Design & creations, Shopping/fashion19 September, 2007
I often wish I could create watercolor fashion illustrations like these. Then again, I’m too lazy to pick up a pencil, let alone a paint brush. I don’t even bother to use my copic anymore.
“You know the reason Christopher Kane’s dresses are so short?” She asked. “It’s because he’s poor. He can’t afford to waste a single inch of fabric, and everything needs to be mini.” She raised this point during Louise Goldin’s show, when the young designer’s knits barely covered her models’ butts. - Via Fashionista.com
During my fashion school days, the mean girls would predict and make fun of another’s collection for being too sexy and one-dimensional. It’s not because they couldn’t afford the fabric, but their patternmaking and sewing skills were so hopeless, they rather not stray far from their comfort zone.
One ex-classmate is this arrogant beach-bitch who particularly favors ultra mini skirt. She surprised us with a rather voluminous collection comprising of all dresses. It’s only later that we found out her true intentions behind dresses was…
1) All dresses means only 6 pieces in her collection. If one is doing layered separates, they may have to sew up to 16 pieces for their collection (pants, short, tee, shirt, jackets, etc).
2) Her idea of voluminous means Gathers. Cut rectangular pieces, sew a line of elastic through one side. Ta-da!
It goes without saying, many were pissed as hell to find out that beach-bitch was awarded top mark by an incompetent ex-lecturer, for on-time submission. (Duh, so easy to make.)

I have absolutely no idea why The Sis tends to attracts loser-ish male who can’t handle a break up.
They come to my house, beg and cry, often drunk while humiliating themselves. Mr. El Cheapo Namecard is the most recent case.
The Mom just have this knack for seeing through the type of guys we bring home. One from my sis was labeled a Possessive Egoist, the type that wants to hold down the woman’s freedom to learn and excel. I absolutely despise such men - go get a mail order bride and shove her a cheap ring from Taka Jewelry, if you want a woman to bear you children and cook and clean after you.
Mr. El Cheapo Namecard didn’t impress my mum either. She felt that he talks too much for a man, which instantaneously diminishes his charm factor.
“哇，没有见过一个男人比女人更会讲话！”
I doubt my mum would be impressed with the type of men I had dated, but one smart thing on my part, I never bring them home.
