I have two exams left (easy peazy) on Tuesday and then I am a free woman until I get my summer job!<br />I've hit a bad streak of unfortunate circumstances as of late, hence my neglecting of le blog. Not that the world will stop if I stop blogging, but it's a fun hobby that I'm trying to keep up.<br />Despite my moments of serious bummer times, I've been daydreaming a LOT about this summer, and all the things I want to do!!<br /><br />Here is my Summah-time Bucket List!:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">1. Beat Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, for the umpteenth time. </span><br /> I have owned this game since it first came out back in 1998. I don't own any of those fancy new gaming stations. My N64 has been my old faithful. Pretty much every summer, with the exception of the last two, I have beat it. Time to get back on it. Maybe this time I'll be able to find all the Gold Skulltulas.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.triforcerealm.zoomshare.com/album/Picture%27s%20Found%20of%20The%20Internet/images/06448062ce1a2a18917098f83dbe0458_11354679750/image.gif"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://www.triforcerealm.zoomshare.com/album/Picture%27s%20Found%20of%20The%20Internet/images/06448062ce1a2a18917098f83dbe0458_11354679750/image.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-size:85%;">Oh look, it's the WHOLE GANG!</span><br /></span></span></div> <span style="font-style: italic;">2. Find a GOOD summer job</span><br /> This should probably be the first thing on my list. I've already applied for 3 positions that I'm reeeeally hoping I get. I don't want to do cleaning again (waste of my skills!), and I'd rather not serve (summer student work is way more convenient). Boring, but true<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">3. Go Camping</span><br /> I haven't gotten to go camping since I lived in Kitimat as a young kid. I hear Waterton is really nice this time of the year, and this summer I actually have pals to go camping with! LOVE being outside. LOVE building fires. LOVE roasting hot dogs.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://thearroyostrain.com/How%20To/Camping.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 617px; height: 463px;" src="http://thearroyostrain.com/How%20To/Camping.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-style: italic;">Yes Please!<br /></span></span></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></span></span> <span style="font-style: italic;">4. SLED ISLAND</span><br /> Hunx & His Punx, Buzzcocks, Bare Wires, Bison B.C., The Greenhornes, Quest For Fire, The Raveonettes, Thee Oh Sees (!!!!), and Vicious Cycles are just a few of the rad bands that are confirmed, and those are just the ones I've heard of! In addition to that, local bands/friends are also playing. I won't be able to make it up for the whole thing, but here's hoping I can at least make it up for the weekend!<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">5. Sew, Mamma, Sew!!</span><br /> God, I'm pissed at myself for my lack of motivation and ambition. But really, it's hard to get it sometimes, when so much else is going on. No excuse, this summer I want to make at least 2 outfits. And that's aiming low.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></span></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.buystoreshelving.com/display_female_dress_form/leopard_dress_form.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 546px;" src="http://www.buystoreshelving.com/display_female_dress_form/leopard_dress_form.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153);font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I actually intend on making myself a dress form just like this, only I'm going to use leopard print duct tape.</span></span></span><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">6. Learn an instrument<br /> </span>Well, I have this damn guitar that I bought, that's just sitting there looking pretty (so pretty). I should make my fingers work so I can learn something, goddammit. For someone who loves music so much, I should at least be able to play <span style="font-style: italic;">something!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">7. Go see dinosaurs!<br /> </span>Not actually, but Drumheller isn't that far, and I haven't been there since I was a kid! As long as those velociraptors keep their distance...<br /><a href="http://robert.malseed.com/robert/newsletters/xmas/2005/drumheller_8.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 640px; height: 480px;" src="http://robert.malseed.com/robert/newsletters/xmas/2005/drumheller_8.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Jessica/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Jessica/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png" alt="" /><img src="file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Jessica/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png" alt="" /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">8. Frisbee Golf</span><br /> Back when I lived in BC, a few of my friends got me into this past time. But then when I moved here, I didn't have anyone to play with, which is a damn shame, because Lethbridge ACTUALLY has a frisbee golf course! So, who's in?<br /><br /><a href="http://sxswsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/roanokefrisbeegolf.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 385px; height: 261px;" src="http://sxswsports.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/roanokefrisbeegolf.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"><br />9. Reading</span><br /> I've always loved to read, since I was a little girl. And I don't do enough of it. I have my own bucket list just of books I want to read.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"> World War Z - Max Brooks<br />God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything - Christopher Hitchens<br />Sit Down and Shut Up - Brad Warner<br />The Rebel Sell- Joseph Heath & Andrew Potter<br />The Kite Runner - Khaled Hosseini<br />1984 -George Orwell<br /><div style="text-align: left;">Just to name a few.....