Project Ballgown comes to an end

After weeks of hard work, and hundreds of hours . . . I finally finished my ball gown of

P R O J E C T     B A L L G O W N

in time to wear it to the Fedisa Graduate Collection Show. I felt like an award winner going down a red carpet . . . It was amazing to have the place to wear such a dress and even better that I had made it my self.

 This is me, here with my lovely lady, Liz at the Grand Market Hall.

here my dress comes down the runway :)

And there is the back . . . and you know how the rest went because I then noticed all the issues . . . And was highly depressed after this point. Thought the rest of the show was long, very long, it was interesting and gave be a lot of inspiration for my collection next year :)

peace and love

Pick n Pay protests

Sooo . . . something a little different . . .

The Pick n Pay workers were striking.

" Pick n Pay and the union said they would meet at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration today over picketing rules. Mr Mbongwe said customers could expect picketing near every store.

Among other things, Saccawu is demanding a R550-a-month, or 12%, wage increase - “whichever was greater per worker” — and a 10% staff discount on basic foodstuffs "

a quote from http://www.businessday.co.za/Articles/Content.aspx?id=124821 

well, that didn't surprise me much . . . what I found odd was that they were protesting at train stations around Cape Town. And, funny enough, all the way from Cape Town to Fish Hoek, and then split up and went home :)

The billboard behind them says something very interesting. Freedom of expression.

was nice to see people staring at the protesters all over Cape Town . . . some were standing around, taking pictures (like I was) and asking questions.

peace and love
