The Consistent Variable Project Workbook page 8 or You Should Model by risa
This jacket was neat, but not finished, I don’t think. Clayton and Sarah included the possibility that we might not have time to finish in the project from the outset, because that’s life. ABout 20 percent of projects don’t come back in, according to Clayton, (which sounds like it might work well with the ol’ 80/20 rule, but actually, apparently, it doesn’t). I like the idea of a work-type jacket with a wrapping sidesash, as though you’re taking it all seriously, but not in the way your boss meant. The person who made it works, or worked, as an Informative Security Consultant, which definitely sparked my imagination when I read her little bio. I love to think of how many of us working different jobs went home to sew jackets in the evening, just for fun, during the [tag]consistent variable project[/tag]. That girl in the little picture is one of my high school best friends, Mel. She was in town, came along, and joined in the fun. She had a pretty good time modeling, I think, but we happened to snap this one picture of her with her eyes closed when taking a shot of the room, and I thought it would be a funny way to introduce the [tag]cvp[/tag] vernissage event into the book. What I really wanted to introduce was the idea of having a party to show your friends what you made. I think this is a really important part of the project, and a crucial aspect is the model walk. Rope your friends and guests into it, play some awesome song, walk through the crowd, be looked at. Why the heck not. Make a jacket between accounting lessons and security work, hells yeah. I am interested in little and large fears and the way they trip up my communications, which is why I especially love the drawing by Thea Jones that’s on this page- the shy head, pulling a turtle move, is the other half of the more flamboyant edges of my personality (with the modeling and whatnot) and both are tangled up in how I think about my clothes. I drew Thea for the book, you can see her on the author’s page and on the cover, it doesn’t really look that much like her, but she is wearing a skirt with birds on it like she was the day I met her. I remember that particularly because she and I made plans to meet without exchanging information about how we’d recognize each other, so I called her house and the guy who answered described her outfit, in particular the bird skirt, in endearing detail.
