I need to start off by thanking a lot of people here. It has been such a strange year for me. Almost a year to the day of me losing my real job as a designer. I never would have lasted this long if it want for the friendship and support i found here~I don't ever want life to be like this again for me again...just thi depressive,null void.
Anyway i finally ended up getting lucky last week...and i found myself a little freelance job. I'm not working directly for Osh Kosh Begosh...I'm working for the studio they contracted to produce thier initial adult collections and as far a freelance jobs go this isnt so bad. The pay is nice,its very flexible...very fast paced and metropolitan. You'd be surprised at how much work Ive gotten done since I started thi project on saturday. The main studio is *fabulous*. Totally hi~tech and modern. The kitchen and lounge area would make you guys cream. I was tempted to bring in my backpack to work this morning just to pinch stuff untill I get my first paycheck. My fit model for the menswear group is one of the guys in the Old Navy "dating Game" spoof commercials.~and the way it wa explained to me now that I'm "in" I can pretty much count on this being a steady source of work.
The thing is is saturday while I was working in one of the temporary design studios uptown I ended up meeting the head designer for a mid sized evening wear house here in the city and well...I just got finished meeting with him and he wants me to start working for him on monday. Im not really sure if this is a full time job or freelance or what but the key word here is drama. The clothes and gown Im going to be producing are just amazing,over the top sexy award ceremony pieces and he's even got a few celebrity clients up his sleeve~if all goes well within the next few month I might have some work in print again. Its kind of wild how one thing leads to another and it just about time I got a break. I've systematically lost everything this past year in such absurd ways I was starting to think I wasnt going to make it and its just time I pulled myelf out of this slump. Usually I lead quite a charmed life. It all feels kind of antilimatic how stressed Ive been and how easily this fell into my lap so for everyone who offered me kind words of upport and more~cheyenne and Mr.D and Eumy and Rhys and summer and shameless Flirt and Islandman for faxing my resumes for me (it was the fax Islandman sent that got me the initial freelance job) and everyone~thank you for being my friend.
I have a lot of work ahead of me. When I say you guys dont really know me...you dont. This past year was a fluke. Usually Im an extreme over achieving workaholic and its going to take months of focus just to get my polish back...i'm a little scared of being that person again.. but I'm on my way and hopefully i'll find what i'm looking for.
see...punching your ex boss out does bring good things...
