In The Flo: September 2011

Decisions, decisions

As it turns out, narrowing down my designs from 30 to 5 to form a cohesive collection proved more difficult than I thought, but here is my tentative 5-piece collection!

I might still do some franken-designing with elements from other dresses that didn't get chosen but like I said, here's the tentative line-up

For my last year of school we have to design and produce a collection of our choice. I've decided to do women's couture eveningwear inspired by origami and different manipulations of fabric. So here are some of my potential designs, but it has to be narrowed down to 5... which do you like?

Ben & Jerry's new hilarious flavour

If you're a fan of SNL and/ or Alec Baldwin you probably remember his hilarious 1998 sketch "Schweddy Balls" (incase you've never seen it or would just like to relive some of the magic, see below for a small taste of balls) and now you can actually taste them for yourself! Ben & Jerry's has created a new, limited time "Schweddy Balls" ice-cream featuring chocolate malt balls and fudge-covered rum balls in a vanilla and rum-flavoured ice-cream that will be available in stores until the end of the year. Says the company (quoting the sketch), "You won't be able to resist our Schweddy Balls!" Frankly I'm surprised nobody has come up with this sooner, but I do think it's hilarious and amazing nonetheless. Maybe I'll get my hands on some Schweddy Balls.


"I love balls!"

Oh... so THAT'S what she looks like...

I have often said that since Lady Gaga is often so dressed up and so made up and always seems to have a different look every time you see her I was actually unsure as to what she actually looked like. But I shall wonder no more as Lady Gaga appeared on this month's cover of Harper's Bazaar (as well as a photoshoot in the magazine) completely and totally 100% au naturale! It may just be her most shocking look yet.
