Happy Merdeka in advance people!
I won't be on the net for a while... leaving for Singapore for some business opportunity :)
I've never been much of a nationalist anyway

Finally!
Check out the Otakuzone, The Star today...albeit some short quotes..
"I am a nocturnal creature" The way they put it makes me sound off, can't they put it like "loves the night life?" Anyway..what's done is done.
They had to put the photo with the dented dimple...

You can't really see it though.
Wanted to dye my hair green, booked an appointment at Wings Salon, whose owner is Vinxx. (Gee, how creative can they get already?)
Mother threw a hissy fit on why I should go back to my old hairstylist in Kajang who's been doing my hair since 10. So to appease her, I went along with her about 2 hours before my appointment time.
Not that I have anything against her, but something tells me that a home-operating hairstylist whose customers mostly compromise of old aunties & homemakers would not have the colour I want.

Parked outside her house. Heart beating fast
Went into the hairstyling room anticipation,
fear
"Do you have this colour?" The moment of life &
death
"Nah, it's not popular in my salon.." Victory!!!
Quick! Hide that triumphant smile before she sees it!
Oh, no...too late. She caught it. Wow, what a scowl.
:P

3rd time's the charm
1st call to One-Stop Party Shop
"No, we don't have it, sorry"
2nd call to CostumesNparties
"Oh, we don't have that"
3rd call to Century Fiesta
"Only for rent, RM15 with a RM60 deposit"
Desa Sri Hartamas, here I come for my ears!
My best friend trouble
I'm sorry Rachel, it was my fault. You did not gain weight. It was what exactly I told you. I believe that every incident has a reason. If it wasn't for this, the corset wouldn't have had that unique gold fastening. If my dad didn't send me to the wrong church, I wouldn't have gotten the brilliant belt turned choker. So thank you Rachel, you were excellent.
The outfit is almost completed; I just have to decorate it with ribbons, lace & all sorts of thinkamagiks. The only problem I'm having with it is how to make an alternative fastening at the back of the corset. Because (the model put on weight) I sewn the fabric on the expandable part of the corset, it wasn't able to stretch fully & now I have to make a makeshift shoelace like fastening to hold it so it wouldn't drop.
Alright! So I'm angry that it didn't fit her. On the fitting day, I just told her what I typed on the top to appease her clueless ness on why it didn't fit her like it did before. When I got home, I realized how tough it is to change the corset & smsed her to try to control her body for this week...perhaps on a quick diet. At first, she agreed to it. Later she changed her mind & kept repeating this line:
"I DID NOT PUT ON WEIGHT"
Someone got smart & added later what I told her earlier. Hello, I only told you that because I did not want to hurt anyone's feelings because we were going to have a video shoot of the fitting, I didn't want my words to affect your performance. Not that it was any good anyway, when Bill says to walk more girly, you don't become more wooden than you already are. Heck, he walks better than you!

She even had the cheek to tell me to just make the corset fit her. Wow, now that's a model in the making, not even one yet & she's starting to act like a stereotype. Hah, she's lucky she's stuck with me, otherwise any other designer would have dropped Miss Princess & her annoying bf who keeps asking "Does it hurt?" when I was being as careful as possible while pinning the corset on her.
(Have I told you yet? They come in a package)
On another note, I'm still looking for my Legolas ears. I've been trying to call a few numbers Spannerworks Event Company provided me with but still no answer. I hope I can get a cheap pair, I think I already overblown my budget...sigh..any ideas where I can get one cheap for sale/rent?

