You better work, work it girl...

I went to a fashion and portfolio show tonight for the graduating fashion design students at school. It was fun! I think I was the only graphic design student there, but I wanted to see all the students work in fashion design. I see them in the hallways with their dress forms and patterns and measuring tapes and what nots, but I never get a chance to see anything they've done - until tonight. Of course I didn't have my camera with me, but let me tell you, there is some talent out there that will give the people on Project Runway a challenge! I "facebooked" a few and looked at some portfolios of their work.
The runway show was great. The first part was a design contest for masks. Some were your basic Mardi Gras feathers and beads looking things, then there was one with a huge plume and danglies and sparkly things and I loved the one that was brown and black and gold and had a huge beak on it. That one didn't win though. There were six designers and they were all so different. I had three favorites. One was called Funhouse and it reminded me of a demented, dominatrix Alice in Wonderland type theme. Bright, bold and geometric. Another was Metal Militia. It was black on black with studs and spikes and skulls. It was fun and still wearable, believe it or not. My other favorite was different than those two, it was called Forever and For Always. The designer called it "a country wedding for a city girl" and it was! Lace and satin and some ruffles. It was nice.
Below are some pictures I scanned from the program.

I've been feeling, not exactly bored, but missing something lately: adventure. I am missing an adventure. I love my friends in Denton and try to see them when I can, but it's sooo far. And even though I am living with friends, we never get to do much because of the baby, so I am still trying to find new friends. Preferably single and over 25ish. I just want someone to go somewhere with so I don't have to go alone. If you know someone like that, send them my way!
