Napoleon Dynamite eat your heart out.

The weather's been a bit schizophrenic lately, but a couple of weekends ago the temperature was mild enough to tempt me and my brother out into the garden after I'd finished work. 

Everything I'm wearing there I actually bought that day, save the crucifix, which my sister bought me for my birthday so I could ward off vampires. Though I think it might actually be a preventative so she can secretly ward off me. And sneakily steal my foundation as I've gotten even paler, and can't really use it. I think I'm having delayed stress from the exams; my hair's falling, I'm constantly cold and my legs are really tired. But I'm entertaining the idea of going veggy again, especially after all the dead birds my cat's been bringing in. And shock horror, I've given up cake. Well cake, chocolate, biscuits, breakfast and fast food. But not coffee or tea. They're my life blood.

Summer is here though and can warm up my so called icy heart. You can really tell my sister's big on the compliment front. 

Someone donated loads of items to our shop from places like Topshop, so I picked my self up three blouses, a magician coat and those amusing spectacles. Its a real shame we're shutting down, I'll have nothing to do with my saturdays and will miss the company of such lovely people and clothes. 

Life goes on I guess.

p.s Nearly all these photos are on my Tumblr; eve-rei, if that's your preferred blogging apparatus. 

graduate fashion week

So there's me sitting at home, lonely as a pea, fully expecting to stay in my pajamas all day long.

Alas, there I was curled up with Geordie Shore, and then the phone suddenly began a'ringing,

With my uncle phoning to ask if I'd like to go to, drum roll please,

GRADUATE FASHION WEEK

gah

Capitals are needed to express the joy my heart felt.

We had tickets to see the Kingston University show, on Monday, so most had already had there's. I got to have a wonder round the different university's stalls and check out all the places I'm thinking of applying to, and taking a peek at the different students books.

The fashion show was nothing short of superb. The sheer level of quality was almost overwhelming, and with each student you could see a definite aesthetic and appreciation for design. There seemed to be a lot of construction/deconstruction which I really enjoyed, as finding a well tailor design is one thing, but turning cloth into a shape, and then into a design, one which is well executed, is another thing.

All Designs @ The Students of Kingston University

So as to not overload you all with too many photos, I only selected, well a few, the rest can be found here

The 16th photo, which to save you counting is after the dominatrix unicorn, are the designs of Francesca Armstrong, who is actually my old art teacher's daughter. If any of you watch 'This Morning' on ITV you might have seen one of her designs in their graduate competition. How amazing is that?

Do excuse the random heads popping into shot, we were able to blag are way into the blue section next to the catwalk, but my height isn't quite adapted for runway photography. I have the running order of the designers, but my mind was muddled by the sheer velocity of it all, so right now I can't quite recall who's is who's. So if there are any pieces you especially love and wish to know more, I'd be happy to do some investigating and pass on details and names.

I literally have so many prospectuses as home, and that not even the end of it, I still have all my drama ones to come through as well from places like Central and Bristol.

What to do? Where to go? Choices, choices.

sweet, sweet freedom

so finally after a year of grueling, general brain application and grumbling, my A levels are over. 

I still can't shake that feeling that I need to be revising, I'll wake up in the morning and think, well how much can I learn today.

Though things might be changing, seeing as I had a dream last night in which I interviewed Obama about his tastes in style.

He enjoys pinstripe suits.

I actually finished my art exam quite a few weeks ago,

It was under the title 'Mystery and Imagination' which basically means EVERYTHING

I did quite like that title.

What it didn't like was that we then had to complete a 200 x 40 cm canvas in 8 hours. 

Ridiculous.

It was basically bigger than me.

And as you all know, nothing ever goes right in exams.

Bleach bleed, my white paint mysteriously turned blue and everything kept on drying much lighter than I originally painted. 

Oh the woes of an art student.

We also got the chance to submit our previous works to the Royal Academy, so along with my Florence canvas, I also submitted my textiles piece.

This time we had the more specific title of 'Objects Past and Present', which of course called for unicorns.

I really am sensing an equestrian undercurrent in my work. Which is bad as I am crap at painting horses.

Nothing I've submitted will win, but I'm sure my homage to Harry Potter with my light-bolt rabbit will earn massive awesome points.

In my head, that is.

Its basically a massive version of one of those snappy things made out of paper. With loads of freaky looking animals and eyes all over it.

 

Oh I question my mind sometimes.

With all ym new free time, I'm also making an effort to update my tumblrs, eve-rei and milk-white-teeth

so check them out if you enjoy multiple pictures of cats.

But come on, who doesn't?
