So I've had an inordinate amount of fun creating these two outfits for tomorrow night's Runaway Runway show...I think I would love to do this as a real job. I've designed a couple outfits for myself, including the top that I have the materials for, but the dress we designed and constructed for Kirsten...well, I want a real-life version of it!
I will try and post pictures tomorrow...I was going to do that today but I forgot my camera and the cord that connects it to the 'netz. I'm not exactly crazy about my outfit that I'm modeling because I'm wearing it. I'm trying to lose weight but sometimes certain types of clothing just don't look good on someone who is naturally stocky. [Not calling myself fat - but I am stocky] But I think I'm going to like it more once I finish the skirt and try it on w/ the top. We'll see. I'm still excited about the runway!! :) There is something in me that's just dying to show off and be a ham. Not sure where that came from, exactly...*mystified*
Anyway - I hope that because of this fashion show and creating things for myself, I can begin to fashion things for other people - I told my sister I would design her wedding dress (whenever she gets engaged, haha - she's graduating high school this year and so far, no interest in anybody - at least, she hasn't mentioned it).
I think my love of fashion stemmed from creating clothes for my paper doll that Grandma Mac (Mom's mom - Mcmahan is their last name) made for me - she was an artist. I still have the paperdoll and most of the original outfits Grandma made - which far surpassed my own poor attempts at creating beautiful gowns. I'd like to get Charlotte (the paper doll) back out and see if I can come up with something better now that I know what I like.
I like: ruching, tucks, sashes, bows, accents, elegance, sophistication, haute-couture, embellishments, and other such things that spark interest in an outfit. I'd love to make beautiful gowns and cute clothes for everyday wear. I just think it would be a lot of fun. :)
We'll see...I've got a summer ahead of me full of building dollhouses, designing and constructing clothes, playing harp, helping w/ a D&D campaign and writing stories...oh...and working. I s'pose. :P
Anyway...here's hoping I get to work at something cool this fall instead of working somewhere that my talents go unused. *shudder* Awful thought. :P
Wish me luck on the Runway!!!
