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!!!

Two Random Girls - Round 2

Round 2 of Jane and Grace-

It's 4:00 AM?... Ugh!
I woke up as the alarm went off on my phone, blaring out some hideous ringtone that I had put on it at one point in time. I guess it works because it's that horrible it makes me want to run around outside yelling GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF! ... but maybe that is because my dream life is made up of things wanting to be so dramatic and (dare I say) 'hollywood-ised' or theatrical.
First thing I check is my phone, well, of course, I've just had to stop it from always sounding like a dying goat(that was a horrid description Grace!).
2 New messages - check, it's Jane.. and Telstra.
-Morning Grace! I'm sending this at 1 am as I'm caught up on Pinterest.. again! - I sigh and roll over, covering my head with the pillow for a moment before sitting up to read it better.
-...I'll be in at A'dventure around lunch time as I knock off early today, want a chai? -
The idea of a chai sounded like heaven at this time so I managed to slowly 'swype' a text back (only using my thumb, that's hard!) confirming our meet for around 1.
I flicked through the phone, found the alarm that was set for my brother, switched it off, shouted out until I got a reply and then fell back to sleep, sweet dreamin'!

The next alarm at 7 woke me abruptly.
It wasn't even my alarm, but it woke me up.
Shut that thing off my brain was thinking, but someone else was saying it!
"Taz! C'mon, it's your alarm, can't you shut it off?" I heard Evan yell from the top bunk and he swung his legs over and hopped down. I had thought he was going to work but turns out I was wrong, everyone was home today... oh dear!
The alarm stopped after we managed to get Taz awake and going (well not going, as he never get's going until 3PM). Irene rolled over but kept her head in the phone. I closed my eyes to relax, searching for my ear plugs under my pillow, some peaceful solitude and quiet musi- ...shut up and kiss me, no need to miss me..- Ahhh, start the day with some pick me up rock from Reece Mastin.. and perhaps some One Direction before Macklemore and then perhaps I'll be ready to get up... oh and that meet with Jane... last day of freedom before I have to get stuck into being famous... in my mind.

I think I've been waiting at this bus stop for almost an hour, looking at the watch and it's only been 3 minutes, damn, oh well, this is what you get for being a slacker and waiting so long before you get your license. The late morning sun is beautiful, I don't really want to get on the bus as I know at this time it will be rather on the full side and I'll sit next to some old lady who smells like dirty washing water(generally about 10 day old stuff, yes I know what it smells like), Not that old ladies are a paid or anything, but they could be a little more hygienic, surely there is some Chanel No5 floating around in that old dresser..?

The bus is packed, so packed that I have had to revert to standing. I can just feel all the eyes glancing at me, just random little me, standing, bag over shoulder, dressed up more than they could imagine and on a bus, yes I should have my license, I know, but don't stare it's not polite.
