Rambling to myself

ACEO:

I’m so wimpy about cold weather…..it’s about 30 degrees for the high in Indy and it’s upper 50’s here in Charlotte….and I’m STILL freezing my tush off! :P

I’ve meant to blog over the past couple of days but the days have really flown by since last Wednesday.

I have to start with my thoughts on the finale of PR….I was really pleasantly surprised with the ending. I was not really rooting for Jeffrey (the winner) at all, but ended up being pretty happy for him. When the runway shows were finally televised, it was Uli that I was swept away by!…..Her style was really refined but with her sense of whimsy and flare for color. I thought I would have been rooting for Laura but it really was kind of a let down….mind you I’d wear her stuff in a minute….but in the spirit of what Project Runway is about “finding the new American fashion designer” her pieces were awesome, but they were not totally innovative. Michael, was a complete let down….but he’s still going to be a huge success. Anyway, those are my thoughts. I’m counting the days til the next season is here….but I have a feeling that will be a loooong way aways. Now, I’m stuck with America’s Next Top Model for my fashion inspiration.

Last weekend was kind of a bust in that we were supposed to go to the Martinsville race with pit and garage passes, but our connection fell through….I guess you have to be approved by NASCAR 14 days in advance of the race to have those kinds of credentials….they even do some sort of a background check for security purposes ala life after 9-eleven. I’m not a huge NASCAR fan myself, but going to Martinsville, Virginia would have been a fun experience!

So, instead we did some mini road trips around rural Charlotte and ran into another LAME flea market. What the heck is up with this state??? I thought for sure I would run into junk yard heaven here because of all the farmland and old homes around. UGH….that’s one thing I’m missing about Indy is my old thrift store, junk store and flea market haunts!

I doodled a lot too and ended up creating something in the ACEO format I liked enough to put up for
  • auction
  • tonight. I had a hard time putting a title to it….hopefully this one will sell for a higher amount than the last one! I’m beginning to wonder how I’m going to pull off being a full time artist….

    I agree with you regarding PR's runway show. The past two seasons we have seen some awesome collections. This season it seemed everyone had their own niche and stuck to their guns. I would have liked to have seen Laura go out of her comfort zone as well as Michael. I didn't know what to expect from Jeffery. I was pleasantly surprise he did not go rock n' roll on us.

    There is nothing better than NASCAR in the South! BBQ heaven!

    I felt the same way about PR. I actually ended up unexpectedly happy for Jeffrey and a bit let down with Laura, even though her clothes are undoubtedly beautiful. Uli made the biggest changes while keeping her core style. I loved that she felt 2nd place was where she'd rather be. I can totally understand that.

    I found you in a roundabout..this blog to that blog to that one...kind of way. I love your art (especially those eyes!) and it's fun to find someone so close to my home..I'm in Roanoke, Virginia.

    I'll definitely be back.

    arghhh you mean Jeffrey won?!? i'm usually careful to not read info thats ahead of me but you caught me off guard. Gawd we are soooo far behind in Canada, i just saw the 4 of them being chosen last night to go to Fashion week. Well, ummmm...uhhh..
    geeze dont know really what to say i'm so surprised. I really actually liked Jeffreys stuff well enough but then i did also like Uli's most of the time. Michael was wayyy ahead of all the rest for a while but then he layed down and died or something on the last few projects. Laura, well lets face it - fashion is for the very young and she did old stuff(repeatedly) I never did quite get her; i mean is she some kind of rich lady who pumps out kids that she dosnt want for a sugar-daddy or what? Just as in Americas next Top Model i think its personality that goes the farthest and thats a proven fact over and over in every series and thats why Jeffery won.
    Having said that tho - hey, why didnt Santino win??