<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">10. Spiff up my Bike</span><br /> I bought a cool little cruiser bike from Canadian Tire a couple summers ago, and I have been wanting to paint it ever since I got it. Right now it's just boring white with some pink flower stickers that I've ripped off. Hopefully by the time I'm done with it, it will be a bad-ass red with black and gold accents.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.43bikes.com/images/andy-virgin-11.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 185px; height: 289px;" src="http://www.43bikes.com/images/andy-virgin-11.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="color: rgb(153, 153, 153); font-style: italic;">I hope you got a big trunk, because I'm gonna put my bike in it.</span><br /></span></div></div></div><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span></span></div></div>Jessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380994089200428798.post-77320661188270405942011-03-26T12:01:00.001-07:002011-04-03T19:07:35.410-07:00Tumble'dI just wanted to share a little thing I'm trying out via tumblr, I'm trying to do a photo a day.. we'll see how it goes.<br />You can still look at my photography on my Flickr too!<br /><a href="http://jessicajurassic.tumblr.com/">http://jessicajurassic.tumblr.com/</a><br /><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jessica_awesome/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/jessica_awesome/</a>Jessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380994089200428798.post-21109583383029150472011-03-26T10:50:00.000-07:002011-03-26T10:52:28.721-07:00Ghost to CoastWhat'd you do when I was gone?<br />I pretty much just hung around.<br />Did you get any work done?<br />I said "no, I just hung around..."<br /><br />I've got a lack of motivation, a lapse in ambition,<br />I sit and watch the fire burn and wish I could burn with it.<br />I've fallen by the wayside of pretentious young writers,<br />looking for inspiration in party time liars.<br /><br />What do you do now that I am gone?<br />I spend most nights alone, singing songs in my room,<br />and all of them are for you.<br /><br />It's an awful sinking feeling when your own heart starts stealing<br />reason from the mind.

Most of the time we spent as beach bums. Our resort was right on the beach, a large but homey 3-star (all-inclusive),with brightly coloured buildings and lots of gorgeous and fun decor to give it a Mexican fiesta atmosphere - despite the majority of the guests being Canadians (escaping our brutal February, no doubt!). The ocean was beautiful, with a clean beach and warm, shallow waters. Every morning I would wake up early and try out the morning activity, which was either yoga, stretching, or tai chi - none of which I'd any experience in. The little 60 year-old woman from Quebec was in better shape than me.<br /><br />But I really enjoyed doing yoga, I'd always had an interest in it, but never tried it. That's what this trip was all about for me - other than family bonding - new experiences. I tried yoga, tai chi, octopus, haggling with locals, blackjack, boogie boarding, ziplining, swimming in a river, holding a snake, feeding monkeys, sailing on a pirate ship.. and I would have done so much more given time and money! I loved going and walking outside of the resort... the fleamarkets, the buildings, the locals, it was great. I had never traveled further past the United States, and was blown away by how it contrasted Canada and how we live, for better and for worse. Mexico is definitely a poorer country, but don't let the negative publicity deter you. It was a beautifully astounding experience, and I feel like I've been bit by the travel bug.<br /><br />Without further ado, here is just a teaser of some of the beauty I captured. More photos can be viewed on my Flickr, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jessica_awesome/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/jessica_awesome/</a> , with more to come as I sort through them.<br /><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5132/5507308677_5c2e8cec6b_b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 490px; height: 366px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5132/5507308677_5c2e8cec6b_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5020/5507308683_51fdd74b26_b.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 494px; height: 660px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5020/5507308683_51fdd74b26_b.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5179/5507308693_6c0009b14a.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 500px; height: 375px;" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5179/5507308693_6c0009b14a.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Jessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380994089200428798.post-88661947691326577852011-03-05T09:00:00.000-08:002011-03-05T12:43:49.579-08:00Fashion. Music. Love.I have made my return from a week in sunny Mexico, and if it wasn't for all the people I love in this town I probably would have stayed! That place is amazing, and so laid back. I took a LOT of pictures, some of which will be edited and posted on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jessica_awesome/">my Flickr</a> (check it out, I'm not half bad a photographer)... as soon as I can upload them to my computer. Currently, I'm having technological difficulties. I'm taking donations for a new computer... just saying.<br /><br />Once I do have pictures up, I will devote a post to my love for Mexico, but in the meantime, lets talk a bit about what's been heating up this small Southern Alberta town.<br /><br />Last night was Lethbridge Fashion Weekend, a small fashion show that was created by my very talented instructor, check her blog, <span style="font-style: italic;">Schizo Style,</span> out <a href="http://schizostyle.blogspot.com/">here</a>. It featured some of the local designers, but was not as big as it was last year, sadly two designers dropped out, and I didn't get my shatner together in time (or at all) to make my collection. Lack of motivation would do that. I neglected to bring my camera, which is dead from Mexico, but my wonderful colleague, Kat, took lots of pictures for her blog, <a href="http://thevisualjerbil.blogspot.com/">The Visual Gerbil.