she's a dancin' machine

Oh that's right...


I dedicate this post to the late Michael Jackson


Why?


Pssh...you know why. 


Ok seriously I could go on for days if you got me going, but I wont....so I decided to share with you one of my favorite performances of his. This was so hard to whittle down...because not only are there so many...they're all AMAZING


I love Michael Jackson, he literally is my favorite artist. So many focus on the latter part of his career and that's so wrong...look at his career as a whole and you'll be blown away


Seriously.





Ok you CANNOT sit there straight face and tell me that boy ain't the baddest there is...seriously try to do it.


(if that doesn't work...here's the link to the video :-) The Jackson 5- Dancing Machine 1973 )


Now down to business before I start ranting and raving..and screaming like a fangirl....haa


Day 11 of 365, Javia in my second photo shoot outfit.










 It's comprised of this really awesome metallic fabric I saved from 2 years ago and chains...straight up hardware store chains.


Yesss.


I also apologize...it looked much better before I colored her hair...sometimes markers loathe me.


Till next time suckas!


Peace


p.s I love you Michael Jackson...forever and ever

gah, creativity cramp

I've taken on a small project....one which I am delighted to participate in because I've never been approached for my work yet (kind of...depressing..*cough..anyway!)


So I'm making 2 (possibly 3) dresses for two photoshoots.


Yay!




...but then my brain shut down on 'cute' designs. CRAP! Idle brains really do stink...I was just getting back into the groove too..and I've hit a pothole.


I got at least one dress down..the other I think I'll have to make up as I go (ehh..)


so here it is Day 10 of 365....redheads do look good in red <3



If you couldn't tell this actually the girl from yesterday's post, Echo. I really like redheads, they're always very cute to me (well within REASON) and I think it's a crime that most of them have been told that they don't look good in red. 

B....S. 

It's jealousy I tell ya! If you're a redhead and have been told that just reply 'just because you can't wear wont stop me'

and repeat if needed <3

Till next time suckas!

Peace <3

the bee's knees

After two weeks of being too busy (and in pain) to work out, I finally jumped on the bike and took my 6.5 mile ride


and a bee flew in my mouth


Awesome start.


Day 9 of 365!! Echo!


So I'm really into the 70s style..actually I'm really into anything that is anything pre-70s. Why? Cuz I love old clothes (old things...I'm getting used to them...old people..I kid I kid, I like old people when they're nice)

Till next time suckas

Peace

out for the count

Migraine for 6 hours today...totally bogus.

So I'm going to keep this short and sweet since I'm a bit drained aaand I really should finish my laundry and clean my room (that I had to postpone for 6 HOURS..ugh..the weather.)

Oh, before we get down to business, Father's Day pics! 







I was glad that it fit so well (they were actually too big...thank goodness for drawstrings and a tie belt). Aww ain't he cute? I made him pose. 

All right! Day 8 of 365, the lovely Haru!

 


Um...I hate the formatting on here, ah ha ha. Anyways. Yes, she does have correct proportions. But that wont last...sorry I like my 9 head figures (more like 10 ho ho). Also, I like drawing my girls curvy! Gotta represent! Yah kna what I mean??? Heh heh...sure you do.


Till next time suckas

Peace

sometimes i disappoint

I'll admit two things right off the bat.


1. I cannot help but please my friends
2. I have a hard time letting go




Normally, as I've just stated, I don't like to disappoint my friends. Usually it's in fear of losing them or have them angry with me. I also can be a little dramatic (thinking wise...don't get crazy now). So I stretch myself so far out that in the end I'm the one stressed and burnt out. No more. 


I love you San Francisco, but we can't keep doing this. 


....meaning to all those lovely people, you know exactly who you are, that I promised I'd drive up and visit...I cannot.


My priorities are always out of order, and I'm finally getting them straight. NOT saying that you don't mean anything to me, you guys mean ALOT to me...I couldn't have made it through without you...and I'm serious about that


Though saying this, if anyone is willing to meet halfway, I'd be more than happy to see you. But pretty much if you don't live with 2 hours of me...I ain't gonna make it. 


'Dems the breaks <3


Okay, so it's Day 7 of 365 meaning...it's COLORED PICTURE DAY whooo!!




This is a quilt design..a.k.a Chadae is incredibly ambitious (almost too ambitious) and is going to drive herself up the wall making this quilt. It's going to be my first quilt. I didn't put the border around, and the fabric is tentative..but if I can find that black fabric I will be stoooooked.


This is going to be...interesting.


p.s I know I was supposed to put up pics of my dad in his gift. I'll do it tomorrow, promise <3


Till next time suckas


Peace

it's for the fajas

Happy Papa's Day!!!


My dad is awesome, I'm just saying. He's a pretty cool guy, even though he can be incredibly dorky at times (but for real tho)


I finished his gift about an hour ago and had my brother try it on. I must say, it's pretty snazzy. Pictures will be posted tomorrow, since my dad won't be here till late (he has to work EVERY holiday...seriously) soo no pics until he's here. Plus the gift doesn't look good unless it's on a body.


...I made him pajamas <3




Oh and you heard it here second (I posted this on FB last night)...I am moving to Atlanta, Georgia the week after Labor Day  (probably like the next day or two haha). I've never been to Georgia..or for that matter the East Coast besides NYC. It's going to be a great adventure (I am driving cross-country with my two buddies...Miroku and Tsuka) and I'm pretty excited.


Why? I'm going to go to grad school out there.


Again why? California is just not working out..and plus how am I going to let THAT opportunity just slide by. Never...




Ok! Well now that that's all said and done it's time for Day 6 of 365!!! Whoo!!! This is Brigette

She is the only character that I've actually modeled after a real person. Brigette is modeled after a good friend of mine in both personality and looks <3

Hats are difficult...I'll work on that...and my perspective..

COLOR PICTURE TOMORROW whoooooo!! 

Till next time suckas

Peace

I've been sewing all day...so I'm pretty bored and tired. Eh. I want to go out somewhere and have a couple drinks..but alas, I am poor and cannot do so.


I'm beginning to count down the days till I move. Yay.


Day 5 of 365, Makaila



Yay.

I hate when I feel irritated or ungrateful for no reason..haha...tomorrow is another day I suppose <3

Peace
