzardtown. not that it'd be a bad thing since we have a few hun hun new year's photoz to edit and such.
