lost in time,space, meaing...ok, well, just Indai
so, bored with my new obsession: the L Word, which I've been watchin when I get home from the factory, as its late, I know no one here, and my attempts to find a bar have been unsuccessful.... until this point, that ia.
Finishing up a little earlier yesterday after trying to find buttons (which proved a little harder then planned. The dude from the factory, who was lovely, clearly did
not enjoy showing strange-lady-with-weird-haircut round on his only day off. but he was so helpful and did his best to make sure i didnt get ripped off. with only 2 button shops where we in this awesome market, which I should have stayed at for longer on my own...but anyway, thats another issue, the button-shopping trip turned into buy gifts for mama, sister and mama's best friend, oh and did i mention me?? But I found some random shit, which you will see on the models that I hurl down the runway, ok not hurl.. but I'll have them doing something!
So, I finished up early, and got back to the hotel, and took a cab to some area where I knew I could get a massage, which I knew was near some bars (i am smarter then i look. well, thats how i was feeling.. then) ... I found a pub, and had a couple of cocktails to myself, and felt a little drunk, and finally like I was in a different country. When trying to ask someone for directions, he actually asked me if I "spoke English?"
"Erm..yeah, I'm speaking it" (I didnt go into the fact that I only speak English.
"Then how come I don't understand you?"
Well, thats one fuckin compliment! The only language, which I feel I have mastered pretty well, is completely useless to me! And dont get me started on my attemps to learn Hindi. I know I am not going to do well with those learning language CDs. Its not cos I am being hard on my self! I know I will learn nothin...cos I lost the freakin CD already! Dang.. thats what I could have been doing in my time off, learning Hindi, but oh know, I am speandin my time off from the factory watchin hot chicks get it on...hey, that doesnt sound so bad.
Anywayz, the collection is lookin cute.. I think there r a couple of pieces people might actually wear. which is pretty good out of 30pcs! but I dont want to give anything away at this point!
Oh so anyway, found a bar, and when ready to go home, I realized I had NO IDEA where the hotel was.. I called the one guy I know here, who pretty much said 'figure it out yourself' and hung up on me. He said he didnt know where the hotel was, even though I am pretty sure its right near his house. Ok, oh well, its India, getting lost is part of the experience (is that what people mean about "finding themselves"..once they get back to the hotel?)
But 2 lovely guys next to me helped me, I didnt even think it was suspicious that he wanted my full name and room number when he was trying to find my hotel. It only occurred to me when he called me that night to see if I was ok. So Mr. one-of-the-"lovely guys next to me" turned into "hi-you-ok-i'm-a-potential-murderer". and just like in Shaune of the Dead, i bolted the door and locked it (if you've seen it, you might know what am talking about, ..they way they film it? ya know??). and slept in preperation for him to come in and say "i just wanted to check you were ok??" but i am awake, and writing this down in case he does come, and you guys can tell the cops who it was.
got a button hunting day today, and actually feel better then i did last night, as I had hangover straight away from my mojito (who drinks that in India??? oh, that'll be me.)
I hope this has been somewhat amusing, or at least worth your time procrastinating..

Burjumans Runway Art Fashion Competition Recognizes Eccentric Designs At Dubais Avant Garde Fashion Showcase
The Crowning Event Of The Two Week Art And Fashion Took Place On The Evening Of Thursday 13 December 2007 In Burjuman.

The crowning event of the two-week Art and Fashion took place on the evening of Thursday 13 December 2007 in BurJuman. Talented UAE-based fashion designers were chosen from the professional and amateur categories of Runway Art, the fashion competition held as part of Art and Fashion 2007. The competition was an exciting and inspiring event to all emerging and budding talent, offering a platform for designers to publicly display their visual works of fashionable art.
Runway Art, now in its second successful year, is a fashion competition composed of two categories: the professional category for designers with at least 3 years fashion experience, and the amateur category which is open to all emerging talent. In October, BurJuman invited all talented designers to defy convention, think out of the box and enter the fashion contest to showcase their creative craft, bearing in mind the competition theme: Eccentricity. Short-listed entrants were given eight weeks to complete their designs and unveiled their creations to judges the night of the competition.
Two winners were chosen from each of the professional and amateur categories. Angello De Vesus won the popular vote with his creation, Falcon Queen, an embellished depiction of the falcon as a powerful ruling figure, and walked away with the grand cash prize of AED 20,000. The recipient of the runner-up award of AED 10,000 in the same category is Jolly Cabrera with his design, Fashion Revolution, an east-meets-west reflection of modern fashion.
The Amateur category also saw two aspiring designers walk their eccentric creations on the runway. Winner Rollan David Manuel took home AED 15,000 with his creation, Looney, and runner-up Buffi Simone Jashanmal was awarded AED 7,500 for her design, Do Not Overtake in the Right-Hand Lane.
Finalists showcased their creative designs on the catwalk to key figures in the world of fashion and art. Judging the event was prominent designer Walid Atallah, stylist and designer Mandi Kingsbury, Desert Fish magazine creative director Pieter Richweisz and Jumana magazine editor Jill Downie. Each critic brought to the panel their fashion expertise and judged the designs on creativity, uniqueness, craftsmanship, and of course, overall presentation.
In addition to the judges and designers, Kacy’s Beauty Salon provided the hair styling on the models using L’Oreal products, while Lancôme generously provided the makeup. All finalists will also have their creations exhibited in BurJuman from 16-21 December on the Glass Bridge for all to enjoy!
