sketch book

some things from my sketch book...


[original plan to make my prom dress back when i just wanted some sleek in the dark grey to blue grey to navy blue range, could never find anything i liked though, horizontal pleats yay! i had actually practised a lot of it with paper lmao]


[completely changed my mind and this was my second plan for my dress, some sort of cream lace with those sequins that are clear but shine my rainbows sewed in random places haha, with a slip of course. basically it had to be a light colour, white, silver or cream and i HAD to have black tights, that became a necessity.]



[some people daaaancin'!]



[it says laura! :D]


[it says mёlk :D]



/////////////////////

also yesterday i went yet again hunting for high waisted shorts in the only place i know, american apparel, and as i was leaving a girl came up to me and basically told me she loved my look and asked if i wanted to work at an american apparel, which i do [50% discount!!!] i've just been very lazy/thought it'd be hard to get a job there, but she took my number and my photo despite the fact that i told her i'd be leaving in a month [but she said "well theres american apparels in toronto!"] so i'll apparently be getting a call sometime this week for an interview and shit, go figure!

i did not whoever find any shorts i wanted in my price range that i didn't already have.

im flyyying, but im still on the ground.

last week of highschool guys! [well and a half day monday... and 2 exams..., but close enough!]
so things have been busy busy busy finishing everything up, so i wont have much to post, maybe, i dont know, its always hard to tell... all my outfits will be repeats since i like to wear my only my favourites for the last days of the year haha

in art news, I HAVE SO MUCH ART. I need to get it all up here some how! but here are my issues, theyre either...
-paintings on canvases
-images that are too large to scan
-sculptures or have 3D elements
-digital images that were made in flippin piece of shit QUARKXPRESS F U, that can only be converted into pdf's, no jpegs or nothin'... I have printed copys of those as well, but too big for the scanner...

for real, does anyone know how to make a PDF file an URL? i see this a lot of the net, but how can it be done!

but heres a lil' installation we had to do for out art summative, we could bring in some pasts works for it as well...



I look stubby :(

also those headphones are BROKEN! fffffffffff myyyy liiiiife, im quite pissed off, first a problem with the end of the wire which could be fixed my just turned it, but now the other headphones wire is messed up where it connects to the speaker, christ man!
and i dont even flipping care next trip to MTL or TO im going straight to UO and getting me some nouveau pair of the same ones, i just love 'em too much! i swear to the lord ill take better care of them this time!

also i finally got a prom dress, still on the hunt for shoes though... ill wait til i get some official looking prom pictures [zomg!], but ill im gonna say is that is was hella expensive. :S :S :S

alrighty then... guess well see if anything gets up in the meantime... [meantime? is that really the correct expression, looks so wrong....], but for now its back to running around with yearbooks...
