Volume 1, Issue 62, April 24, 2010: Portfolio In Motion "All Doll'd Up" 2010

My university's fashion department puts on an annual fashion show ran by the students called Portfolio in Motion. I was a backstage volunteer and a dresser. Even though I didn't get to actually see the fashion show live I was backstage to see all the wonderful garments that my fellow classmates made.During the planning of the fashion show, students pick a designer as special guest and as the designer of the year to be honored at our fashion show.

 
This year it was Isabel Toledo, the famous Cuban-American designer who created Michelle Obama's lime green Ingauration dress. Also with Isabel, she brought her wonderful illustrator husband Ruben Toledo. He has drawn many designs and sketches for Vogue and also for Isabel. They had came backstage on the first night of the show to see the models and designs, but as usual everyone crowded the door and I wasn't able to sneak a picture with them.

But the next day before the second show, I got my second chance to actually see them. Isabel and Ruben had a special presentation for Fashion, Art, and Graphic designs students in the auditorium, it was basically a timeline of their work and history in the industry. I enjoyed the presentation very much and it inspired me to never give up on my ideas, dreams, or my desires. Also, it made me really happy for Isabel and Ruben that they found each other, they have the most beautiful relationship and I hope to find a wonderful guy like Ruben who can be supportive of me, my career and to be my partner in crime.

Volume 1, Issue 61, April 19, 2010: Top 5 Reasons Why Prom Is Overrated

When I was in high school I knew Prom was retarded. It amazes me that some people think that their Senior Prom and high school is the highlight of their entire lives. I never thought Prom was important, at first I didn't want to go because it's basically dressing up in nice dresses that all look the same, with semi-drunk people and just annoying and vapid people who actually care about being the Prom King or King of a lame ass American high school. I didn't give a shit about prom than and I still don't. Here are my top reasons why I think that prom is stupid:

5. It's a high school dance. Why do people seriously think that high school is a big deal? It's not even the tip of the iceberg for me. High school was only four years of unnecessary drama, ugly girls who thought they were beauty queens and just bitchassness. People who are always trying to live up to their high school days and seem to always talk about how they were the most popular, Prom Queen, the star quarterback have no lives what so ever. Guess what, college is way better and no one gives a rat's ass if you were the all that shit back in high school.

Several trannies who I went to TC with me wore fugly dresses that matched their fugly faces such as this hot pink atrocity shown above.

4.Everyone Has The Same Dress. Everyone always gets the same dress that has their back out and it's in some atrocious polyester fabric. I don't know why some people act as if they are in a fashion show because most of the prom dresses worn by you average bitchy high school girl can be found on the racks of your local Nordstroms or Macy's.

3. People Make A Big Deal If You Don't Have A Prom Date. Originally, I had a date, my psycho ex-boyfriend but he had took away my prom ticket and gave it to some skank he cheated on me with and sired a love child with. So my friend gave me an extra ticket and I Just hung out with good friends. Why do I need to have an immature man-child as a prom date? What's the point I would rather just party it up with my friends.

2. Spending Thousands of Dollars On Riduclous Things. What's the point of a party bus or limo full of douches that you will never see in another 10 years? What's so great about drinking in a lame hotel room? In college some people I know get their drink on every weekend.

1. The Popularity Contest. It's laughable how people in my high school took Prom votes more seriously than the Presidental elections. All you get is a title and a cheap crown and it doesn't make you anything after high school. The prom queen of my school looks like a coke whore now.

Volume 1, Issue 60, Friday, April 16, 2010: Pictures From Great Falls

I went Great Falls, VA a couple of weeks ago to get a little hiking, nature and some shells. Great Falls is located a couple of miles north of DC and there are two sides to the park, one side is for Virginia and the other side is for Maryland. The Potomac River is the great divider between the park. It's a really great park if you love exploring, hiking, and water rafting. There are also tons of snakes there, but most of them are not venomous. Snakes with venom are closer into the water and deeper inside the park. Most of the pictures were taken by Tenesa and Audrey and they are beautiful.

 

Volume 1, Issue 59, April 9, 2010: It's Been So Long

I miss blogging and ranting!!!!!!!!!!!! It's been too long since I had a nice entry about life and all its randomness. But I'm so busy with this semester. It's been kicking my ass for the last couple of weeks. I can't focus and I feel drained of all life and energy. It's been really hard for me to complete my school work because I'm ready for this semester to be over. UGH!!!! The weather makes it worst. I hate when it's beautiful outside and you're stuck inside doing a 10 page essay. FML!!!!
