The Haute Trash Fashion Show on Saturday was inspiring and fun. I presented my Wedding Gown and White Pinstriped Tux made out of a sail. My models were a smash hit with their fiddling, and the whole evening was a whirlwind of fun

Thanks to Travis and Racoon for their excellent presentation of my work!

Biking to work as therapy

Depending on where you live – and how far it is to your job – biking to work can be the ideal solution for bustin the winter blues. I have to go up this really daunting hill to get from Ballard to Capitol Hill – but everytime I do it I get to work so energized that I get about 3 times as much work done befor noon than I normaly would. So why don’t I do it everyday?

Well here are some of the common ones I come up with
“It’s Raaaaaining” (wahhhhhh)
“I don’t wanna – please don’t make me”
“I’m running late”
“I don’t have a THING to wear!”
“It’s dark when I leave and Dark when I come home”

anybody have solutions for some of those common excuses?

What is Sustainable Fashion anyway?

To me sustainable means – thinking about the impact of my actions in every walk of my life. If I rip a piece of paper towel off the roll I think about where that paper came from and where it will go after I use it for 2 seconds to wipe up a spill. When I buy groceries I pick items that were produced locally and that are in a package that I can either reuse or recycle. I have spent many hours in thrift stores and fabric stores and I am always wondering what sort of impact the things I find there had on the environment to produce. I hope that spending my dollars on items that were produced responsibly is having an impact on those practices. When I am in a thrift store my mind races and sees the limitless possibilities for reusing those items either as is or by refashioning them.
