Some portfolio-related-ness

i spent the entire of yesterday in the library looking for inspiration for final major project, and found a few historical costume related competitions, so expect a LOT of new work over the next month-ish there will be LOTS! and i found janet arnold's patterns of fashion volume 1.......so there will be much much new portfolio ralated work!

VERY interesting new blog sort of dissertationy related...ish

well i'm trying very hard to write the first two chapters of my dissertation, feminism and it's affect on fashion design, and i've found that i'm more and more distracted by random blog-ness. Granted some of these incorporate feminism and its relationship with fashion, but more and more i'm getting distracted by other posts and reading very big chunks of blog rather than just the feminism/fashion post i started with.... its not helping me write very much.....

It has helped me find some very interesting blogs though, one in particular i've fallen head over heels in love with! seriously look at www.ayearwithoutmirrors.com! its the blog of phd student kystin gruys, living an intire year without mirrors, this includes using shop windows as mirrors, and looking at photographs! whats even more astounding is she's started her year 6 months before her wedding! shes starts her blog form the begining of her year, in march 2011, but i'm not sure how she's getting on with it because i'm trying really hard to make myself write dissertation instead of reading more of her blog.......
