I can’t believe we are at this point in the semester. Everything is moving at mach speed and just as quickly my energy seems to be fleeting away from me! But it’s the last stretch, the final length, and I’m going to tap into my horse power to get me through.

What have I been up to. This past week has been a roller coaster really. Euphoric highs and devastating lows. After many trips back and forth to Beloit, WI (not a great town), I got the leather bags back and they are much closer to where I need them to be. Not by any means perfect prototypes, which I wanted, but they also won’t be an embarrassment on the runway, so that’s progress. I had a photo shoot with my model Oliver Whiting and photographer Elizabeth Wadium. I made three more looks for the collection (total of nine for those counting) and we got some really gorgeous product shots of the bags.

Met with my video producer to finalize the shots that will be in the video. Had several meeting with my graphic designer, Michael Doyle Olson, and am really happy about the progress of the look book. It’s completely gorgeous. Very happy.

Bit of a delay in the video progress, not sure why exactly, I’m guessing Aaron has a lot on his plate. My composer backed out, today, so as of this moment I have a silent film, very 1920s of me. So I’m trying to figure that one out.

I’ve been working on the costume for Hybrid Salon for the Hair Affair, should be able to drop that off tonight and be done with it. Thank goodness. Tea-dyed the straight jacket today. Will do a little more distressing on that and it should be good to go.

Ordered my prints for the install. Got barn wood from Holly Easland for the gallery, and need to go to Full Compass to get another media clamp, hook, thing. (I’m techy)

Yeah, lots going on. Lots and lots. Trying to keep my head above water.
