i broke my cherry yesterday

and made my very first etsy purchase! it was just a couple of yards of amy butler fabric but the whole process was quite exhilarating. i convo'd the seller for a special order and they replied immediately and posted my listing. while i'm waiting for it to arrive i'm alredy ready to make another purchase! the fabric is a part of my very first amy atlas-inspired food display for my alumnae group's annual pre-freshman tea next sunday. if i get some good pictures of it i'll post them up. wish me luck!

in other news, i also wrote my very first guest blog over at rum and cake. check it out and leave a comment!

kanye is insane

lol...how can anyone not love him?

from his blog re: the glow in the dark tour

I can't take it anymore. I have 2 show you guys a model of the stage. This is not a regular show. I tell people, hey, this show is gonna be crazy and they say, "I bet it is!", BUT THEY HAVE NO IDEA! People expect me to come with innovative stuff... I'm sure a lot of people expect some neon, lower east side, post everybody dressing like the 80's stuff or maybe the light up jacket from the Grammies, perhaps the robot girl and light spectacle they saw on Youtube from the European run. My friends..... NONE OF THE ABOVE!!! AN ENTIRELY NEW DESIGNED SET!!! ROBOT DESIGNED BY ACCLAIMED ARTIST CHRISTIAN COLON, CREATURE'S BY THE LEGENDARY JIM HENSON'S CREATURE SHOP, LIGHTING BY MARTIN PHILLIPS AND JOHN McGUIRE RESPONSIBLE FOR LAST YEARS FESTIVAL ANNIHILATOR, DAFT PUNK'S PYRAMID, POSSIBLY THE GREATEST LIGHT SHOW OF ALL TIME!! THANKS 2 PAUL, THOMAS AND GUYMAN FOR THE HOOK UP. SIDEBAR, MY SET DOES NOT HAVE A PYRAMID IN IT OR ANYWAY FEEL LIKE A BITE OF DAFT'S SHOW. WE'VE GOT HOLOGRAMS SHOT BY HYPE WILLIAMS!!! SAM SPIELGAL, MIKE DEAN, JEFF BAXTER AND I HAVE SPENT A MONTH AND A HALF RE-ORCHESTRATING EVERY TRACK 2 FOLLOW A NARRATIVE. WE'VE LEARNED TO SURVIVE OFF OF 1 HOUR OF SLEEP A DAY!

this negro broke into all caps. i can see the vein popping in his neck. i almost want to stop being cheap and buy a ticket. especially since i really wanna see n.e.r.d. (but really don't wanna see rihanna or lupe).
