Save the Children- Invisible Children
http://vimeo.com/invisible/kony2012
GET INVOLVED. STOP AT NOTHING. THE WORLD MUST KNOW.
I dare you to stop scrolling through your dashboard. Stop checking your Facebook newsfeed that you’ve already checked two seconds ago. Stop updating your Twitter and seeing what your favorite celebrities are saying. Stop watching funny and nonsense videos on Youtube. Take time to educate yourself to MAKE A DIFFERENCE in this world. This is your chance! WATCH THIS VIDEO.
Let’s make JOSEPH KONY Famous!!!
Who is JOSEPH KONY?
He is THE WORST LIVING CRIMINAL. He abducts children and makes them use guns to kill their own parents. He takes girls and forces them to be sex slaves. He calls his abducted children the Lord’s Resistance Army, AKA the LRA. He has abducted over 30,000 children and forced them to be child soldiers in Central Africa. He remains at large because he is INVISIBLE to the world. FEW know his name, even FEWER know his crimes. WE ARE MAKING HIM FAMOUS! Because when he is, the world will unite against him and demand his arrest.
We can help make a change. We can make a difference.
I feel so inspired. I feel the need to help and make a difference. This has to happen in 2012. We can’t let him go around and keep doing this to children in Central Africa. Let’s make his name known so he can be stopped. HE CAN NO LONGER BE INVISIBLE!

Another Day
Here is today (Saturday the 11th) outfit. Consisting of a striped shirt, and cropped yoga's from Old Navy. My suede orange Birks' and a long black camisole from ASOS Curve! I put some weird "artistic" brush on the photo since it was blurry.
It was a study in the library and water color kind of day so comfort was key. But it was actually lovely outside for once. So Nautical seemed appropriate.
Here are a few of the watercolors I'm practicing on. Some are photo's from Pinterest, others from the magnificently talented paperfashion.net. I own none of the rights to these I was just practicing with them the images originally belong to their owners I've just been practicing coloring them. I wanted to share them with you...
Please remember these are practices. I hope that after a while we can all see improvement in the skills I'm trying to work on.

An Update. Hurray
So Sorry for the lack of posts...anyways.
So There is this thing called Fatshion February where bloggers of all shapes and sizes post an outfit for each day of February. The casual to the spectacular. So I'm doing this, partially drawn and partially photographed. They are quick and are meant to show everyday people. So here we go!
So that's that for now, I'll probably update weekly, and do my best to keep up.
Hope ya'll are well.

All done in graphite pencil and accented with gel pen. These are two of my favorite style bloggers. And a style bloggers lovely pair of shoes. |

A beautiful picture was up on Deviantart.com and I had to try drawing it. Good practice definitely. |
Also I've been a naughty girl and did an ASOS.com haul and got some great pieces I shall be wearing constantly until they are completely and utterly worn out.
I got a pair of orange pants, which I have been obsessively looking for and there is no luck finding none terrible looking orange pants for people over a size 14 so I waited, and ASOS answered my prayers. Orange skinny jeans but beggars can't be choosers. Plus these will go in my boots. Plus I got some really black skinny jeans once again wanted boot cut but again will go great with boots, and then a blowy top to go with them in a neutral tone. I've been wanting the shirt with chair print, but I'm waiting for a sale because a piece of ploy/cotton blend is not worth 63$.
Keep it fierce ya'll
I'll be posting some of the outfits with these pieces soon as soon as they arrive.

I've been rocking my bright orange Goodwill cardigan hard with a simple white dress shirt underneath. It's the easiest thing to pull on and still look like you thought about it that morning. |

Update on Pieces
So here is the promised update on the "Subjective" pieces I've been working on. Also I've included the swatches and colored renderings I did for last quarters Costume Final. I'm not sure if I really like them, but at least they are period accurate in style. Although not accurate in color, which I felt was fine for the purposes I was using it for. The play was A Midsummer's' Nights Dream. Also a quick self portrait I was playing around with. Photo's aren't super great sorry.
Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holidays and a spectacular new years eve. Happy 2012!
and remember.
