and I make clothes.
Haven't made a costume in about 3 years...

That's okay tho, because I went into FIT thinking I wanted to do costume design and lolita... and now I design with an actual market in mind. (Namely monied people who work in creative fields). My time there totally shifted my interests.

Funny enough, I've been going thru some of my oooooold sketches (pre-high school), and I see, under all the frills and fangirling, something that actually resembles what I'm designing now. Apparently I was interested in 3D, avant-garde design back then too. :J

There isn't much of an audience for me here on DA. Most of my personal work's been going up to tumblr: evennerdierthanthou.tumblr.com The fashion community here is mostly photographers, illustrators, and costumers. My stuff just won't fit.

I got my first "blue tag" (equiv. to a DD) there on my most recent creation. evennerdierthanthou.tumblr.com…  It's basically some Yohji/Limi Yamamoto-influenced work based on both Victorian era children's wear and modern Japanese martial arts apparel.

I'd like to create the rest of that collection... right now me and my husband are floating between two states as we wait for real life stuff to happen.

In the meantime, I'm just hanging out with friends...
You can hang out with me here or on tumblr if you like.

Working (i.e. procrastinating from) a few personal and paid projects. Moar later.

Ten interesting things about me.

1. I am a bandwagon Doctor Who fan.
2. My favorite fashion designer is Yohji Yamamoto.
3. I am engaged to my only boyfriend ever. :3
4. I used to be really into Lolita and Visual Kei, but now I want to make minimal clothing and listen to weird experimental garage tunes. x3
5. I am catching up on pop/fashion/geek culture VERY SLOWLY.
6. I hate no-one, not even my mother.
7. Most things I love I've only seen/heard a little of. Like Cowboy Bebop. Or the Gorillaz.
8. I do not want to want to be famous (sic).
9. I can't stand humans, but I love people.
10. I have a blog outside of DA. forgottendoll.wordpress.com

I won't tag you... you can do the 10 Questions if you like.

Peace. ^^

I've enjoyed the freedom of posting my experiments and works-in-progress over at the blog forgottendoll.wordpress.com , but I've missed the community. Seeing thx4everything at A-Kon and being greeted by a month-old notes from MOONDOGPROD1 and AtariPunk633 reminded me of how much I loved it here. Freedom is lonely.

I'm at a loss though... most of my works are muslin prototypes, hardly anything you could call "finished". Most of the Artisan Crafts>Textiles>Clothing category is corsetry and screen printing, and Designs and Interfaces>Fashion is mostly pretty little fashion figures. I suppose I could post my work and stand out from the crowd, but I would not get the same educated feedback I already get at StyleZeitgeist and Fashion-Incubator.

I do not want to sound cold, but will it be worth my time to format and present my work for DA?

I can think of one thing... I have met so many wonderful photographers, poets, artisans, and makers of every sort here, of a variety I will never find outside DA. And I would love to work with some of you some day soon.

I think most of my old friends will find my aesthetic much changed... I have not worn Lolita in about 6 months. Most of what I wear and create these days is almost the opposite... structured, minimalist experiments in shades of black, gray, and tan. (And yet I keep thinking of how that Comme Des Garcons sweater just might look amazing with the Baby jumperskirt, if just given the chance... )

I'll upload one of my design boards to show you what I mean.

I love you all dearly, and I've missed you. I'd love the chance to talk to you again. :)

So, things have been pretty quiet around here lately... this is because most of my work has been of a work-in-progress, street fashion photography, ramblings about stuff I thought was cool, etc. sort lately. Hence! More blogging, less DA... v_v I really don't produce enough finished products to justify posting here. But I really do miss you all. You all are so incredibly supportive and I wish I had more to offer right now... but I'm gathering skills and inspiration at an almost alarming rate at the moment. : ) So, if you're still interested in my artistic journey, follow me over at The Forgotten Doll: forgottendoll.wordpress.com

I love you all so much!! If you post in the comments over on the blog, please mention your DA name so I can remember who you are.