</a> Both blogs are much more interesting than mine, as they're probably not high when they write them. Not that I am right now... it's too early.<br />I digress.<br /><br />Last week was the Oscars, and despite my lack of movie watching of late, it was fun to attend an Oscars viewing party and watch all the stars in their amazing dresses. My top 3 favourites?<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Halle Berry in Marchesa</span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://weblogsurf.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/halle-berry-oscars-2011-13.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 336px; height: 502px;" src="http://weblogsurf.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/halle-berry-oscars-2011-13.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo via weblogsurf.com<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:100%;" >Scarlett Johansson in Dolce & Gabbana </span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://media.sawfnews.com/images/Hollywood/Scarlett_Johansson_Oscars_2011A.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 325px; height: 488px;" src="http://media.sawfnews.com/images/Hollywood/Scarlett_Johansson_Oscars_2011A.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo via sawfnews.com</span><br /></div>And lastly...<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Anne Hathaway in Oscar de la Renta </span><br />(one of her many dresses of the evening!)<br /><a href="http://celebrityfashiondirectory.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/1094829001.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 332px; height: 482px;" src="http://celebrityfashiondirectory.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/1094829001.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo via celebrityfashiondirectory.com</span><br /></div><br />Also in blogworthy news, next weekend me and my fella are going to go to Medicine Hat to see.... wait for it....<br /><br />....Drum roll please....<br /><a href="http://www.evildeadthemusical.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;font-size:180%;" ><br />EVIL DEAD: THE MUSICAL</span></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">I'm SO EXCITED I COULD PEE.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.medicinehatmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/evil-dead-2-crazy-ash-27.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 396px; height: 296px;" src="http://www.medicinehatmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/evil-dead-2-crazy-ash-27.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo via www.medicinehatmedia.com</span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I'm rather surprised it's playing in Medicine Hat, of all places... last year it was in Calgary, but I was still living in BC, and then when I moved here, it was in Vancouver. So this year, there is no missing it, and thankfully my significant other is just as big of a dork as I and wants to go too. Needless to say, it's going to be ridiculous.<br /><br />In more exciting news, this summer promises to be a great one for music.<br />First up, April 1st in Calgary....<a href="http://www.theflatliners.com/website/news.php"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><a href="http://www.theflatliners.com/website/news.php">THE FLATLINERS!</a></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://groundcontrolmag.com/m/articles/42/12/2124/l_default.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 287px; height: 383px;" src="http://groundcontrolmag.com/m/articles/42/12/2124/l_default.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Photo Via Groundcontrolmag.com</span><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Anybody who knows me knows how much I <span style="font-weight: bold;">LOVE</span> this band.

Words can't describe how STOKED I am to see NOFX. I've never seen them before, and I've been listening to them for about 10 years. </span>These guys have been doing this since before I was even born. Also touring with NOFX, are lablemates <a href="http://www.teenagebottlerocket.com/">Teenage Bottlerocket</a> (upbeat pop punk), and <a href="http://www.oldmanmarkley.com/Home.html">Old Man Markley</a> (punk rawk bluegrass). If you live in Canada, check out the dates at any of the links I've provided!<br /><br />Also coming this June, we'll have <a href="http://blog.sledisland.com/">SLED ISLAND</a> in Calgary. I didn't get the chance to attend last year, but apparently I missed out on a lot of awesome bands, so this year I will definitely be going, especially if any of the local bands go up there.<br /><br />Wow, with all of these exciting things going on, I have spent about an hour blogging about it and now my coffee is cold! I didn't even get the chance to answer the questions that I was tagged to answer from Kat's blog. Next time!<br /><br /></div></div></div></div>Jessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380994089200428798.post-50909229191670102402011-02-01T09:20:00.000-08:002011-02-01T11:32:39.035-08:00South of The Border<div style="text-align: center;">I should probably be designing my line, but I'm hard pressed finding the time between case studies, tests, work, and my social life. That doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of my Mexicali collection that I began designing months (and months) ago.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">But what's exciting is I may have a new source of inspiration: I'm going to MEXICO!<br />I get to spend a week at a resort just outside of Puerto Vallarta. It's my first time in Mexico, and my first time traveling to somewhere other than the US or other Canadian provinces. I am ridiculously excited.<br />And since I've been lazily neglecting this blog, I've decided to perk it up a bit by tracking down some Mexican-inspired fashion photos for all you fashionistas to geek out on.

