From Nicole Brundage's new label, "Acrobats of God"

I'd have to see them in person, but I'm interested

Lulu's bound!

Tonight's influences include the following:

One tall, orange Four Loko

One extremely catchy Adam Lambert song:

Wishing I could squeeze into this pair of Louboutin's that are inhabiting my closet. They would really go well with my (any?!) outfit!

Now that I've admitted to watching "The Hills", and wearing Forever 21 in one fatal swoop, let's move forward!

I've had in INSANE craving, for at least 2 years now, to do an underwater shoot. I really want to do one in a pool, and one in a natural body of water to get the color differences. I haven't shot anything creative in a little bit, so I'm hoping to get some people/clothes together and make this happen in the next week or so.

Any volunteers!? (styling, model, car, pool...)

This will be unrelated to the clothing I'm making. I have a feeling I'll have to get dragged out of the pool to stop shooting.

For today, however, my task is to do a quick shoot for the Elle Magazine anniversary book.

Ever karaoke your heart out to "Nookie" by Limp Bizkit?

I highly recommend it.

A dash of useless "celebrity" gossip: Stephanie Pratt from "The Hills" is wearing a Forever 21 dress. How do I know this? I happen to have recently purchased the same one. Not exactly who I'd pick to dress the same as, but what can ya do.

Aren't they suppose to be millionaires?

I went to The Met with my friend Jess today. We didn't stay all too long, but heres a few of the pieces I was particularly drawn to this visit. Enjoy!

I strongly believe that I have a lot to offer the art world, and that what I'm offering isn't dumbed down for the masses, yet relates to everyone on a more intellectual, and purely aesthetic level.

I'm sure millions of people feel this same sense of grandeur towards their ideas, but unless you're out there doing something about it, it's an absolute waste. I truly believe that I won't be able to rest until I put my permanent thumbprint on this culture.

I've always thought, without a doubt, I would become (or am?) a photographer. As I'm getting to know myself better, I'm realizing there's so many other creative outlets that I have talent and interest in. Only problem is, I want to do it all and be the best at everything I go after.

Ideally, I would art direct, produce, design the wardrobe, style, light, shoot, and retouch every photograph I create. When I got into photography, I thought all of the afore mentioned "jobs" were all assumed tasks that came with the title "Photographer". Wrong.

Perfectionist or control freak, I'm not sure. I guess it's a fine line.

At the end of the day, I know I'm still young and there's plenty of time to figure everything out. But why wait when I could lay the ground work now, and learn from my mistakes before it's too late to grow from them. I just wonder if I want is too much for any one person to tackle alone.

Sketch!

Sketch outlining my intended alterations for the yellow dress I posted photos of a few days ago.

Ok. Here we go!
