Why am I not a TA already? →

You’re in a group discussion filled with first year students, and you’re being your usually badass gothic self and to them you look like..

While to you they look like…

But because your mark depends on looking like you are doing something during this discussion group, you wait for someone to start the conversation. Of course you can’t start it yourself because you’re about as friendly as a sack of rusty nails.

There is a few silent minutes of you sizing each of them up.

And then more silence. So you’re forced to start the discussion yourself. Cue the shocking discovery that none of them know what the fuck is going on and are completely panicking..

Thankfully you’re totally a BAMF, so you lay down the law with the kids and explain to them what the fuck the prof is talking about because..

Ain’t that the truth?

You do all the talking and spend the hour explaining the all of the material in simple analogies related to the fashion industry and business to a group of girls only a year younger than you. By the end of it they’re hanging on your every word demanding more information.

But again you are the most socially reclusive person on the planet and are all like..

…with so much attention focused on you.

You don’t want to give away all of the answers for the material so all you can reply with is “(insert class name here)…

                       +

And exit the room as quickly as you can.

3 hours later you realize what you did today.

…Why am I not a TA again?

Oh right. The whole hating “everyone and everything”-thing.

Projects: Winter 2011 →

One of the downsides to being the only person (still alive) in a family who sews is that whenever anyone (read: my mother and sister) buys new pants, rip sweaters, or pop off buttons, I am the one who fixes them. Bonus! I also get the wondefuckingful task of making all of my little sister’s costumes! Fuuuuuuuuuu….

Following projects are things that I plan to get done in the next two months or so, as many of them are Christmas presents, or for conventions.

  • JubJub’s “Sexy Faun” (her words not mine) costume for Aki-con this October. Her and her irritating little friends are going as some sort of fantasy-animal group, and because the others are going as fairies, JubJub wants to go as something more beastly; thus a faun. But a sexy faun. Is my little sister becoming a furry?

    …………………….I sure hope not.
  • Lauren’s purple beret (to match her purple winter jacket) that I will be felting myself with this wonderful tutorial from Threadbanger. I’ve made hats before for Gothic Lolita outfits but never felted anything before, so this should be an interesting learning experience. I might even make a few lolita-styled ones and sell those on my etsy account, which is pretty bare at the moment.
  • GET SHIT ON ETSY.

                      This so fucking much. I am the worst procrastinator when it comes the Etsy shoppe, and yet I have SO MUCH STOCK sitting in my flat currently that needs to get fucking sold so it can leave and never return. Optimistically I am hoping on getting some stuff on there before the Christmas rush season hits. Wait… does Etsy even have a Christmas rush? Fuck. 
  • Julia’s school uniform. The skirt is completely done at this point but after she decided to simply alter a bought suit jacket instead of having me make one from scratch, I have to go out this weekend with her and get some double sided interfacing for the detailing on the jacket, because you can’t exactly sew anything on top of a fully completed and lined piece the same way you can easily sew on detail to individual pieces. I also need to trim down the tie some more to make it skinnier…
  • Izumo Kamiki  (from Ao No Exorcist) cosplay for JubJub again. I have a lot more time for this one as it’s for Sakura-con in April. Still a pain in the ass when I have to make sure JubJub isn’t going to swayed by her idiot friends into purchasing shitty quality wigs and inaccurate fabrics. Bonus trickiness because this is also a group cosplay piece, meaning all of the fabrics and notions need to match.
  • Pajamas. FOR EVERYONE. Because everyone could use a pair of fuzzy pj’s for the fucking freezing weather that is about to come our way. But mostly because I have literally pounds of flannel that needs to be used for something more productive than taking up space in my sewing room. 
  • Rom Com costume (that needs to be completed for Halloween). I will be purchasing the fabric this weekend hopefully.

                   Most Excellent.
  • I think I am still making the guy’s kitschy Dragon Ball Z costumes? No idea for sure really. Josh’s own little sister is charge of his, and I’m supposed to be making Alex’s….except for the fact that Alex is ignoring me. Which Lauren assures me is normal after a guy makes some serious moves on a girl and then realizes he bit off more than he can chew; that there is no realistic way he can actually maintain a relationship with his current workload and now has to awkwardly lower contact levels immediately. For all I know, I might not even hear from him until Halloween itself. If ever.

           Alex, kindly please just tell me to fuck off already and stop being such a pussy. We’re both busy people. We’ll get coffee together once a month and that’s more than enough for me.
  • Burgundy canvas silk screened tote bag prototype for Etsy. And for my groceries. Lol.
  • Hem my navy blue dress-suit thingy from Winners. Everything I own needs to be a mini skirt just to look proportional on me. 
  • JubJub’s winter purple plaid one-piece
  • BRAS BRAS EVERWHERE! Now that I have a bra pattern to work with instead of having to draft my own. Cue all the jokes about me using a lingerie line to feel up hot chicks ;)

        …for fashion! I mean for fashion!
  • Munny figures of Waston and Mycroft as Christmas presents for Lauren and Daniel.
  • Make myself a goddamn apron that will be the cutest on the planet, because I need one so badly and I refuse to wait until Christmas for my skeleton apron.
  • Laptop/netbook cases for Etsy because I love making them and they are oh so fucking easy.

That’s all that I can think of for now.

Matte Nail Polish!  →

I finally found a matte nail polish!

It’s called ManGlaze - Matte is Murder. 

I’m pretty sure its only available in England? Or it’s an English brand? Either way you can apparently purchase it on Amazon.com as they don’t have a functioning webstore.

I am totally adding this to my Christmas list! 

Way to go self for spending more than 5 minutes looking for this!

(I always use Nerdfigher gifs for Happy/Melancholy Satannista times.)

Leather Jacket Dream →

So today I got out of class a bit early and went to Metrotown in search of Fall sales…and guess what I found?

My dream leather jacket bitches!

After picking up some t-shirt deals for the JubJub’s christmas present, I swung by Danier leather company and to my surprise, they were already having their fall sales going on, and most of their stock was 50% off!

Of course I was bombarded by sales associates, and so just immediately asked to see what black leather jackets they had on sale. I instantly fell in love with the above piece, and was especially delighted to find it on sale, and in my size, which is Danier’s “XXS” that no other coat/jacket/leather company in Canada makes well tailored enough for me to invest my money in. This baby still cost me 300$, but if it’s one thing I know from the All-Mother and personal experience with well fitting jackets and shoes, is that if you love it and you can afford it, GET IT NOW! because you are never going to find it ever again. This was definitely one of those cases. Plus it was already half-off… there was no way I was ever going to find a better deal than that with a year’s warranty attached to it as well.

Enjoy a blurry image of itty bitty me wearing it:

I’m probably the luckiest son of a bitch for sales alive.
