you have to color it how it looks!

i think my second goal in life after i decided against architecture was fashion designer. i hung out with this group of girls in elementary school and we decided that we were going to publish a book with our fashion designs. oh my god, we spent hours on it, all working together to accomplish this masterpiece that was going to revolutionize the fashion world! hee hee :)
we each had different assignments in this process. if i'm not mistaken, i think debbie and i drew the models and clothing outlines. i had known debbie since kindergarden and she was my best friend all through elementary. she was much more talented at drawing than i was and i always struggled trying to be as good as her. we reconnected on facebook recently and i found out she is a medical illustrator. damn, now i'll never be able to catch up, that takes hella technical skills i bet! anyway, there was also gwen, laura and karen and they worked on adding color to the designs. i got mad once because someone was coloring in the hair, and they were coloring sideways instead of up and down. i was like "you're hair doesn't grow sideways, it grows up and down! you have to color it how it looks!" so serious! i think rebecca was good at coming up with clothes designs probably because she was the best dresser. hillary was the organizer and was the keeper of the final pages, even after she moved...
i'd give anything to see those fucking pages right now. they were stupid rad. i'm pretty sure unicorns are involved in at least one layout.
