Skinny-cut pants must die

[batskeets]

While passing by Pioneer Place this morning, I saw in a display window: "The Flare Pant." Flares are coming back! I love flares, and I HATE the skinny-cut pants they've been selling over the past year. Skinny jeans only work on skinny people, and as we all know, Me = Not Skinny. I'll have to budget in some pants purchases this year... wouldn't want to wait, and then find myself needing pants in a Skinny Jeans Year.

In other news, wushu is back on! <3 I tried running my full form again at practice yesterday, and crapped out at the halfway point again. Granted, I *was* sore from the squats and lunges on WiiFit, and the gym session Monday, and there's still something in the air keeping me from breathing 100% normally. I'm going to get some allergy pills today, and if that doesn't help, then I'm probably screwed. XD I know I won't stop when I'm on the tournament floor, though... it just may not look as good as I can make it look, heh.

Speaking of wushu, Master Gao recently commented that I looked like I was losing weight. I didn't think much of it at the time, but since then, a couple of the parents at the school have commented on it, too. Turns out that I have lost about 10 lbs. since I started logging Body Tests on the WiiFit in late January. I can't say that I'm super-excited about it, because most of the lost weight was holiday gain, but it *is* rather nice to have people notice. :)

Today: traffic court. On effing-April Fool's Day! That Milwaukie PD officer can officially eat a dick. :p But, if I get done with that early enough, I may go on the Dressed To Kill Hike! I'm currently debating between the curvy-delicious blue evening dress, or the Bruce Lee jumpsuit...

Also, since I haven't posted pictures in a while, here are some!




We shot dresses for two different designers using the same lighting setup, so I played around with a few different looks in post-processing. The designer really liked the edit on the second one, but I thought the edit on the first one took the best advantage of the lighting. :)

Dressed To Kill Hike?!?!?

Damnit, Star Wars game! Why do I always have to busy and then hear about cool stuff going on? That sounds hella fun.

I know! There are a *ton* of things I'd love to go to, that are happening while I'll be at Berkeley. :/

BTW, if you don't have plans on Thursday, you should come to Harvey's :)

Oh wow... I LOVE the second dress. Is it silk taffeta?


*le sigh* I wish I looked like her... :{


I have yoga tomorrow, but maybe afterwards? I'll text you with what going on sometime tomorrow afternoon. :}

One of your photos is missing from your post! Weird, http://enko.smugmug.com/photos/501323625_DsjXY-L.jpg shows up in the source... Hotlinking protection on smugmug?

Oh, bleh! I'll link it from dA instead.

I hate skinny jeans so much. I caved and bought a pair when my old jeans got holes in the butt and they look terrible on me- I will be so happy when I can go back to flars.

hah! i love flares / hate skinny jeans, too! and you're wrong about them only looking good on skinny people. those don't look good on anybody. >_<

i still find flares at dillards.. when did they go out of style? i must've missed it / been out of style. XD

Definitely like the first photo better.. although I think that has more to do with the model's pose than anything else. I'd totally go thither. :d

The aged and distressed effect is good too, and it goes with the dress, but I'm starting to think it's your favorite look. ;)

Yeah, I do have a penchant for putting pretty things in grungy contexts. ;)
