Bil Donovan Masteclass -

It has been a week, a whole week since I took this class, but Easter has more days off than Christmas so... why did it take me so long?
Lazy.

For those who don't know, I got accepted into a Master Class with the Bil Donovan.
I tell myself all the time because it doesn't sound true-
Bil Donovan.

Me, 30 other participants from all walks of life (all into fashion and art of course).
Yes, it did cost, and quite a bit once I had paid for the flights and train; I was lucky enough to know someone over there that let me bunk down for the weekend(even picked my up from the airport and dropped me off.

Er, that's right, I forgot to tell you, the Master Class was in Melbourne; all hail!
I have never been into  Melbourne as such for shopping or staying, just zoomed from the boat to the closest suburb out of the inner city.
Always quite scared of the big city that it is.
But THIS time I went into the city. The very heart of fashion in Australia, the very life of which everyone around you breaths, eats, lives and thrives on fashion, style, and being the best - the people are also VERY nice people.

ANY WAY,  back to this Masterclass.

It started at 9:30 am, they gave us lovely fresh fruit and slice for breakfast(morning tea) before we sat down. I instinctively introduced myself to as many people as I could (it was very quite for a room full of 30+ people, so I put my RYLA  into gear).
- Two ladies I met(names? They had names?) were head designers from two mens wear labels in Myers and David Jones, they didn't however, tell me which labels.
- One boy I met was originally from Tasmania(yay) and was living in the Gold Coast while drawing exquisitely amazing drawings, that's what he did, but worked as a checkout boy (talent wasting!!).
- Another girl I met was (get this) Fashion design assistant to ALANNAH HILL.  I died.
- And another girl offered me an internship at her shoe design place (shoesofprey.com) of I remember correctly. Nice offer!

That is some of the people I met and spoke to a bit, there was such amazing talent around, and to meet everyone would have been amazing, I should have gotten everyone's contact details. I even got  photo with Bil, but that's on my phone, and I am in lazy state right now so don't expect that to go up on any sites soon.... unless you're following me on Google+, then I reckon you'll have seen him.

I will post some of the Art work that I created (totally non-masterpieces, but they will progress.

Thanks for staying with me this far!! Please comment, share and follow me (on here, twitter, tumblr and any other site I'm signed up to but can't remember at this time).

Thank you!!!

Flights With Idiots

Maybe that was a bit harsh.
But in all honesty, flying with an idiot is all a part of the modern world.
They have no brains, they look kinda stupid, they get lost and forget the direction-
I prefer to think that an 'idiot' is an intelligent person seen through different eyes (sometimes).
I, for one, maybe a complete competent, selfless, mindful, intelligent geek through one persons eyes, and through another persons... A total, and utter nincompoop(for want of a better word).
Which makes me think, and well, I have come to realize, in all my glory, my amazing descoveries and original ideas, that we are all, in fact idiots.
Human, mistake making, blithering, bumbelling, selfish, twit minded, mindless talking opinion making - idiots.
Well, anyway, I was on a flight to Melbourne this morning (now writing to you from a train into shopping heaven) and it was fasr, efficient and full of idiots.
Idiots like you, idiots like me, and idiots like that person over to your right.
Thank you for you undevided and idiotic attention (if you know what I mean).
