Silver and Gold with Ali Basye (Again)

So I had this whole series of posts where
I talked about my trip to the Philadelphia Art Museum, along with my visit with my awesome college teachin' cousin (she teaches English funnily enough, and Mom asked for her assignments for my English class next year. Don't know whether that's a plus or a negative.  :-|  )  Anywho, remember I mentioned that besides visiting the Patrick Kelly; Runway of Love exhibit, I also visited two other exhibits, one called Gerlan Jeans Loves Patrick Kelly and Silver and Gold.  I realized that although I posted about Gerlan Jeans, I never did post about Silver and Gold, which was really cool (and small).  So here are the photos (finally):
I actually could picture myself wearing this.!

Sea of Shoes...looking back

So I really haven't had time
To post about Sea of Shoes lately, and I've possibly picked up a few new readers, so let me go ahead and explain.  Sea of Shoes is my favorite blog, written by this 25 year old fashionista that practically gets paid to wear reallllllly expensive clothes.  I've found some new outfits that are just awesome...here they are.
WANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Patrick Kelly with Ali Bayse Section 2

Ok,
So two days ago or something I posted about my trip to the Patrick Kelly exhibit.  I also said that there was more photos to photo dump on here (I've been going through all the photos I take on mom's phone on trips and realized I have a ton more photo dumping to do).

Anyway, we didn't just do the Patrick Kelly exhibit (though I'm not done with that) but a two other exhibits.  One was called "Silver and Gold" and the other "Patrick Kelly loves >something I don't remember< Jeans"

Anyway, here is the rest of the Patrick Kelly exhibit photos...the others are forthcoming.
Those are real nails.  I don't think airport security would be happy

Patrick Kelly with Ali Basye

Now I FINALLY get to sound like
A real Se-of-Shoes-y fashion blog, because I went one a field trip to day.  I went to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to see the Patrick Kelly, Runway of Love exhibit.  Patrick Kelly is this fascinating fashion designer from the 1980s.  He lived and grew up in Louisiana and...well, read it yourself my fingers hurt.  Patrick Kelly, click here.

Anyway, I have a ton of photos on here, so let me dump them.  Will post more from my recent trips soon, but like I said my fingers hurt.
Sorry its so blurry, but this is the outfit hall.

An Art Club Meeting

Today I'm going to
Walk you through what an average art club meeting would be like.  All the times, btw, are guestaments so don't plan for them.  Nothing is even close to set.  I italicized all the stuff that you would have to do as an average member.


  • 2:15 pm, Saturday:  Members are starting to get dropped off by there parents.  They hang out, talk, and help set up.
  • 2:30:  The club meeting is starting!  The teacher, one of the members, presents his or her project, which should be completable in about an hour (including drying time).  If they got the idea from a book, photo, magazine...they brought it.  They also should have brought at least some art supplies, cuz I'm not providing ALL of that.
  • 2:40:  The class starts the project, while having fun and swapping tips.
  • 3:45:  Parents start arriving and picking up their kids.  Anyone who wants to teach for the next meeting comes up now and talks to the leaders (which right now is me and Abbie) to ask if they can.
  • 4:00:  Anyone can stay for about fifteen minutes afterwards to finish their project and help clean up.  By four, most people have left and the meeting is finished.

Art Club

I am considering putting together...
An art club.  Why?  Well, it would be a good chance to hang with friends and to be creative at the same time.  I will need at least one other friend to help me teach on a regular basis (other people can teach but I suspect that most people won't want to teach) one art project every week.  Comment the following items:

  • Is this a good idea?
  • Would you like to teach or have any good project ideas that one of the official teachers could do?
  • What day of the week would be good for you?
  • Would you come!!!???
However, before you comment, be sure to ask your parents.  This club is run by the kids (and probably will meet at my house) and does not need any parents to teach, but parents will need to drive.  Keep in mind that we probably won't feed your kids, so it will probably be in the afternoon.  I think a good time would probably be Saturday afternoons, say 2:30 to 4 or something like that.

Also keep in mind that there is no true decision at this point and that the times above are NOT set in the slightest.

I'll post soon more about this, more about what this really is, but my hand is tired so I'm going to stop typing now.  Bye (and don't forget to comment!!!)