One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." ~ Albert Einstein<br /><br />"There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment." ~ Sarah Dessen<br /><br />"I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best." ~ Marilyn Monroe<br /><br />"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind." ~ Kurt Vonnegut<br /><br />"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity." ~ Gilda Radner<br /><br />"We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be. ~May Sarton<br /><br />"You can't force love, I realized. It's there or it isn't. If it's not there, you've got to be able to admit it. If it is there, you've got to do whatever it takes to protect the ones you love." ~Richelle Mead<br /><br />"Without music, life would be a mistake." ~ Friedrich NietzscheJessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380994089200428798.post-610856927733046102010-11-29T09:43:00.000-08:002010-11-29T10:06:55.018-08:00Smoley Hokes!My goodness, has it ever been some time since I've posted here.<br />Probably a sign that school (and my social life) are keeping me as busy as ever.<br />There's been some changes since I last posted, I've shifted my focus from Design to Marketing. At least for the duration of this program. I feel like I've learned as much as I'm going to through the design stream, and figure it would be a good idea to be well-rounded and taking some marketing.<br /><br />I had taken on the responsibility to spearhead a fund raising campaign for the Fashion Club to help us raise some cash for program costs (perhaps a new buttonhole sewer?! maybe some muslin!?), as well as raise some money for charity. Our original idea was to have an "Anti-Fashion" show, featuring Lethbridge's best garage-punk bands, and have everyone dress up as outrageously as possible. This didn't pan out, so we opted instead for a more mellow, moustache and ugly sweater party.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7M9LC406f3IgOiEoBx2kLQHeDN3Lev3LzWM-fDNvj92S_AhFw1MUf-4zt7pe7DPj3ih38wqZ9v9FlIZ6r7YoQwuqt9upIb3BhTqtWFtDRKEzIA-92j59CQA2Ptn7S5o9RaiA8vRfvEc4/s1600/moustachebash.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 194px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7M9LC406f3IgOiEoBx2kLQHeDN3Lev3LzWM-fDNvj92S_AhFw1MUf-4zt7pe7DPj3ih38wqZ9v9FlIZ6r7YoQwuqt9upIb3BhTqtWFtDRKEzIA-92j59CQA2Ptn7S5o9RaiA8vRfvEc4/s320/moustachebash.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5545031694486357458" border="0" /></a>It was a total hit! A small group of us came together and were able to pull it off, thanks to all the awesome musicians who volunteered their time to help us out.<br /><br />After the success of this, I'm interested to keep dipping my toes into this promotion gig. As such, perhaps marketing is a good way to go. I'm still wanting to do my collection for Spring/Summer 2011, but I need to do it for me. School is sucking the inspiration out of me, and I'm done trying to be put into a little box of the same old same old. I don't care about your trends, I don't care about your fashions. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it by my own terms, and I've learned everything that I can be taught here, so here's hoping I can at least get a decent collection!<br /><br />Other than the lack of inspiration, school is going by decently, and I'm looking forward to being done for the semester! My favorite class by far is Surface Design, and I'm hoping to post some interesting techniques and things I have found later on!

