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: Resolution
Oh, you've got to be kidding!
"I have decided" articulated my friend Jane as she eyed the menu board up ahead.
"That, exercise is so overrated, and so are new years resolutions; I mean, come on, who do you know has successfully carried one out for more than 2 weeks after New Years day?".
~
It did leave me thinking, I mean, I haven't ever succeeded in making one go for more than the usual new years resolution duration. Jane made me think for a moment, and usually, I speak before I think, this short comment struck a thought idea through my head, making me ponder the idea of what always seemed so good on the 31st of December and faded by the time you woke up at noon on the 2nd of January .
"I mean, why do so many carry these little dreams or goals out on that particular date, they are practically doomed to fail; I know that's harsh!" Jane paused and leaned took a step forward as our slow line for a quick coffee shuffled on.
I laughed in a practically unusual way that made me look like I was out of a Hollywood movie.
"You have something there though!" I cheerily and inquisitively remarked. "Why can't we just start it this moment, instead of waiting all that time to start something that just about always fails!"
"Yes!" Jane voiced. "Why do they, or we, put our dreams and goals on something so trivial, or brand it as something that everyone else has or does?"
Jane grabbed my arm and pulled my forward as I stopped to pose a thought about why we do, how we do and how it all came about. The lady over the counter greeted us bluntly and we both cheerily answered with our different choices of coffee and chocolate; the poor young girl wasn't haveing a good day, as our ridiculously sarcastic and silly comments couldn't even cheer her young face into a small smile.
"Do you..." I paused and glanced at her name tag "... Anne, have a new years resolution?" I posed the question slightly to my surprise and very much to Jane and Anne's.
"Don't answer if I seem to prying, please!" I smiled at her as I handed her the small bill.
She paused for a moment thinking it was a joke before answering: "Emm, thank you, well, not really, I don't do them, if I want to start something then I do it when I like" she said, glancing up at Jane and I for a second before handing us our change.
"How delightful to have you say that!" I almost squealed.
Jane smiled at Anne and then shook her head. "We had just been discussing how new years resolutions are practically a joke and ready to fail as soon as the thought arrives!"
"I know right!" Anne smiled and Jane winked at me, we had succeeded.
"Thank you Anne! We'll enjoy our coffee a lot better now!" Jane giggled back over her shoulder as we walked ourselves to a small table for two over at the very front of the shop, a good view of the passers by and always making for a great topic of lady like and interesting chit-chat.

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.
Signing off, Grace -

Posting on the go
I, in all my being, intelligence, wisdom and physical strength.... not; Have recovered the convenience of having a smart phone so as to be able to surf the web, shop, post photos, and write on my blog while I'm constantly in a difference place of location during the day.
As the phones got smaller, and the ideas got bigger, and we decided that after the Iphone 5, that we could have something that is a little bigger, not quite a phone size, but rather like holding a book up to your ear if you tried, yet perfect size to sit up 'till ridiculous hours of the night watching YouTube, reading our favourites blogs, updating our twitter status or Facebook profile picture.
I put a lot of faith into technology, that it will keep my work files safe and not delete them, keep my photos where I can find them and now with my new digital sewing machine, that it won't say straight stitch and then give me button hole.
I think, as I sit here at 10:30pm, thanks to technology and some person out there with an idea and their contacts, has brought me my little phone that I couldn't be without- all for good reasons ant of you older generation dissing internet and it's little phones and Facebook.
