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.

F R E E D O M

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?

the universe is aligning

warm breezes beckon

It's the Easter holidays, so that of course means starting my revision procrastination by helping my mum's new love of feng shui, watching reruns of Charmed and course dying my hair all sort of artificial colours. 

My Drama exam is finally over, finally, after three months of preparation we finally performed it, so no more angry lesbianism for me

Which also means I've lifted my self imposed, badly upheld computer ban

So with out further ado,

The Fashion Show

I finally navigated the highly confusing iMovie and after a long long period of utter confusion made the original video even more bad quality, but I won't deprive you any further.

But for now I guess this crummy quality video will be the best insight into the show and my impressive inability to walk in a straight line as well as hold the title of shortest one there.

So first is Becki then Olivia then Lucy and then me.

Gosh I really do need a haircut
