One thing I cant complain about with my new job working for the State is the guaranteed holidays off. Three day weekends like this are so foreign, I don’t even know what to do with myself. Since we recently moved to the new townhouse, I was able to go to the storage unit and move over all my old boxes of remnants that have I haven’t seen in the past 5 years, and I keep finding some great little treasures >=] Like this little number, I have had this fabric about at least 7-8 years, It was in the discount rack at Jo-Anns and It had to be mine. The fabric texture reminded me of my mom’s old cheong-sam dresses which I have hoarded and have dug out of the trash all the numerous times she has thrown them out.(IS SHE CRAZY?!) So I decided to just drape this little simple number. I just love the print, I could stare at it forever. I don’t want it to scream cheong-sam dress, so It is still in the works, I am trying to decided how I want to finish everything, so here are some in progress images for you:

Adri is sexy ^_~ Adriana used to be on Fusion with me back in college(eew, the way I just said that made me feel old). I always enjoy doing pieces more for show, costumes, dance etc. I feel like you just get to work with a wider range of mediums. I linked up with Mambo Dinamico through Adriana last year and was thrilled with working with Betto and the crew. What can I say, I will always have a soft spot for my latin side(nope, don’t have a single drop of latin blood in me, but I can dream I’m back in Buenos Aires anyday). I enjoy working with their group because they give me a lot of creative freedom. The first dance I had to design for was for what Betto called “The Break Up” Dance(a.k.a the night after a one night stand, oh me oh my). Here are some in-progress shots I recently found on my computer. Thanks Betto for giving a chance to work with them! I can’t wait to work on more.
