LA fashion week fall 2011












LA fashion week isn't exactly like NY fashion week. Smaller designers participate. Making for eccentric nights like this. At the Ace gallery a few designers had rooms/galleries set up like vignettes with little peekaboo's to they're lines. I loved the antlers in the model's hair in the first photo. I think I must attempt this on my next model victim.

Stabbed red velvet cupcakes
Made these mini knifes out of gum paste. Think adult edible play dough. I bought mine and dyed it myself using Wilton products.

    The characteristics of #3 are: Expression, verbalization, socialization, the arts, the joy of living.
    The expression or destiny for #3:
    An Expression of 3 produces a quest for destiny with words along a variety of lines that may include writing, speaking, singing, acting or teaching; our entertainers, writers, litigators, teachers, salesmen, and composers. You also have the destiny to sell yourself or sell just about any product that comes along. You are imaginative in your presentation, and you may have creative talents in the arts, although these are more likely to be latent. You are an optimistic person that seems ever enthusiastic about life and living. You are friendly, loving and social, and people like you because you are charming and such a good conversationalist. Your ability to communicate may often inspire others. It is your role in life to inspire and motivate; to raise the spirits of those around you.
    The negative side of number 3 Expression is superficiality. You may tend to scatter your forces and simply be too easygoing. It is advisable for the negative 3 to avoid dwelling on trivial matters, especially gossip.

    Monetary inspiration

    This story of living on $20,000 a year is inspiring to me. Its the way of the world at the moment. All of us that are slaves to fashion should read this. Buy less and really live in our favorite pieces. Spend a little more on ONE pair of shoes if they would get you threw two seasons and you don't have to buy another.