So as such, of course I'm going to blog about music, even if this is supposed to be a "fashion blog".<br /><br />But I digress!<br /><br />In a week's time I'm going to be on my way to Edmonton, Alberta, to see two of my most favorite bands play under the same roof. Both of which, have been the topic of my blog in the past: Against Me! and The Flatliners. What's even better, is that a friend of mine is touring with The Flatliners, and has been so kind as to put me on the guestlist. Wow! Guestlist?! How can I say no!?<br /><br />This will be my fourth time seeing The Flatliners, but my very first time seeing Against Me! To make things even more exciting, some friends from BC are going, and I'll be going with a good friend of mine from school who graduated last year. It will be a huge reunion of people I know that haven't seen in a long time, seeing two of my most loved bands.... it's just something I can't pass up.<br /><br />So, without further ado, allow me to share with you the latest video by The Flatliners, called "Carry The Banner." Check it out, get their album, and if they're coming to a town near you, go see them!<br /><br /><object style="background-image: url("http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/CYOGn1snotg/hqdefault.jpg");" height="295" width="480"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/CYOGn1snotg?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/CYOGn1snotg?fs=1&hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="295" width="480"></embed></object><br /><br />And while you're at it check out this awesome video of Against Me! featuring Tegan (You'll have to go to YouTube to see the video)<br /><object style="background-image: url("http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/DWv4KDE_WIM/hqdefault.jpg");" height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/DWv4KDE_WIM?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/DWv4KDE_WIM?fs=1&hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="never" allowfullscreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="344" width="425"></embed></object>Jessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380994089200428798.post-2478396638532409952010-09-11T17:40:00.000-07:002010-09-11T17:57:12.151-07:00I'm Sick, Your Tired, Let's Dance<a href="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/18807105/Emily+Haines+SM.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 500px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 636px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/18807105/Emily+Haines+SM.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.novafm.com.au/lib/images/gallery/normal/metric-lollapalooza-2010-in-chicago-140099.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://www.novafm.com.au/lib/images/gallery/normal/metric-lollapalooza-2010-in-chicago-140099.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/7200000/Emily-Haines-emily-haines-7282510-424-283.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 424px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 283px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/7200000/Emily-Haines-emily-haines-7282510-424-283.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/7200000/Emily-Haines-emily-haines-7282506-300-344.jpg"><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 344px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/7200000/Emily-Haines-emily-haines-7282506-300-344.jpg" border="0" /></a> <div>Canada is often underrated when it comes to things such as music and fashion.

And now it's back to school for my second year of fashion!<br /><br /><br />I couldn't be more excited, but more frazzled. Despite having done a bit of blogging, and a lot of shopping, I haven't done much in the way of keeping in touch with the fashion world!<br /><br /><br />This is going to be a big year. I won't be graduating with my class, as I've decided to do a 3 year diploma, favoring work and grades over getting it done with. I will, however, be designing my own collection for Spring/Summer (more to come on that regard!), and will be taking on a hopefully important role in the year end fashion show.<br /><br /><br />So what's in store for me this semester? Well, let me tell you!<br /><br /><br />I'm extremely excited about my courses this semester. I'll be taking my second Pattern Drafting class - one worde: <em>draping.</em> Finally! Garment Construction, where I'm assuming we will be contstructing garments that were drafted in the previously mentioned class. Computer Pattern drafting, and last but most certainly not least - Surface Design.<br /><br /><br />I must say I'm most excited about Surface Design. I would love to make that one of my specialties!<br /><br /><br />I've also decided I'd like to take some courses in PhotoShop. For some reason it's not offered as part of my curriculum. Guess I'll need to upgrade my computer in the near future!<br /><br /><br />Now it's just a matter of getting re-inspired. I'm not entirely ready, but as with everything else in life, I don't mind jumping in head first.<br /><br /><br /><br />"<em>Walk, Walk Fashion Baby. Work it, Move that Bitch Crazy. Walk Walk, Passion Baby. Work it, I'm a Free Bitch, Baby."</em><br /><br /><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 600px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://images2.fanpop.com/image/photos/8700000/Lady-Gaga-lady-gaga-8713329-400-600.jpg" border="0" />Jessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380994089200428798.post-50629635179442782772010-07-20T20:17:00.000-07:002010-07-21T00:05:07.745-07:00Label Whores.<div><div style="position:relative;width:400px;height:400px;"><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/labels/set?.embedder=1601030&.mid=embed&id=21007147"><img width="400" alt="Labels?" src="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/img-set/BQcDAAAAAwoDanBnAAAABC5vdXQKFkpFR0V5WldVM3hHdUhYbktJSGw2R0EAAAACaWQKAWUAAAAEc2l6ZQ.jpg" title="Labels?" height="400" border="0" /></a><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/" style="line-height:1%;position:absolute;bottom:2px;right:2px"><img alt="Fashion Trends & Styles - Polyvore" src="http://www.polyvorecdn.com/rsrc/img/logo_embed_alt_63x21.png" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;" title="Fashion Trends & Styles - Polyvore" /></a></div><br/><small><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/labels/set?.embedder=1601030&.mid=embed&id=21007147">Labels?