where it's at

so I dyed my hair black. I don't know if it looks THAT black - tomorrow when I get to Uni I'll find out (if people notice!)

Things are crazy busy right now but in the best possible way.

I have 2 weeks of Uni left but I have an extra week to finalise my Urban Brats stuff so things there are going well. I am pretty happy with how things are going although the photos I am showing don't do justice to how good some of it looks. I've really outdone my own expectations on this and it feels GREAT - it's not often that happens because I usually set myself goals that are not realistic.

I am also starting work on an exhibition which I am going to curate in 2009 (hopefully March) showcasing the wearable art of recently graduated and unrepresented artists - hopefully to coincide with Melbourne Fashion Week. I have got several interested and extremely talented artists so now the work begins to secure funding and a venue. But it's exciting and I think could be a really innovative addition to what Fashion Week offers to Melbourne.

It's now less than 4 weeks until I go to Canada. My work visa cam through so I am all set there. I cannot wait to go honestly! AND I will be able to see the Sex and the City movie over there so that's exciting too - I am busting to see it! I'm hoping to buy a camcorder to record my experiences while I am there, especially in the setting up of the exhibition and opening. What a wonderful record that would provide! I am hoping to pay for that using money I am earning doing some photography work for the University.

Otherwise, everything is well and happy - crazy busy but I love it! I am reading comments and replying when I can - thankyou to everyone who keeps reading even when I am slack in updating! And also thankyou for the kind emails and messages I've had recently about my uni work and all the encouragement. It means more to me than you can know!

And hey JESS - it was ace to see you today at DFO! I did eventually find some black pants that aren't for anorexic models!!!!

Was the hair before or after I saw you? Surely I would have noticed that? It was great to see you. Will have to catch up properly when things quieten down a little for you.
