reminder to myself and some other things.

i want to make shoes out of laminated cardboard. maybe recreate the mcqueen lobster claw shoes (as worn during the "walk, walk, fashion, baby" segment of bad romance, for those who aren't necessarily in love with mcqueen as i am, or at least something like them. and encrust them with mirrors or broken cups and saucers or something.

i also have a crush on richard avedon. he had cool glasses and took nice pictures of ladies in dresses and american people. i guess he also liked to jump around a lot, which makes me think he would have been a fun guy. he made this commercial for a fabric company and he gets all happy and runs and hugs the model and it is adorable.

it confuses me because on lost there is a character named richard alpert and one named matthew abadon and i mix them up and wonder why they named the immortal guy after a photographer, because philosophers are more their usual style. i am so excited for lost to start. it is bound to be either the most mindblowing or least satisfying final season of a show ever. likely the latter.

we made an installation in the lobby of the fine arts building last night. putting it together was lots of fun, and i'm pretty sure that it's the most invasive thing shown in that space for a long time, if not ever. it's like a huge blanket fort filled with everything. i put some lingerie on the walls and creepy dolls and lady gaga and fabric puffs sewn to the rust-coloured chair. there are marshmallows and crackers hanging from the ceiling and paper craneodactyls that say awkward things to each other and a huge sign that says TOUCH HIS LEG.

midnight fire drills in the rain do not make me happy.

i want a boy who will wear dress shirts tucked in with a nice belt and shoes as an everyday thing, and be able to pull it off. he will like fashion and musical theatre and preferably sing to me. he will like girls. this is a hard boy to find.
