I've moved on...
...to a different domain. Why, what were you thinking? The truth is, I just woke up one day and decided it's time for a change—a metamorphosis, if you will; or, in layman's terms, if Britney can shave her head, then maybe so can I? Nevertheless, it's been a rather handsome 10 years of talking to you, and thank you for putting up with all my moodswings and terrible dad jokes. Fear not! The hormonal imbalance and jokes are more terrible on CUBICLE, see you there.

What is your nationality; Where were you born and raised; Where have you travelled; How tall are you? [erika]

  • I’m South Korean.
  • I was born in Seoul, but raised in Warsaw (Poland).
  • I travelled around the world when I was a kid in a Helium balloon with a metrosexual person in a bunnysuit. No, um I lived in Vienna for 2 years when I was a baby, and I was taken around when I was a kid through most of the major cities in Europe. I’ve never been to the States and the only Asian countries I’ve been to were Tokyo and Seoul. We mostly radiated around central Europe, so I did a lot of adolescent naked-swimming in Hungary and the Czech rep.
  • How tall am I – I’m 168cm/5’5(?). Although, I do have heels attached to my sole like hardskin so I usually breathe the 175cm/5’8 air.

How do you take care of your hair? [sputnik sweetheart]

I dunk it in vitamin water daily and whip it occasionally with a belt to make it more frothy. I don’t actually have any haircare tips, I just wash +condition it in the morning, let it dry naturally (yes, naughty). My guess is that everything I eat goes to my hair – hence my dying skin and generally unhealthy body. My hair has totalitarian rule, it seems.

What is your job/occupation? [punkie]

I’m a full-time student studying Graphic Design in Central Saint Martins, but I also work freelance for a Dutch Webdesign company.

Why are you so fabulous?; Can you post more DIYs? [Christine]

  • Fabulous, huh? I hardly think so (but thanks!), but methinks my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard.
  • Yes of course I will post more DIYs, I’m currently bone dry of inspiration for doable/easy DIYs. The knitting and sewing will only reach a small number of people so I need to find something that everyone can benefit from. AND I need to learn how to sew anyway :P

Four questions a day, in the order they were posted! :D

Last night I dragged my boyfriend out to play soccer in the dark. Now, we all know General Life Advice article no. 223 is Do not challenge your full grown man to play soccer with you one-on-one whether you were on the highschool varsity team or not. The mixture of testosterone, masculine musclefibers, sweat and flaming man-ego brings about one ugly war victim. I managed to trip and fall on the dry cement, and when I say fall, I mean thwack!, the real business we used to get when we were 7. DO ADULTS EVEN FALL ANYMORE?

Actually the game was progressing 7-0 for him, so in deep shame I accidentally kicked my own feet, tripped, squeezed out some blood, wailed I can’t play anymore and stomped back to my room.

New Word Alive has been amazing so far, thunderstorms in my heart and a good old rattling of the brain. Think Christians, many Christians. Think tent, a big tent – put that together, and songs of praise to God. Now, that’s my cuppa tea.

Returning back home tomorrow, so currently planning some kind of a clever plan to catch a seagull to stuff in my bag to snack on in the bus.

So I was standing in the college shop trying to choose a pen, and I see these light green and dark green ink pens in the corner. So I think what kind of serious adult would need a light green pen? What would you possibly write with a green pen? Then I realise this whole artschool building probably does not contain one serious adult, so I went and bought it to draw leaves and trees ‘n shit.

So unmotivated lately.

Rodarte S/S 2009 through Style.com

What you’ll need:
Cutting board, ruler, white gel pen (or any fabric marker), scalpel or fabric scissors, pattern, victim leggings, and about five bucketload and a half of patience.

download
I was going to explain how to do the maths of the grid, till I realised I don’t know past addition and subtraction.

Print out the pattern on heavy paper.

Cut out only the grey area and discard cutouts.

Using the template, turn the leggings inside-ou and mark pattern where you wish to cut.

Using scalpel or scissors, cut out the pattern. Scissors are about 304 times easier and faster to operate. Oh, NEVER stretch and cut. Always cut at the natural tension.
Repeat for both legs (Actually, I tried it on when I was done with one leg and that was pretty dang cool too. If your bucket of patience decides to evaporate or boil out, then you could stop there and rock the demi look)

Fabric tips: I chose a elastic/semi-shiny leggings… Well, If you want to add another 5 hours sealing off the edges with a candle, don’t get them. Rodarte obviously had theirs laser-cut, so there’s no beating that. Also avoid cotton leggings as well – mucho fray and no easy way of seal. The best would be semi-thick material (faux leather or semi-shiny pvc) which doesn’t have too much elasticity.

Too much elasticity may end up in making the diamonds look like round holes which is just a glorified fishnet. Mine’s semi like that, you probably can see…

Goood duck!
