That's beautiful, ita!

Thanks! Except I clicked on it myself, and that's the wrong one! That was the envelope I mailed to myself and haven't received. That was a travel theme. I replaced it with love. So, this is the front: [link] , the heart that opens: [link] the transitional view:, [link] and the love letter: [link]

I feel like I underexerted myself, but that took quite a while--the teacher usually demonstrates with collage, but I'm sure people are painting painting, and that must take quite a while. I really should be in the forums participating with the other students. Bad me.

That's lovely.

Electric blue or royal blue?

Denim. Indigo. I guess. We'll see when I get there.

So pretty, ita!

I was also trying to figure out what the cartoon silhouette for the Oughts would look like. I guess the 90s is now signaled by flannel/Grunge.

Hipster-rific, or Jersey Shore inspired?

I was just noticing that the women at the Wholefoods near work seem to be wearing the most expensive (well, not LA expensive--Lululemon, the like) but pristine exercise clothes. They just look...shiny, and not in a sweaty way.

Exactly! Same thing with their shoes. It's like super comfy supportive exercise gear but it's there to support their tired achey bodies instead of a physically stressed body.

Without the lights, no one would notice the elephants.

It's quite unclear whether people can make out the unlit elephants. It's a big grey area.

It's a big grey area.

Heh.

I admit I wore my exercise gear all day. I usually do, unless I can manage a shower right after class.

Oh, you guys, today's classic story from my grandmother: She was telling us about her cousin who would come visit in the summers. He had a really cute Irish girlfriend for years, but one year he came with a PITA new girlfriend, who was even less pretty than the Irish girl! So apparently my great-grandmother said she was going to get him to marry her, and she did. "Well, I guess my mother was right.... She was better in bed." Me, mock-horrified: "But how would he know that before they got married????" My grandmother: "They lived in New York."
