This past weekend was the Motor City Makers Faire. On Saturday I spent most of my day teaching needlepoint to young people. Sunday I didn't volunteer, instead I wandered around with Jebra and looked at the various displays.

Tonight was the final FCB Concert Band concert of the season. It was held in downtown Farmington and attracted a good sized crowd particularly considering how cool it has been the past few days and how threatening the skies looked for most of the day. We didn't get back home until just around midnight which partially explains why I'm still up. The other part involves laundry and allergy medicines. I'm about to take my final dose of medicine before going to bed and the washing machine should finish the rinse cycle very soon.

While I waited for the laundry to finish I watched my recording of tonight's How Do I Look. I may have to stop watching this soon as the host is beginning to get on my nerves and the screaming women on tonight's show just made me want to slap somebody. I'm not sure who, but the screaming just annoys the heck out of me. I'm happy to say I don't know anyone in RL who acts that way. Tonight I was also annoyed by the woman who said that wearing counterfeit clothes is disrespectful to the designer. I don't buy counterfeit goods but the reason has more to do with the fact I find most of the things copied repellent in both the original and the copy. If I believed designer clothes were made of quality materials with superior craftsmanship it would be one thing, but even if they were, they would be out of style long before they were worn out.

I'm sitting here watching How Do I Look? which I never even heard of until this evening. The episode I'm watching is "The A, B, Cs of Fashion" (Teacher Chrystie needs to do away with the frumpy, hand-me-down fashion). What concerns me from the opening segment is that for the most part I really like her style and I very much approve of her attitude concerning recycling and saving money. I really liked when she said she'd "rather donate her money to a cause or to someone else than spend her money on fashionable clothes."

So far, I totally love this girl and I don't want to see her become a fashionista.

ETA:

I'm back now that I've seen the big reveal. I'm not used to her hair, and I think I might get used to it, but I sure don't like it at the moment. My strongest reaction was to her dress though -- OMG I hate it. It would be okay for a date (I suppose) but if she's looking for things to wear in the classroom, I think it is completely inappropriate. I'm also curious about what will happen once she returns from teaching in Kenya. One of the models earlier in this episode said that the poverty she witnessed while she was in Africa turned her away from fashion, making it seem completely worthless. So I wonder if Chrystie will revert to her initial indifference to fashion. Not that I expect I will ever know.
