BioAnd here is my journal! I like to talk about a lot of different things -- I complain and celebrate in equal measure, I think, though I try to do more of the latter than that of the former, LOL!
Mostly I talk about fashion, sewing and the saga of FIDM. I graduated from FIDM - Los Angeles on March 23rd, 2009 with a degree in Fashion Design (Professional Designation). I have a great love for contemporary and historical fashions and am blessed to have access to FIDM's Study Collection, which lets students and alumni handle, study, and photograph historic originals dating from as far back as the late 18th C.
I am also currently searching for a job in the fashion industry! Yay! Once I've worked in the industry for a few years I'd like to further my education at FIT, NYU, or another reputable school. If I had a ton of money I'd go to the Ecole Lesage in Paris and ply my trade as an embroiderer! I'm saving up $$ for coursework and a trip there.
For inspiration I draw on art in all its forms, from painting to architecture to music and dance -- the more creativity I surround myself with, the better!
A final note: I can be shy about some things (example: I'm not brave enough to dress up in historic or movie/TV costumes in public) so this journal is friends-only. In order for me to friend you, you must have been referred by a friend I already have (and I check with them, trust me!) or already be an acquaintance of mine in some capacity. I'm not trying to be anti-social, I'm just selective and careful :)
