Beth came for
drinks and dinner last night. We drank most of a large bottle of champagne and
then we went to La Brasserie. The
food was perfect and it was quiet and calm; at one point we were the only
people there. It was a nice soft evening nightcap for Beth after her day of
transit from Tofino.
She gave me her
memoire to read and she’s offered to read my script when it’s ready. It’s great
we have each other for feedback.
After dinner I
did more work on the defiant dress. My technique with foamcore is working
excellently. I slice it into thin tapered strips and then assemble it in the
form I want. It’s wonderfully repetitive — OCD heaven. I’m really happy to be
underway on a dress again. I just love having something to do while I listen to
TV on rainy days — and today is rainy.
And I’m in
great shape. Whatever hit me a couple of weeks ago has passed. Last night, with
Beth, I was talking up a storm and today I feel as strong. Beth starts her
conference tonight and she’s at it all day tomorrow. I will work on the dress
all the time except for when Beth want’s to get together.
This dress is
not going to visually impress but I love it. It’s not funny and it’s not pretty
but it’s (mildly) powerful at a time when bullying is in the news and ideal as
the show’s title dress. This one’s not going to be nearly as much work as the last
one.

Your photos are a daily inspiration. Where do you get them from? Are they a personal catalogue? Thank you so much for your blog. Lynda Tam
Hi Lynda: I recreationally find the images online. I was a curator of photography when I was beginning my career and I had to be intellectually rigorous about my choices of exhibitions. But here, I just post images I like. I'm a slave to beauty, Lynda. Thank you for your kind comments and I'm very happy you like the images.
