A slow down

ok, so this week has been pretty busy, not as bad as orginally thought as I changed some plans to better accomdate some time. For instance, now that menswear is done we are starting on Childrenswear, which believe it or not I am actually pretty excited for! I've got my inspiration and ideas I just have to put it together. My inspiration is (get ready for it...) FRUITS BASKET! Yes, the japenese anime series that I started in high school has made its revival back into my life. The cutness of the characters and the fantastical story line really get to me and I think it would be perfect and bright and cute for children. The line will be entitled "Furuba" which is the shortened name for Fruits Basket used in Japan. It will be alot of pastels and pinks whoo! Something new! It's funny that I realize menswear is not my forte but the women's wear I do usually isn't very girly either,hahah, and I fall between the cracks again. Anyways back to what I was orginally saying is that I wanted to take an early bus home on Tuesday for Thanksgiving but thanks to this new project being due that day and work it would just be too much hassle to shove it all in, so I decided to take the later bus and give myself a little break (not much of one but I can have four extra days to work on the project if I had taken the other route). I'm still decideding whether to concentrate in Design or Development, it's really only a difference of a couple classes so it's not a big deal or anything but I should decide that soon because it will help decide where I go for an internship too. I've been thinking a lot lately about doing theatrical design which means hopefully I can intern at a theatre (or for the movie in L.A.!)which brought me to another thought that if my life needed me to move to New York or California I think I would do it. Which brought me a realization, most of my life has been "I'll never do that!" When it comes down to it though I am the biggest hypocrite because I said I'd never wear jeans again and now that's almost all I wear, and I have a pair of slip on tennis shoes (sketchers!) which I thought I'd never own. The thing to look at here isn't my hipocracy but that you never know where life will take you and if you'll like it or not. The only thing to do is try, try, try until you get it right, now you might be thinking for saying this I'm an even bigger hypcrite will I do try but the other important thing I think is to NOT FORCE TRYING. If you start to force your life you'll just be unhappy and confused to as why. When you're ready and life gives you the option I think there's no reason to back down except cowardness. But it's like math if one or both the components are missing it doesn't work. So my advice to everyone, keep your head up, eyes open, walk forward, and life will give you the option to succeed if you see it and you want it, take it. If not, keep in my that there was a reason you passed something by, even if that very same thing works out for someone else, there is something better for you coming. (speaks the hypocrite).

Speaking of Menswear here are some flats from my project (the crouqis(apparel term for drawn models) were pretty fucking hideous so I'm leaving those out