</a> by <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/profile?.embedder=1601030&.mid=embed&id=1601030">MoppyHead</a> featuring <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/hermes_bags/shop?brand=Hermes&category_id=35">Hermes bags</a></small></div><br />Whatever happened to the old adage "Money can't buy you happiness?"<br />Suppose it can't, but it can buy you that BMW, that Louis Vuitton bag, and that Chanel jacket. It could also put a pool in your backyard and a maid in your kitchen that you can pay minimum wage because she came from Mexico.<br /><br />Okay, I suppose I sound bitter. But I can't seem to wrap my head around the label obsession of the average consumer. Something about carrying a Louis Vuitton bag screams "Status" that it makes people feel wealthy, and important. Even if they nearly maxed out their credit card to afford it. What is it about designer labels that cause people to become so... impractical?<br /><br />I have never cared about brands. I'm willing to pay decent enough money for a good quality garment, but you'd never catch me spending hundreds of dollars on jeans, a bag, or even shoes. Maybe jewellery but even now I'm happy with my $40 rings and cheap, cute accessories. I am more satisfied when I discover a thrift store gem. I think it's kind of funny that I'm going to school for Fashion Design when I don't really care a whole lot about what's going on in the world of fashion. The most I've ever actually attempted to follow the industry has been in this past year. I haven't always hated it, I quite admire the work of designers like Betsey Johnson, Marchesa, Vivienne Westwood, and Alexander McQueen. But I just as much admire the work of many of the sellers on Etsy.<br /><br />I just don't really understand the nature of the fashion industry. There are people who actually DECIDE what the colour trends are going to be. Self-proclaimed fashionistas feed into this, eating up the latest September issue of Vogue and proudly sporting their latest [insert luxury designer brand here] shoes/bag/outfit/whatever, and before you know it the season is over and it's onto the next trend. Sure, some privileged people can afford these "luxury" items - I'm not sure what is so luxurious about them, since I've never actually held them in my hands - but why are they really buying it?<br /><br />I suppose there are a variety of factors that come into a customer's buying habits. I don't understand why a Brand name would be one of them. There are some things I do think should be considered:<br /><ul><li>Fit - Is it flattering on your body?<br /></li><li>Comfort - Can you walk in those shoes?</li><li>Quality - Will it last longer than a year? Or more?<br /></li><li>Fabric - Is the quality of the fabric good? How does it feel on your skin?</li><li>Emotion - How do you feel when you wear this? Does it make a statement that you want to make? Does it make you feel confident? Happy?</li><li>Ethics - Was it hand made? Domestically made? Or was it outsourced? Was it produced ethically?<br /></li></ul>Really, the only time price would even be of importance is if it was a good quality item for an extremely good price point.<br /><br />Fashion is one thing, style is another. I think style is how you use clothing to express yourself, to make a statement of your personality. Style is also about how you put your outfit together in an appealing way - kind of like using the elements and principles of design. But at the same time, it's about wearing what you <span style="font-style: italic;">feel</span> like. Fashion on the otherhand, is this omniscient presence, a commercial clusterfuck that controls the minds of consumers.<br /><br />I have seen many people who just wear whatever they want. As long as it's put together well, I can appreciate it. Even if it's not, if they bring an aura of confidence to what they're wearing, then I can appreciate that too.<br /><br />I guess I just don't get the big deal. I don't know why some people care. Perhaps this is why I will never make millions off my designs. I don't need to, I just want to be able to live comfortably, doing what I love.<br />It just leads me to a song I previously posted recently:<br /><div style="text-align: center;">"Is there anybody thinking what I am? Is there any other alternative?"<br /><br /></div>Jessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380994089200428798.post-31459580886195676862010-07-13T21:14:00.000-07:002010-07-13T21:23:20.061-07:00U.P, U.P, and away!I just stumbled upon this interesting video about something called <a href="http://www.theuniformproject.com/">The Uniform Project</a>, where one girl wears one dress for one year, to raise money so children in India could go to school, and also to raise awareness for sustainable fashion. The result is an awesome and amazingly executed charity that has raised over $100,000.<br /><br />This project also defines the differences between fashion and style. With a little bit of creative genius, this girl was able to wear the <span style="font-style: italic;">same dress</span> every day for 365 days, and each day she looks awesome.<br />I could go on about how amazing it is, but see for yourself!

Part Deux<div style="text-align: left;">I'm starting to find myself a bit of a fan of Marchesa. The way the fabrics are manipulated and all the details are stunning. I just want to hold it in my hands and try to figure out how they made them. I stumpled upon this<a href="http://www.fashionising.com/pictures/b--Marchesa-feminine-beauty-Fall-2010-3098.html"> blog post</a> that privvied me to the Fall 2010 collection, and I felt like I was taken away to this fashion dreamland.<br /></div>So allow me to pass it along, and bring some beauty to an ugly world.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/photoshoots/MarchesaFall201018.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 558px; height: 833px;" src="http://www.fashionisingpictures.net/photoshoots/MarchesaFall201018.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Imagine being able to fly with fairies. That's what this dress makes me think of.

