Ehem!

So I’m getting bad at posting in my blog haha. I get these weeks where I don’t feel like talking about anything in life, it’s been kind of a bummer lately.

So the Lady Gaga thing went extremely well! She’s actually so awesome. She loved everything we put her in and put them as priority, even random shoes I brought even though hers were designer and nicer. I can’t wait to see photosss.

I made my production schedule for the next 4 months, I thought perhaps things would slow down next year but no, they are even more intense =/ One of my biggest goals in life is happening right now. I gotta get my permanent collections ready and open my online shop by the end of March. There is no way to do it later then that either. I have fashion week in April and I would like to just put in what I have done for my online shop so I don’t have to worry about all that stuff. Then after fashion week I have Animethon to worry about!! So yeah there is no way I can move anything around.

There’s also the graffiti corsets collection I have to do before March as well. So that’s around 35 corsets by March. eep. That doesn’t include the matching garments I want to put in my shop either. ehh.

I’m glad I got my part time job. Things money wise will be a little less stressful once I get my first pay check. I think I’ll try to find a better paying part time job while I’m there, I would like to afford to pay someone to help me sew things hehe. The job is also helping me not be so couped up and pull me into society again. The first day back i was such a wreck and was so wierd. But I’m getting better and I’m starting to act a litle less nutty haha =)

doooop

another layout http://fan.candy-tofu.net/strawberry. Those girls are so cute =]

I finally found a good simple contact management program, things like this excite me haha. Now I don’t have to rely on my cell phone for my contacts. And it’s better organized *__*

The outfit I’m making for Lady Gaga is turning out great. The corset is just about done. The rest of the outfit I have an idea of what to do, hopefully it all turns out good. *nervous*

I’m dressing celebritiezz

I just got some awesome news, the local magazine Parlour is interviewing Lady Gaga the night she is coming to Edmonton for a concert. I get to dress her! I’m going to make a whole outfit for her for the front cover, this is freaking sweeet!!!

Halloween was pretty sweet. My costume was a hit.

November is hereee, I have so much stuff to do. I gotta work my butt off now. Theres Royal Bison, the table skirt sample, and I have to crank out some kashvenoms corsets. Royal Bison should be priority or else I won’t have much stock for my table! I gotta contact these couple of girls that want to intern with me hehe.

another new site

This is the third layout I made for Jessica haha. JessicaHalabi.com. I really like it. Nice and simple, it was really quick to script too. The other versions were all not the best, and she kept needing things changed, so I made this one. Hopefully she’s happy with it.

These two days were nice, just chilling time at home with my sistaa. Tonight I’m going over to my friends place for some potluck and German bubbly. sweeet.

Winter is coming

The first snow happened yesterday, in addition to the insane wind storm we had. I’m excited for the snow but not the blistering cold that comes with it. Edmonton winters are lamee. I skipped out on most of the winter last season cause i was in Vietnam, I’m sad I have to go through this whole winter this year. I remember the day before leaving to ‘nam there was one of the craziest snow storms ever and I was on the opposite side of the city trying to get ahold of a cab. Not fun! Trotting through snow up to my waist and walking through roads with cars cause the sidewalks were all covered wasn’t fun. And ohhh the hiking across snow covered fields… I’m shivering just thinking about it =( i definitely got a shock to my system from being in that weather to 40 degree weather the next day haha. No happy medium.

I gotta get going on transferring this blog to my personal domain and changing up the layout. I’m too laazy but i’m sick of this layout. I think I’ll make a layout base then script it later.

Halloween is in 5 days! I’m sooo excited. My costume is still unfinished but I’ll work on it the next few days to make sure it’s done. If I don’t get it done on time I have lots of backups haha.

Coffee is not my friend

So I went to a business seminar at the BusinessLink today. I needed to freshen my small business knowledge and get some good hints cause it’s my main focus by the new year. I think I’ll go to more of these seminars, they are kinda inspirational and a good way to network.

This was the first time I was put in a class situation since fashion school so I was hoping my bad attention span for anything school related wasn’t going to interfere. Well it slightly did, it was hard to digest what the speaker was telling me haha. I noticed that everyone was drinking the free coffee so i got some on the break.

I don’t drink coffee at all so I didn’t know what to do. I put some in the cup and got a couple sugars. I always hear people getting two sugars for coffee or something haha. So I poured them in. The thing I forgot to take in consideration is how much coffee I put in the cup haha. There was barely half a cups worth and I put too much sugar in it. Mann it was sweet. So that just got me all fidgetty and wired for the last hour and a half of that class. No good! I felt like going for a run around the block after the seminar was over. What a noob!!

interviewed today

So I got interviewed today for the newswatch website. This is the first time getting a filmed interview done. I am a very random and silly person so it was very hard to keep my cool haha. The interviewer is a sister of a friend, and she was really sweet. I hope the interview will be good. She said she was going to edit it so it’s 45 seconds long so that should be perfect haha. I trust that it won’t show me to be that crazy. Maybe just a little. I don’t want to do filmed interviews anymore, too stressful ahaha.

Woohoo

Oohh exciting. I don’t have to look for a part time job anymore. I did table skirts for this lady a year ago and made sweeet cash from it, and she called me again to make more! This is the best news this month. I can finally buy myself a dress form and materials for my standard corset line wooo. This will help me with my goals for the coming year for sure. Ahhh lovely.

I’ve been getting a nice flow of orders coming in =) I hope it keeps going, I can’t wait til I get a consistent flow so I can make this an actual job hahaha.

The glitter party over the weekend was nice, got to meet some really cool people. And I scored a set of new glitter for myself =9 I got 24 colours now. And I still have a bunch on my wish list.

I just got some applique for some standard corsets I’m making, I can’t wait to work on them. They are going to be soo cute.

Life feels awesome right now ;b