Too many Did nots
I've been busy for the past week... too many unfortunate events happening..so I'll just do it like the Nintendo DS Pokemon Pearl Journal style (Get the DS, it's so damn fun you won't wanna take your hands off it..for real =P)
Wed, 8 Aug - Tried the RKL Express bus, Back to Kajang to get pastels from Helen, Missed my moral quiz while using the bus...(NEVER AGAIN unless unnessasary)
Thurs, 9 Aug - Started my 4 day part time job selling GPS systems at MAPA, Sold my 1st (& last) unit
Fri, 10 Aug - Did not sell any units. Found out classmate has succeeded into pursuading another guy to be the transport for our before-2nd-sem-starts-last-trip...(Future post perhaps? )
Sat, 11 Aug - Did not sleep the whole night, came to job sick, did not finish resketch of design, corset did not fit model, model DID NOT watch her body, michelle DID NOT keep her cool, michelle DID NOT have a good day.
Sun, 12 Aug - Went to church late, got a job offer to Singapore from boss & a chance to work from home later, did not sell any units, got threatened by a useless bastard (c'mon, I'm just a part-timer, what do I know bout the rules & politics of event management?) Found out that part-time crush is married (Ooh, that's too bad..haha), went back to a screaming banshee, thought of someone (no, not that one), and had the best sleep in days!
Mon, 13 Aug - Back to see the tailor in Kajang, used the slow buses again=4 hours spent travelling, trip to The Curve cancelled, stepped into cement, tore my jeans, & overusing my computer hours (again)

Redo! Redo! Redo!
Shit! I made a silly miscalculation on the pleats for the top..they don't exactly look 'eye pleasing'. So I picked at everything to start over. And to think that I wanted to mix batik material with the blue silk thing I found...oh gosh...
I HAVE to keep reminding myself that:
LESS IS EVERYTHING

First fitting
I grilled the sewing machine just minutes before I departed to FACT again...& what a disappointment..it seems that's I'm the only one who's got more than 50% of my garment completed. Well, there was this other girl..who had to change the whole colour of her outfit....
They had the whole tv crew from AXN/Animax come over to do interviews & walkthroughs ala Project Runway with Bill Keith acting as Tim Gunn of some sort..that guy's hilarious..we all know he sways the other way, so he used that to bully the cameraman...but I don't think that's appropriate for national TV..haha, but you should have been there..
Sneak preview of my design
I wanted to use umbrella spokes in the design, but Bill said since my outfit is already feminine, well, he just doesn't want Rachel to look like an insect. Oh, have I mentioned? Rachel, my model is the daughter of Lewre owner! Woohoo! Free shoes!
I made a few friends... most of them are fashion students... well, I thank them for being extremely patient with this noob in fashion. One taught me how to do a choker..another cute guy taught me how to do ruffles. He's so cute! Well, Bill puts on mascara but this one looks much better with it, you could just pinch his cheeks...I envy him, he's so natural on camera. I can't..I become a bit woody, like Daniel Radcliffe's or Keanu's.
By the way, you can still vote for my design..3RD Row, 3RD column..just register once, & vote for me! Well...they said you can vote only once, but I've tried the system & I've already voted 3 times for myself..(hehehehe, kiasuness)

Bothways halfway done
Why am I here? I've got a visit from Mr. Procrastinator again.
I got the skirt...the petals look a bit..too curly..had to iron them down. I guess it's my fault that I told her to sew the edges like a tudung...so everything curled inwards..other than that, it looks lovely. Too girly in fact, I had to change the whole outlook from Gothic Lolita to kawaii- impish girl..sigh..
I'm working on the top...I tried to take the shortcut way by folding all the cloth like a fan and sew it directly on the corset..but I got stopped in time by my mother...Oh well...we'll see what I can come up with in 15 hours flat. First fitting's at 2pm..and I'll be making another trip to Kamdar first thing in the morning to get some more tulle, organza, silk & chiffon.

Oh JOY!
Alright! My design has been posted up on the website!
http://www.animax-asia.com/fashion%2Dability/vote-step1.asp
Click on the link to see it! The 3RD ROW, 3RD COLUMN! The one with the orange hair, blue butterfly top, & the purple petal skirt!
Well, I managed to get a sari seamstress to make the puffed out skirt for me, since she had some experience in making concert outfits for kindergarden kids...like a Spanish Flamenco dress.
I'm doing the top myself, with mixtures of batik, feathers..all sorts of stuff...It's gonna be much more complicated than the drawing you see at the website....more gothic. Anyway, spare some time to register once & vote for me =)
Come give your support at the event 18th August at OU 2pm-8pm to see my creation come alive! MUAHAHAHAHA~ =P
