While making The Horror (our art thingy):
1) Never make the arse so big in a pathetic attempt to make the figure curvy, so that it can be identified as a female.
2) Baby blue never really goes well with anything.
3) ... Including white. Because it looks like a hospital gown.
4) For the boys' supposed perverted-ness, you'd think they'll care about the proportion of the female body.
5) In art projects such as fashion design, it is unadvisable to work with boys, unless they happen to be world-class fashion designers.
6) Never look at the chest flat-on - it looks better from the side.
7) Paper mache is a highly stupid method for making marionettes. In our case, anyway.
8) Armpits, boobs, shoulders and legs' length that are unproportionate really gets your work cut out for you when you attempt to design something nice.
9) Never sew an outfit and attempt to ram it up a model. It won't work, unless the model in question is just wire. That's why barbie's clothes have the wonderful invention called velcro.
10) Face actually matters. A fugly face tends to spoil the effect of a dress, no matter how well designed.
11) I remain convinced that male models are easier to make, except that their clothes would be a pain to sew on.
12) I have a newfound respect for the manufacturers of barbie, as well as fashion designers. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LOVELY LOVELY CLOTHES.
13) I now understand why clothes cost a bomb
14)...But that doesn't mean I accept it.
