OWL CITY - OCEAN EYES

Okay somewhere in October I was so in love with LIGHTS' debut CD (still am)
I am now in love with another synth-pop artist Owl City, who released their third CD this past July :)
Why have I taken so long to discover them?
Comprised of one person (like LIGHTS), he refers to his sounds, backing band, and himself as Owl City.
Also like LIGHTS, Owl City's songwriting talents are...out of this world. I don't understand anything, and at the same time, I just get it all. Some of OC's songs (like Saltwater Room on the teddy) make me feel so happy inside!!
LIGHTS & OWL CITY ARE GOING ON TOUR TOGETHER but not in my area which is extremely sad.

So while perusing Fifty Dresses That Changed the World (by the London Design Musuem) I came across Versace's safety pin dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley in 1994. At that time, she was relatively unknown, and this dress actually launched her career. When I first saw it some years ago I was blow away by the ingenuity and I would like to share it with you!

I was also perusing Fifty Shoes That Changed the World (also by London Design Museum) and came across some painful monstrosities that I had only seen once before on Canada's Next Top Model. Apparently these Louboutin Ballet Fetish hells are all the rage in japan, and everyone wears them....ow....

Also saw these heel-less boots, worn famously by Victoria Beckham.

I was in the washroom and then I heard my sister call me in a really panicked voice. I went to her room quickly and she had her face turned away from her computer screen in total fright. "What's the matter Amy?", I said. She replied, "IF I DON'T FORWARD THIS EMAIL IN 10 MINUTES THE GIRL FROM THE RING IS GONNA COME INTO MY ROOM AND KILL ME!!!" She was close to tears, and this is where I burst out laughing.

Tonal Drawings

I was only supposed to do four grey scales and one drawing using a modelling technique, but I did three because I wasn't sure how it was supposed to come out...which one should I use for my critique this Monday? CAN YOU EVEN TELL THAT ITS AN EGG WITH A SHADOW? Help me, I'm lost :(
