    A good story should provoke discussion,
    debate, argument...and the occasional
    bar fight.

    ..:Creativity and Crazies:..

    Well, the show is finally over.

    3 days setting up, 11 days of the show and one nights tear down later I am fully convinced of something I had always suspected in life:

    The more creative and productive an artist is, the more Batshit-Crazy they are in reality.

    No. really.

    On the other hand, bought some fun christmas presents for people, spent the show wearing some brilliant clothes, got some great new ideas that I want to try out, got a few dates out of it all, and, of course, the highlight of the show?

    I spent the last day of it wearing hammer pants and convinced 3 people to try on a pair and do the dance with me.

    An extensive music collection, boredom and portable media are very very dangerous things indeed.

    I also convinced the moster factory man that I needed my own monster as there wasn't one that really suited me yet, he promised to correct that grevious error immediately.

    Am looking forward to next years show indeed.

    ..:Sorting and Stock:..

    Spent the day up at AT's studio, literally spent the whole day sorting through stock and trying to correct almost a years worth of scatterbrained behaviour on AT's part.

    Grr.

    Serioiusly, we tallied all the hours we've spent just sorting and doing inventory and such, and if A had just kept up with inventory along the year, she would have saved us 2 days worth of work.

    Again, grr.

    And back again in the morning for the show setup and getting the booth all put together.

    This is gonna be a LOOOONG week.

    ..:Birthdays and Bodies:..

    Went to the Science Center today for my little sis's 20th birthday. Congrats B, you're officially a real person once again.

    Saw the body worlds exhibit. Fascinating, disgusting and horrifyingly beautiful all at once. They really did do some incredible work with the presentation... The bodies seemed to be predominately males, with the most recent exhibit featuring more women. I wonder what inspired the men to donate their bodies first and the women second? Natural modesty? Worried about what an "artistic" presentation of deceased human bodies would entail?

    All in all the exhibit was really amazing, very glad I actually got a chance to see it this time around, and spent the day with the whole family. Whom, after going to the science center, spent lunch and the ride home debating such a wide variety of subjects that I was really stunned by how different and yet similar all my siblings are. I LOVE that about my family!!

    I really do believe that the science center is one of the best things in the world to take a kid to, and I'm happy to see that it's still doing so well. Honestly, I've gone probably more than a dozen times and yet I STILL spent six hours in there today and was yet to be bored. So very cool.

    Am still working on getting everything set up for AT for the One of a Kind show. Will be crashing at Tiff's for 2 weeks while I work down there, gotta love friends with free couches and an understanding nature! Shall have to see about picking up something cool for her at the show, they always have SOMETHING that jumps out at me for everyone.

    Unfortunately this weekend has also brought about the release of the next installation of the cinematic tragedy known as Twilight. Which means that the next few weeks shall bring scores of small, not terribly intelligent tweens looking for sparkly T-shirts with vampires and Edward written all over them.

    What fun.

    Ah well, shall spend tomorrow up at AT's studio working on tagging all the stuff for the show and hopefully talking Gracie into giving me a new haircut or at least a trim.... am debating whether or not to go purple again for a few months... might be a bit of fun for the Christmas season...

    ..:Onsies and One of a Kinds:..

    Am sitting at home on a lazy saturday night. Just got back in from having a drink with Gilly in the backyard. It's incredibly foggy out and all of outside is all soft edges and eddies of mist.

    Last few weeks have been pretty fun. Had my brothers birthday party (ended in said brother running around in a batman onesie. Don't ask.) Spent a few days up in Caledon with my parents and sister, and got hired on to do the one of a kind show with Annnie Thompson.

    Annie is an amazingly talented designer whose clothes run more to women of a more... rounded figure than most fashion and are actually very flattering. And I get to spend the whole show while I'm working WEARING the clothing as a kind of a walking billboard.

    This is gonna be a blast.


    In the meantime, I'm gonna grab a cat, a sibling and a fresh glass of wine and see about watching a movie. I love Saturdays.
    Next week I'm headed out to see the Tut exhibit at the ROM, the BodyWorlds exhibit at the science centre and the Star Wars concert at the ACC as a gift from Tiff.

    This is gonna be a good damn month.
