quelle journee

i'm so tired . . . it's not even 8pm and i want to go to bed. today was overwhelming. i had a serious breakdown meltdown freakout before noon. first day of fashion week - bright and early i woke up to film "dinner with the band" featuring Rufus Wainwright for IFC. that was interesting enough but on my walk back, i found out that a photo shoot ive been working on had been cancelled, i also didnt get a position that i had been waiting to hear back from AND the worst news of all . . . Alexander McQueen died. this is so devastating and truly a tremendous loss - what a creative being . . . so sad. i tried to write something about this when i first found out, but i couldn't find the words - i still can't. he will be remembered fondly and deeply missed. there are very few designers of his generation that are even close to as avant garde as he was ..... so sad. spring 2008 was one of my most favorites of his collections (below). i also strangely became quite fond and intrigued by his hoof shoes from last season. Poor Alexander . . . you never really know just how much someone else is suffering. RIP. x