The shooting stars are what won my heart, and the details on the cuff are lovely.

The details in the chest are mind boggling.

Now, this isn't a fancy schmancy SLR or anything, god knows I'm not camera literate enough to tackle those yet, but it's the nicest camera I've owned to date, and it takes pretty awesome photos.<br />So for your viewing pleasure, here are some of the "fine pix" I have taken! To avoid photo bombing, there will be more to come in later posts. I don't care if they're used, but give credit where credit's due (I should probably do that myself...) - in otherwords, don't pretend they're yours!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS2No5vhqpUcBkfW4tVzizwBB4HN6qLEdoQCmzaHEshsahtPO13LYCrJCWqjjlItxfoFKVBOCEraHcaDKTQWHSMH0NNmuUEwLxFc-K113TulsTXWw5aJlXqSYKNgaAsenNONybXN8bcAo/s1600/twofour+084.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 448px; height: 335px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS2No5vhqpUcBkfW4tVzizwBB4HN6qLEdoQCmzaHEshsahtPO13LYCrJCWqjjlItxfoFKVBOCEraHcaDKTQWHSMH0NNmuUEwLxFc-K113TulsTXWw5aJlXqSYKNgaAsenNONybXN8bcAo/s320/twofour+084.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486540986089239506" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" >This is the closest I will ever get to a bee.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi762WaLFzZBMXrSnNoSm7DclaY02Lc9j7bMprX92seldJMVSrX9Cx5OVBoYXPqPFSrCCdi6YaSilre_U-kqgoNP4tcqJJzfq2qiC64Ag0Z7JmDdO4-OKWC6qae_ukPwganr8ii1C77WEw/s1600/twofour+082.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 452px; height: 339px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi762WaLFzZBMXrSnNoSm7DclaY02Lc9j7bMprX92seldJMVSrX9Cx5OVBoYXPqPFSrCCdi6YaSilre_U-kqgoNP4tcqJJzfq2qiC64Ag0Z7JmDdO4-OKWC6qae_ukPwganr8ii1C77WEw/s320/twofour+082.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486540979684383682" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Dandelions - the beauty of flaw.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKAT8jdWgJqKFtznq23NRLZg1h4qWJ40EhK1fZAfhWaQbsQxc_f6AZTgGLI1RSlVZBC47g36RUzacA0M0qS1PwhCxdw73NOT6TOHqpwqYmJ5tQyHvt0MnGJfOXCYx9KScrINtasO7TKWY/s1600/twofour+042.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 454px; height: 340px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKAT8jdWgJqKFtznq23NRLZg1h4qWJ40EhK1fZAfhWaQbsQxc_f6AZTgGLI1RSlVZBC47g36RUzacA0M0qS1PwhCxdw73NOT6TOHqpwqYmJ5tQyHvt0MnGJfOXCYx9KScrINtasO7TKWY/s320/twofour+042.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486540971633467010" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Does the body good.<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAaBTFh_wDwQlC8SGr83SNkcV4BE13nQ9EZk61FEnH2Y-iP2QJ7hQhp81IX_oqQw3RDsJfxSWokoE_StsB5fojueApPRahErNCSUr4Bi1nLhRB1LiyBxT-hha0jEUJtN28uki439-sTmw/s1600/twofour+024.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 453px; height: 339px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAaBTFh_wDwQlC8SGr83SNkcV4BE13nQ9EZk61FEnH2Y-iP2QJ7hQhp81IX_oqQw3RDsJfxSWokoE_StsB5fojueApPRahErNCSUr4Bi1nLhRB1LiyBxT-hha0jEUJtN28uki439-sTmw/s320/twofour+024.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486540961952069474" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Hallucinations at the bowling alley.<br /><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ZKz0DwXcPwsGCY60_-g9tomlh40qmnzDNOENSakkgM7pP4YuJ_0Kk9Dr2EBC8tmbc0b460FU4uaeRL0OZWfddaY1PPHmj6RZTgkj0jXOx6h7VvtIveY76PZvux9zw6BKAVCj8hJnB48/s1600/twofour+004.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 450px; height: 336px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0ZKz0DwXcPwsGCY60_-g9tomlh40qmnzDNOENSakkgM7pP4YuJ_0Kk9Dr2EBC8tmbc0b460FU4uaeRL0OZWfddaY1PPHmj6RZTgkj0jXOx6h7VvtIveY76PZvux9zw6BKAVCj8hJnB48/s320/twofour+004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5486540950529455586" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">An homage to the world cup.<br /></span></div>Jessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380994089200428798.post-8836867513686270902010-06-24T19:26:00.000-07:002010-06-24T20:00:57.810-07:00Form, Fit, Fashion, FABULOUS.I just recently celebrated my birthday - go me! - and I got this amazing book as a gift. It's called "Form, Fit, Fashion" by Jay Calderin, from Rockport Publishers. This book is a fashion designers bible. I am about halfway through and so far it has touched base on just about everything I've learned in school thus far.