While watching ‘Project Runway’- doing mindless activities in the afternoon of my first day off- I feel as though I should be doing something a bit snazzier with my day. The episode I am currently in-golfed in gives the designers an opportunity to design ‘ a new look for a drag queen’.
This show catches my eyes- not to judge the work of the designers, and definitely not to provide my opinion on their art work- but simply to gaze in the glory of each one of them, following their dreams. Now, if I could only get them to design some dragon inspired outfit for me to wear to New Orleans next year- I would be set. What else really would a girl need?
Picturing myself in a dragon costume- I some how am pulled to a quote I read over my ever so inspiring Facebook news-feed a few weeks back- ‘if your dreams don’t scare you, they aren’t big enough’. Generally, I suppose people could argue this either way- but I am going to go ahead and take it literally and give myself big ol' pat on the back. I have big dreams- no; huge dreams- dreams that do not quite seem obtainable and that I am not sure are even realistic. Obviously- fear is present- otherwise I am not sure how I could be making such bold statements. (and yes, you can blame Seneca for my use in such jargon) However, before you are inspired to talk with me about how all dreams can come true- go ahead and breathe a huge sigh of relief. A therapy session will not be necessary- at least not for the subject in making strides to obtain my dreams. In all honesty, I am quite terrified of failing and also of the great things that could come if my master plan is obtained. However, the short of it is- I am confident, that I too can make incredible drag queen outfits.
With all that said- my attempt at snazzy was to try my hand again at photo shop. I struggle with the program- not only because it is incredibly complex, but because I have yet to find the balance between utilizing photo shop to enhance a picture- and using photo shop in an attempt to make a shot. I believe that one day I will be able to snap a great picture- using technology to enhance my vision- not to use the program to make a great picture. Easier said than done- I guess not even every drag queen can win every show- nor can every designer find enough sequences to enhance the sparkle in her eyes.
Well- here are a few photos I shot around the house- with a few photo shop tweaks. I believe I at least found a little fringe and sparkle- but maybe that is just the twinkle in Putzi's eyes...
Seriously- Putzi is adorable. Maybe I should put her in drag? :) Cheers.
