Swap-O-Rama-Rama & Scott Pilgrim/Smashing Pumpkins Mishaps

Had a super awesome time at 2011 South Florida Swap-O-Rama-Rama!
Met a lot of really great people. Didn't get to meet Wendy but hopefully will sometime. Thanks to "the bubble" IWAN Concept Production Facility for letting us have this even at their rockin' place. Thanks to all the volunteers who really made this thing happen. Thanks to T2T for providing us with all your supplies and support! Ahhhhh! Just a big thank you to all that came and participated too. Thanks to all the fan! Hahaha! I love you!
Check out the video created by Jackie Smith here!

Pillow Case/Dress Shirt Skirt
 Some of the things I made were shiny purple sequins pants from a ball gown, a tank top out of a striped polo shirt, and a super cute skirt made out of 2 mens dress shirts and a pillow case!

Awesome group of friends!

And now, for this funny little thing that happened to me while at SORR. While standing around and having a conversation there was a small voice from behind me that asked, "Hey! Is that a Scott Pilgrim tattoo on your back?" I said "No, that is a Smashing Pumpkins tattoo. It's their logo from back in the 90's."

Now, this person probably has no idea who the Smashing Pumpkins are. And yes, now I am realizing my old age because of this. It also took me to the next day to realize why he asked that. Cuz, in the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Michael Cera wears several different shirts with this old Smashing Pumpkins logo on it. It never even dawned on me that the initials were the same. I like to tell people that these initials to me mean "Sweety Pie" ;)

(and if you really want to feel old then ask Veezie Lu about the story on how she had to explain who Nirvana is to a 19 year old kid. you know who you are Johnny!)

Anyways, stay tuned to another post about where I'll be vending in the South Florida area!
