First Look: Megan Fox for Armani

Megan Fox is the new spokesmodel of Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans, replacing Posh.

Showing off her toned body, the Transformers star looks smoking hot and sexy in the series of black and white shots of the Armani's 2010 campaign, starting Spring/Summer 2010. The 23-year old actress, who is replacing Victoria Beckham, was photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in Los Angeles.

I am not a Fox Fan, but the girl sure looks sexy and hot and perfect for this campaign.

soap type

I love the way letter forms look stamped into these hand-made French blocks of soap. Soap reminds me of clay, I have been wanting to stamp "gleena" into my pieces in a similar way. To do that I need to find thin type that will easily press into the clay without altering the form. Perhaps a laser-cut plastic stamp will do it?

Fixing your Wardrobe

.

Have you ever found yourself standing in front of your closet just staring at your clothes thinking 'I have nothing to wear'? Most of the girls do.

We don't know how to let go off the things, and we just pile on and on a lot of stuff, which we know deep down we are not going to wear. But somehow just the feeling of having it is an impediment in letting go off.

How many times do you see hanging before you a few items you love next to many that:
- Look out-of-date?
- Don't coordinate with anything?
- Don't fit your lifestyle?
- Make you look fat?
- Don't fit you anymore?

Moreover, your style will evolve over time and you may find garments that just ‘aren’t you’ anymore.

With the new year started, it's time we sort our wardrobe. We need to buy new items to update our wardrobes, indulge in some luxury and get something new for special occassions. But when we buy new items, we must also get rid off some old ones.

Afer all, how much stuff can we keep and manage? And we must also think that there are people out there, who maybe needing these stuff (you can give it to charity). We can put it to better use than just hanging it in our wardrobes.
.
Get rid of anything that you
- haven’t worn in the past year and you don't intend to in the future
- items that no longer fit
- items that are damaged beyond repair
- items that will never have another turn in the fashion cycle

Super model Cindy Crawford loves to buy shoes, she said that she has got about 50 pairs in her wardrobe. But she says she doesn’t keep those for long.
.

She said: "I love Jimmy Choo in particular. I’m good, though – when I get a new pair of shoes I usually get rid of an old pair.”
.
Piling on on things brings in negative energy and also reflects greed. Plus, it creates chaos in the wardrobe. So free up your house of needless clutter which will not only help you to look more polished, but will also free up more time every day when getting ready, save you from making potentially expensive mistakes in the future on ‘impulse purchases' that you would never wear and can mentally refresh and refocus your mind.

So girls, with the start of the New Year, it's time that we get rid off old times that we will not need and we will not wear. Give unwanted items to charity, give them to friends or family or sell them on eBay.

Fashionably Disastrous

We know that the celebrities have to reinventtheir styles to get an edge over others all the time and create a trend, but sometimes the pressure gets so much that they just don't realise the difference between what is style and style disaster.

One such case was with Miley Cyrus, the Hanna Montana actress. The ripped jeans, cutout t-shirt, studded boots make for an interesting look, but when the outcome is what Miley wore, certainly it is a disaster.

The look obviously is edgy but not stylish at all. This look does not really give a very good inspiration, and I hope the teens would not try to imitate it.

a very big mold

For the past few days I have been casting from a new, very large mold. It was made for me by Silvershell Ceramics, in New Bedford, MA. The mold is so large, I am unable to lift it, and have to "roll" it along the 2x4's to be able to empty out the porcelain slip (liquid clay). It takes five gallons of slip to fill up this mold.

The cast piece emerges as mold parts are removed one at a time.

The mold is made up of three pieces, two sides and a bottom.

The original vase is on the left, I hand-built it with coils a few years back. The black lines indicate the seams for making the mold pieces. The cast vase is on the right, slightly smaller, but in every other way exactly the same. As water evaporates from the clay, the piece shrinks. It will shrink again in the firings, ending up about 10% smaller than the original by the time it is glazed.