<br />Here is a little excerpt from the back:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Topics encompass collection theory, forecasting, budgeting, specializations, color, textiles, silhouette, fashion illustration, patternmaking, stitching, finishing, digital technology, quality control, portfolio building, branding, merchandising, and show production. Interspersed throughout, interviews with leading fashion designers demonstrate how these ideas can be creatively interpreted in practice.</span><br /><br />Unlike many of the textbooks we have to buy for our classes, this book is easy to read and small enough to fit in your purse. Aspiring designers, established professionals, and fashionistas alike can all take something from this book. It offers a comprehensive overview of the fashion industry focusing on six core aspects of fashion: <span style="font-style: italic;">research, editing, design, construction, connection, </span>and <span style="font-style: italic;">evolution.</span> If you are a fashion student, or thinking of pursuing a career in a fashion industry, this book is definitely a good investment!<br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.bostonfashionweek.com/FormFitFashion03.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 448px; height: 668px;" src="http://www.bostonfashionweek.com/FormFitFashion03.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a></span>Jessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1380994089200428798.post-56332978802577239852010-06-01T19:45:00.000-07:002010-06-01T20:12:39.605-07:00Once Upon a Time in MexiCaliDesigning my first collection, and I couldn't be more excited!<br />I find that my biggest inspiration for it is the song "Down in Mexico". Of course, it's a Spring/Summer line.<br />My fabrics are going to be light, flowing drape meets stretchable structure. The overall themes are Cinco de Mayo, Los Dias Muertos, little rocker girl all grown up with a touch of retro, and she's going on vacation. I want to do some screenprinting (when I learn how) as well. My creativity is flying and I've came up with 6 outfits so far that need to be rendered, so I thought I would provide the soundtrack to this collection to whichever poor souls actually read this blog. But if you DO read this, and need a nice summer soundtrack, you should track down these tunes, and then subscribe to my blog so I know you exist!!<br /><br />1) April March - Chick Habit<br />2) The Centurians - Bullwinkle, Pt II<br />3) Chuck Berry - You Never Can Tell<br />4) Dick Dale & His Del-Tones - Misilou<br />5) The Lovely Ones - Surf Rider<br />6) NOFX - Cantado En Espanol<br />7) NOFX - Kill All The White Man<br />8) The Revels - Comanche<br />9) Jack Nitzsche - The Last Race<br />10) Smith - Baby It's You<br />11) T.Rex - Jeepster<br />12) Staggolee - Pacific Gas & Electric<br />13) Eddie Floyed - Good Love, Bad Love<br />14) Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mich & Tich - Hold Tight<br />15) Eddie Beram - Riot in Thunder Alley<br />16) The Coasters - Down in Mexico<br />17) The Tornadoes - Bustin Surfboards<br />18) Urge Overkill - Girl, You'll Be a Woman Soon<br />19) The Blasters - Dark Night<br />20) Jimmie Vaughn - Dengue Woman Blues<br />21) The Leftovers - Toquay<br />22) Tito & Tarantula - Angry Cockroaches<br />23) Tito & Tarantula - After Dark<br />24) Angel City Outcasts - Bleeding Heart Saloon<br />25) Authority Zero - Chili Con Crudo<br />26) The Bodysnatchers - Ruder Than You<br />27) Chubby Checker - The Twist<br />28) The Clash - Wrong 'Em Boyo<br />29) The Specials - Pressure Drop<br />30) HorrorPops - HorrorBeach Pt. 2<br />31) Howlin' Wolf - Smokestack Lightening<br />32) The Toasters - Marlboro Man<br />33) James Brown - Papa's Got a Brand New Bag<br />34) Joe Strummer - Silent Telephone<br />35) The Specials - Ghost Town<br />36) Streetlight Manifesto - The Troubador<br />37) The Specials - A Message to you RudyJessica Jurassichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15508733751732637701noreply@blogger.com0
