Bold, perhaps even terrifying fashion statements from South Africa.

I must shamefully admit that I find almost all of these pretty awesome even though some are pretty downright awful. The awfulness appeals to me somehow.

Though it's not as if I'm one to talk anyhow. My wardrobe is shifting closer and closer to something between 'crunchy woodland elf' and 'circus performer'.

Funky Art

*sigh* I've been in kind of a strange art funk since I returned from Burning Man. I've been doing quick sketches at lunch but nothing that feels very important or meaningful. It's just lightweight exercise. At home I've mostly been working on finishing up a few odds and ends sewing projects and some of them have been pretty neat but again it's nothing spectacular. There are a couple of problems rolled together here.

( Cut for a big chunk of navel gazing. )

The concise summary of my problems is this:

Who am I and how do I want to express myself?

Seems like this would be easier.


Somehow related to this is my complete inability to come up with a good idea for a costume for Halloween. I'm always wearing 'costumes' how do I make something _feel_ like a costume to me? Challenging problem.
