Sorry for my absence, here is a few things I’ve been working on

Hey my Divas!!

Sorry for the prolonged absence, but school was keeping me busy such as this, “Levi’s 80s jacket knockoff project,” I had to do for Pattern Drafting class. & while I was in Washington DC on Christmas break I did some necklace beading! So I’ve been trying to keep up with being creative & bringing together more fashion to my portfolio. I’ll post more soon, remember to ‘Make It Work’ designers & please ‘Keep It Classy!

San Antonio Faux Pas’: #3 Sagging Pants

Hey divas, so my friend Agatha & I were discussing my blog & she suggested this topic; & I AGREED. Sagging pants is so TRAGIC, less I say more? Well I will, why should I have to see what underwear, boxers, or thong you’re wearing? Its disgusting! Plus its usually paired with some obnoxious sports jersey, an overpriced billed cap & white sneakers; so tasteless, get some better ‘street wear.’ Furthermore, I’ve seen this done with shorts as well, you know the ones that go down to your ankles & provide no relief from the infernal San Antonio heat; what’s the point of that? You could argue its cultural or a style, but overall its not classy & inappropriate. My solution: Get a belt or some proper fitting pants, if you can spend money that ‘epic fail’ of an outfit I’m sure you could purchase proper slacks. The rest of the outfit is a lost cause. Anyway, I’m still looking for more fashion fax pas subjects to exploit here in San Antonio. Also, if you have pictures of said faux pas’ feel free to send them in.  Ok, I’m done with this rant till next time, “Stay Classy San Antonio!” Loves ya divas!

San Antonio Faux Pas’: #2 ‘Walking Shirtless’

Hey divas, so after getting several emails & tweets regarding the last post this topic came up the most, ‘guys walking around with no shirts on.’ Ok I get it, its tragic. So, San Antonio guys why do you all do this? If you don’t have the body for it maybe you should think twice. You could try and argue about the heat, but still its inappropriate. On the the other hand, I also understand that some guys are exercising, but lets be honest; not every one of you is exercising in this infernal heat. So my rule, if you don’t have it, don’t flaunt it; although, I know most of you are delusional & think its sexy. Please stop, you’re creeping people out with your truffle shuffle. In other words, keep it classy & put the beer belly away for the bedroom. On that note, leave in the comments what is another faux pas San Antonio residents seem to do the most. Depending on the number of repeats I’ll create another blog post. Loves ya divas

San Antonio Faux Pas’ : #1 Muffin Top

Hey divas, so I’ve been living in San Antonio, TX now for about 2 years now, & aside from the, “really bleak, not so chic,” style people tend to show off there’s one thing that sticks out the most…Muffin Top!! I know its become a common occurrence in most American towns & cities, but I feel San Antonio exemplifies it the most; like a parade during ‘Fiesta Week.’ For one thing ladies, lets not try to buy a smaller size pant than what we can fit in, as my friend Lissa says, “it’s like squeezing an orange into a banana peel” (visualize that one for a sec), its not flattering…AT ALL. My solution, buy a pair that fits your waist (not the hip) & a fit that isn’t skin-tight on the rest of the leg, like a nice straight leg cut; let’s face it most of you SA girls aren’t exactly on the thin side. I’ve put up with it for awhile now, but with fall fast approaching & it being back-to-school season I felt it needed to be addressed. And on that note I think I’m going to steal a line from Tim Gunn from Project Runway & say, “Make It Work!”

Circus vest for @LittleDickie :p

Hey Divas, so my friend Richard aka “Little Dickie” from Oh Baby Burlesque gave me the task of designing a circus/carnival themed vest and this is what I came up with. The vest is reversible, so he doesn’t have to wear the “same” vest every show & gives him versatility, & stage presence. I also thought  two bow ties would be chic, plus it ties the theme together. Little Dickie said his favorite colors to wear were Black, White, & Red; so I obviously incorporated those colors into the design. I also wanted to add an interesting aspect to the vest & that’s where the contrasting black & white polka dots came into play. I hope Little Dickie loves the vest I designed & his show is a success. Leave me a comment on what you think of the overall concept & if it looks “circus-like” to you.
