The Ball
 It rears its head again an in about 18 hours I will be stepping through a lacklustre entrance way that will signal the start of cooing and superficial ah-ing to where said dress has come from and why those diamontes look so real (sarcasm), oh and don't forget the moment where one has to lie about how "good' and "natural" those spray tans look. Even though I may have a few qualms with it, it is an experience that I wouldn't not go to.
 The picture above is what I am wearing tonight (Tuxedo Shirt, Tuxedo Pants, Cummerbund, Waistcoat, Tartan -poorly self constructed- bowtie and finally the Tail Coat) I know how unorignal and cliche of me. I was going to be repping the Pelayo look but thought I wasn't bad ass enough (pardon the colloquialism, I don't even know if I'm being serious at the moment).
 So I shall snap some pictures, down some ball food and get profusely hot in the multiple layers of cliché-dom. Have a good weekend, I might, and I'll post on Sunday. TTFN

Condensation
 Much like my friend Piper's car my windows have enough moister on them to hydrate Bear Grills in the Sahara. On a little tangent the ball is coming up and I'm going with Piper in a suit with matching tartan because that is how we roll.

THE BALL
 It isn't till August but I was sifting through my photos and thought this was a rather good representation of the "ball" experience; bright lights, couples, milling groups of people and that awkward moment when the ball gets closed for the night and you are left not knowing when you should exit.  So those who haven't gone yet (or never did) you didn't miss out on much.
 That said I never miss one and this year tartan is in order, following a silver suit and lego bowtie from the previous year and an over the top bow the year before that.
 But most importantly I hope you have a ball tomorrow if you know what I mean

Ball

The ball well i finished my suit that i made which took me 4 weeks which I'm happy about also i made this nifty bow which was quite big. Also i won prince of the ball Becca's of it. The theme of course was Alice in Wonderland and all and all a good night (with the exception of someone wanting to punch me in the face i think he was jealous of my bow)

My attempt at an action shot

Well the ball season is coming up and what do you know I took on an extremly hard project just because I could. If you havent gathered im making my entire suit. I've already made the pants and due to some extremly stressful hardwork I am near compeltetion 10 or so days before the ball. One piece of advice plan well in advance with everything espicially long term projects because even leaving 4 weeks for compeletion for something that should take a longer amount of time you may have to comprimise.

This suit im also going to enter in the local fashion show with a shirt with tails, with extra volume now. I was inspired, well for the extra volume anyway from a jean paul shirt dress that I saw on TV.
