today.

so today i participated in this “project runway” for my school’s renaissance rally. the rally theme was reality tv, so they had a “project renaissance” for us. there were six contestants, including myself, and we had fourty-five minutes to make an outfit out of scratch (like on project runway!). it was actually really ridiculous. we had to supply our own fabric and people even brought in sewing machines! the only thing i brought in was a glue gun, fabric, shoes, and leggings. i think i did a pretty decent job for the “fourty-five” minutes we were given… but i think the other contestants did a lot better than me. so i guess you could say that i was pretty freaking surprised when i found out i had won! but yeah, i did. and i burned my hands about five times just to get that prize too, so i guess i’m happy i won. I’m going to get two tickets to senior ball, which I’m going to exchange for $70 :) ahhh, i’d go into the details of the whole thing, but i’m kind of tired. just know.. that i used a lot of staples to put that dress together and a lot of hot glue gunning. no sewing at all! hah, how lame, i know! i had also forgotten to measure her (my friend mai’s) booty so there was a big upside down V in the back of her butt, because there wasn’t enough fabric to cover it. haha. it was sexy though. and although I don’t think my outfit was the best, i know it looks better in person, than it does in these pictures. i had a jump rope, two pieces of ribbons, and artificial flowers that I had to incorporate into my dress… hopefully you can see that in there. i did such a bad job, really. that dress was falling off of mai. lol. but i let her keep it, since she liked it so much.

we went to this french film festival on a fieldtrip last thursday and watched this movie called L’esquive. i thought it was a pretty good movie, but a lot of people didn’t like it. i liked the fact that it showed me a whole entire side of france and french culture i had never even really thought about! but i guess some people didn't find it too appealing. it was different. today i found out from melanie though, that it’s won about twelve awards in france! and that kinda blew my mind, although it didn't, all at the same time. (haha, i just checked youtube, and they actually have the whole movie up.)

well, before the movie actually started, there were these two cute short films. I really liked this one called Clik Clak. I didn’t really understand it… but it was cute and sad. this one i found on youtube is in english, so maybe you'll get it better than i did the first time.

today is, my mother's birthday.
happy birthday mom! today is my half birthday.
today is my second month anniversary.

JUNIOR PROM (part two)

i don't understand why everyone have go to junior prom with a date. i mean, do you really have to? well yes, of course you "have" to, since its traditional... but you can always just go in a group, like what everyone always does with every other dance out there that isnt Junior Prom of Senior Ball. but, oh well. i know that i just don't truly fully understand, because i've already had my junior prom date set since halloween.

the other day i was watching PROJECT RUNWAY-- and it was the episode where the designers were assigned to sixteen/seventeen year olds who were going to their junior prom. (sometimes, i really just don't like the clothes project runway designers comes up with. but usually i do. i guess i just don't watch the show enough. although i do like victoria and that guy with the scenester-emo look, for some odd reason.) but yeah, victoria won the challenge. i liked her dress the most anyways. it's the first one that's blue. i thought it was super cute. and even though it was a pretty normal dress you could probably find at f21 or something, i thought it had a little pizazz the rest of the dresses didn't have!

i found this cute place where it shows you how to get the "winning look."

as for myself however... i have no idea what i want as a junior prom dress :[] i need to go shopping. but i wasn't really thinking about spending big bucks on anything. from the start, i was thinking about just doing some fancy thrifting around midtown or downtown, in little random shops. i'm not sure when i'm going to be able to get time to do that... so, i won't be surprised if i end up just buying a dress from the mall or something. but i don't think that's bad either. i just hate how freaking expensive all of this Junior Prom stuff is going to be. oh boy, let's just see how my parents are going to react.

i thought this dress was cute, but it's over $300. and i'm also very short, so i doubt long dresses will work for me :[] i don't really like the color either! i don't want a black dress for JP, unless it's super crazy and i love it. i was thinking something more like yellow... or pink.. or purple/blue, depending on the tones :) ahh, i'm just excited, really. i should go look for dresses online right now! but i actually have a lot of homework to do. and i shouldn't even be blogging right now! well, once i get my dress, i will post it up, of course! or maybe, i won't. i'll just save pictures for my actual PROM NIGHT!
