why hello little present to myself

I got his top in the mail yesterday and i was pretty much in it by the time i caught the bus. brian and i went to a craft fair where every two steps you saw the same thing you've seen before. a lot of the same thing. which was disappointing. i really like going to craft fairs because i like to see the diversity of what people are putting out there, and really trying to make something unique rather than recognizing that there is a fad for mustaches right now and making them to sell. Or coming up with some lame bicycle wheel shape as a heart with the letters "i" and "sf" around it. oh god and with the amount of feathers I saw i could make a full on coop of clucking bastards.

i hate to say there was even a guy selling prints on canvas of.......sigh...tape collections. cassette tape collections, there were different types of collections, but all extremely generic. like the cure and the ramones , you know "the basics" b.t.w. fuck the cure, ramones rule.

the whole thing felt over produced, a lot of the vendors were also not very friendly, which I don't like. things i did like .. a couple of my friends were vendors. my friend , Carla who actually lives in my building does embroidery work and cards, so that was pretty cool. and a couple of my buddies were there and i stopped by and said what up to them.

i hate saying that I wasn't very impressed, but it was a pseudo indie mall. in the marina!!!!

i'm going to apply.

it seems like it works, it's expensive but it works. and i'm broke. so how do i do that?

huh. someone buy my clothes for gods sake.

oh wait back to my new present!!!!!! i got this in the mail before the fair which made me really happy because i felt like i had something completely one of a kind, and i got a lot of looks, weather they were bad or not, i don't care.

check out this chick's etsy, she's super sweet and i really like her stuff.

this is when allison and i went to paris. not! it was the day after my birthday and we were still wasted so we kept it up and listened to french music. i drew this on the window with dry erase to make us feel better about it. cause we couldn't leave the bed all day.

our miller high light

it was my birthday and i had to act like a 5 year old brat and set up all of my presents.

the shirt and the hat my friend allison made for me and the back massager, which is the sweetest present. my body is ache ville after 12 hours of sewing. jamie got me the judy garland record. two mix tapes from friends and my favorite crass record, penis envy. an awesome knitted doll from my room mate annette, red velvet cake from my liquor store lady, a beyonce cd i bought for myself and a song my other room mate , Lauren wrote for me. It was super sweet, and made me feel on top of the world. like someone knew me and appreciated the things that make up me. She's such a sweet wonderful person i love it when she comes home drunk from jazz shows and wants to smoke cigarettes with me. it's pretty sweet.

kick ass doll made by annette and fake check from my buddy billy

the sweetest scissors in the world from brian

the tape i made of lauren's song.

my beyonce cd. i couldn't afford the deluxe. bummer!

brian and i moved rooms, so we're not in the pantry anymore. we have a real room! i have room to sew now! in the process of putting things away i was too into all of the sun coming in the room and a bag of t-shirts i have been meaning to cut up. so needless to say, i spent the rest of the day putting these tops together. it was hard cutting up that blink green day shirt. i got that when i was 14 when i saw them in oakland. it was really funny because at the time i was going through my ripping up clothes thing and i wore my p.e. pants that i turned into a skirt and i can't remember what kind of top but probably ripped up. i had short pink hair and i had liberty spikes formed by a combination of wood and glitter glue (that fucked my hair up so bad) i also had a shit load of ballchain and chain that i wrapped around my neck (not proud) and dark eyeliner. i was a loser. but some lady that worked for a news shows though i was interesting and wanted to interview me and asked me about my outfit. i was down but then she started asking me if the way i dressed had anything to do with my teen angst or how i felt about my parents. i told her i just felt the prettiest that way.

dressing up a bit.

I started my big long month with a custom dress for a fellow blogger, Cassidy. i had to get it together in 3 days, and after 3 fittings it came out perfectly! It fit her like a glove. She chose the fabric based on a design she had seen of mine while I was having a street sale. It was great, I didn't sell anything that day but I got co-missioned to make this dress, and it was worn for a photo shoot for a local bike company (thing???) and she wore the dress to an event in Florida.

why don't i look like clara bow?

some things i found and like

some pictures to satisfy your current needs

there you are, some pink and a skellie with a blink tee.

crappy punk rock for life

i think i want to write a zine...

i usually make zines full of comics and drawings and little writing. this time i'm going to do the opposite. one thing about quitting my job is i hardly ever really get to talk to people. so my thoughts clot and when brian gets home i vomit too much information at one time for a person. this is just my rambling so don't expect much, but this is a little bit of it....

i don’t know where i want to live anymore.

