SpyGirl Status Report

Hello, all my internet friends! I have several deadlines looming large...

An art exhibition that gets hung 4/22, opens 4/24, reception 4/28.
If you live in the Los Angeles area, the details are here on facebook
and here: annembray.com

I am working some of the art into repeat so that I can offer voile scarves in the prints... nothing completed on that yet... eeek! I promise myself to at least have the one above available. I want to wear it to the FABB West conference on 4/30! You'll be the first to get the shopping link when it happens.

The Threads and Surfaces Fashion Icon sketchbook is due to ArtHouse in Brooklyn on 4/30. Must get back to doing those portraits, I have 12 to finish. If I do one a day...
I'll be posting those here as I complete them.


TAXES!!!!!!


The fake wedding journal is on hiatus at present >sad face<.


Any OOTD posts will most likely go on Facebook for now so please go like SpyGirl to see what crazy combos I concoct next.

There are lots of things I want to write about but I must concentrate on the top four items above first. For instance, I've gone undercover on Pose just to see what happens. I'm also monitoring Pinterest with a high degree of paranoia.
SpyGirl is very busy -- "on the QT and very hush hush."

Later, my dears!

FAKE - Happy April Fool's or is it Fools'

Today marks the first day of Roz's International Fake Journal Month. This is my fourth year of fakery. I will headline these VERY FAKE posts with the word "FAKE" to avoid any confusion. I am NOT getting married, SpyGirl is! SpyGirl is fiction. OK?

I will be using a Disney Princess coloring book that I found at a 99¢-type store that was going out of business. I have already encountered the challenge that sharpie + markers will bleed through the very cheap newsprint that it's printed on. I foresee lots of collage happening. It's also bigger than my scanner. I'll either keep taking photos, or scan every week on the bigger scanner at OTIS when I teach on Saturdays.

I'd say this whole fake wedding thing was inspired by a Modcloth Pinterest contest. Here is my PinBoard from the challenge. It was very entertaining compiling it, and I liked the idea of extending it for a month. To help me with my ToDo list, I googled "wedding planning" and I came upon this planning site: TheKnot.com Looks good! I registered! I SO needed this in 1979 when I got married for real.

As I was completing the form, I saw this message at the bottom:

Does it mean I'm a horrible cynic that I found this very funny?
