It's wearable, and it's art, I suppose

It seems a pity to start posting on the highest point of my life. No one's going to tune in ever again. But I'm going to have to. Today I installed my wearable arts display window in this shop, it's pretty high profile but not SO high profile that drunk people will walk past it on their way home and piss on it or something. So yeah. That's quite pleasing. Putting it on the mannequin was a challenging experience, as she is a foot taller than me and can't bend her limbs and can't stand up on her own.

Now that I think about it, it was totally like that scene in Sleepover where they had to dress the mannequins in their clothes and it was toatz mayhem l0l. I should really have frozen in the window as a hilarious practical joke to passers by but people lurking in Wellington at 9am on a monday morning aren't what is considered a great audience. Although I suppose there's no such thing as a good audience for that kind of thing. 

I wish I was Alexa Vega. I heard she has the lunch spot by the fountains.

So anyway that's my fabrics school work done for the year, it's pretty crazy to think of it as how it started, bits of plastic and paper and sleeve head wadding (which doesn't sound very impressive because no one knows what the fuck that even is)

For the record, it's kind of like shoulder pads in strips.
Speaking of shoulder pads, I'd totally wear those ones the mannequin is wearing. Why the fuck not.

(Summing up my fashion sense in four words, right there. Stay tuned for more updates from the world of Tess "Haha-You-Can't-Trick-Me-I-Know-About-Cyber-Safety-Last-Name")

And when I say "cyber safety" I mean "let's not let my parents find this blog while they idly google my name"