i don’t know where i want to be. where i want to live. that’s a huge deal. think about it. where do you want to spend your time on earth? i would love to study art in paris, and travel europe during my summers off. is that possible?

those little glories that are offered in life.

do you think god invented money? that’s some fucked up game.

make man.

make woman.

make temptation

make money.

thanks, asshole.

speaking of which, notes on being an american.

here’s the scene..i’m the only white girl in the class full of many cultures...we’re learning history. i’m the corner dunce with an apologetic sigh to offer.

don’t worry , years from now i will be paying for the dues of men and women who were never my ancestors, but yet since i am a caucasian human i am in the cartagory of “bad” and or “evil” .

if you want to get me for anything, i’m german, but my family wasn’t involved in that junk associated with germans either. so fuck off.

how abou thtis, i deserve a little compensation for my troubles of growing up as an american dope.

send me to school, dicks. are you kidding me? $24,000 a semester? what does a part time student usually pay? oh i see the entire fee for “campus health” is for all students. huh. thanks, click.

damn. so... maybe can i get finacial aid?

oohhhhh i see , my parents make too much? how about this......... (takes in deep breath)

my parents have been scraping by pay check to pay check paying off school loans, taking care of a child ( in my mother’s case two) , paying rent, an not to mention taking care of themselves, since i can remember. the first christmas they could actually buy me some things i freaked out crying because there was an abundance of crap i hadn’t recognized.

since i started my teen years my parents have been working towards careers that most people start running to in their twenties.And now my parents, yes , they are great successors.

With new families.

my extremely short weekend with my siblings...

MY BROTHER GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL!!!!!

soeur temp

did i mention my brother graduated high school?

she's learning to drape and sew. she's really got the eye for it. some how she draped the most beautiful evening gown out of a bed sheet. we were going to make it and dye it and take pictures but we just didn't have the time, we started sewing and ....she had to go

she kept changing. we had a supermodel night. We, for once, were the models

the print, and in the middle is some pleated fabric with lace and buttons

i made this dress for her the camera i used was real shitty so you can't see the print that well, but the top is cut out paper doll print and the skirt is polkadot embroidered cotton i dyed pink, with rit (which no one uses anymore for some reason) , with some yellow poly lace trim. it's cute, i like it. she's a little poser

IN THE MAKING!!!!

so i'm making a zine/catalog of allison and my stuff for Clementine's Attic. If you would like one please oh please let me know and i will send one off to you:)

i'm super excited...it should be on the xerox machines by tomorrow, if i acn get it done tonight.

ahhhhhh!!!!

just a little something for the time being...

jamie after her haircut, we'll dye it tomorrow and show ya. but for the time being she's lookin' super cute with bangs! sorry the flash caught your glasses so i drew pepperoni in the spot :)

jamie before the bangs. jaimez made me really happy when she came home..i mean to my house after work with mother board cuffs on her sleeves. i particularly love this print and get shunned for it so that part of me was satisfied to a kindred soul, but also that they are 17th century-esque cuffs at the end of her patchwork velvet lapeled jacket that she had hand sewn on at work cause she was bored. she is seriously one of my favorite people to see everyday, she has the same jamie look everyday but so many colors and patterns!!!! please comment if you agree she should add some lace under those cuffs! whoa is this the jamie post?

big , bright pink and red lace bow, fantasy or reality? both!

willow smith ? hell yeah, i love her!

keeping it cool in the cold, well this was a funny shot. but i really appreciate it, but they made the clothes looks so adorable!!

i love this shoot, these ladies are top notch!

thank you alexys and taylor!

the main thing i realized for the first time in full;

there are so many things in the world and i have oh so little time.

I don't want to spend everyday working for a bite,

losing in a war that i'm too weak to fight.

all of their breathless jerks,

turn into a motion that somehow works.

painless listless effort that's what they produce

okay. that was fun.

Clementine's Attic

This is basically my fantasy dress.

heavy vintage circus printed cotton lined with soft blue cotton the skirt is embroidered polkadot and tea dyed with a slight temperature of pink.

the monkey head came from a cheap stuffed animal from vegas. I didn't make the belt but Alexys showed me how cute the baby doll dresses were with a belt so i went to scrap and grabbed a couple for the shoot yesterday.

stay gangsta

and i'm sure that it is obvious this number is one of my favorites too! let me start with my least favorite which is still up there in the tens. black lace trim, sequins, sharks? hell yes!

These are just a few of the items i have for sale through Clementine's Attic.

hope you like it!
