So What Happened?

I had planned on doing regular blogging, I had planned on making new items every week, I had planned on going out to different events...I had planned on A LOT of stuff.

But thus is the story of my life and yes, I'm complaining a bit and it's nothing super life-threatening severe, but you would be in the same situation I'm in if it happened to you.

There was A HUGE shake-up at my day job early this month. It went as far as me realizing I might not have that job any longer.

The stress from things finally all hit me at once and Monday last week, on my way to work, realized I couldn't walk upright all that easy. I know I'm not the only one with back problems, but when your back and back muscles are so out of alignment and you can't walk straight, can't get comfortable and can only shuffle around like Yetta from The Nanny, you think you're the only one.

I haven't been able to sew or do much of anything else (there went my Memorial Day weekend plans), so things have been on hold.

I'm still planning things and will update, but felt like marking this point in my life with a silly blog entry. And thanks to the holiday weekend, I have to wait till Tuesday to see a chiropractor...UGH!

INSPRIATION

OK! So I'm going to be posting blogs (almost) daily, which will keep me on track and also allow you to see the madness that is me!

Here's what you'll find each day:
Mondays - Weekend Recap
Tuesdays - Music I Think You Should Know About
Wednesdays - Inspirations
Thursdays - Photoshoots / Event news
Fridays - Sneak peeks!

Being today is Wednesday...let's talk what is inspiring my next collection.

I'm working on a collection for the Reflections Project in Spetember and have so many things I'm pulling inspiration from - they will follow in the next weeks. The title of the collection won't be said until we get closer to the date, but see if you can find the theme.

First clue - Lady Gaga's "Judas" video

So, I wasn't really into this song and still it's 'meh' for me, but I LOVE this video. I'm a sucker for anything 'religious imagery' related. Is it offensive? No. And for those who find offense...it's taking the story of Jesus and making fan fiction of it.

It's beautiful and the clothing is AMAZING! What I'm taking from it - embellishments, crosses, ripped clothing, biker chick chic and the fringed sleeves weird straight jacket/leotard blue number with the Bleeding Heart on it.

As if you haven't seen it...
