A New Era.
Hi everyone! First off, thanks for following and supporting my blog. It’s been a wonderful inconsistent experiment for us.
The Liminal Caterpillar has finally become a butterfly, its time to move on and grow a new blog: Adventure On.
Please go check out Adventure On and follow me there. I will be documenting a new adventure every week.
You’re all wonderful and if you have leads on adventures,…

Music < Cheap Clothing Since the debut of Napster and the free sharing of music we, as a society, have been debating the value of music.
The Slip I own many adorable dresses, however said dresses are very short and cheeky. So the other day I had a great idea to throw on a lace slip underneath my dress - the lacy end peaked out from under the bottom hem.
Five for Friday
I don’t have a work schedule. Each week is nothing like the next except my normal Thursday 11-3pm shift. Other than that events and a variety of other aliments effect my day to day. Because of this it is really difficult to stay motivated. I’m a person of schedule and discipline. I’m good with change, but this is a whole other world of change. So what are five ways to NOT procrastinate? I’ll be…

Trashion Fashion began four years ago with one show in Hartford, Connecticut.
Mission Statement: “Trashion Fashion is a community-driven event that inspires and creates awareness through recycled design. We strive to inspire our audience to reduce, reuse and recycle by providing thought provoking entertainment and providing access to environmentally conscious vendors.”
I was still attending college and the show always fell on a Saturday during our Spring Fling drunken celebration. I never made it to the three shows that were held during my college career. However, as soon as I graduated and saw promotion for the 2014 show I contacted Amy immediately hoping to get involved. Happily surprised, I was invited to their meetings and became part of a talented and passionate group of dancers, artists and environmentally aware individuals.
The 2014 show would begin in Hartford, move to D.C. and finish up in Brooklyn. I worked with Ashley, the model coordinator and I was the designer coordinator for all three shows. I joined the team in February and we just finished the New York show on May 31st; wow what an experience and journey it has been. I’ve done many fashion shows, but none like this before. You can check out my experience in Hartford here, but I’d like to focus on the awesome New York show for this post.
There was a promotional event in Grand Central on Earth Day I could not make it to , but I made it to the High Line promotional event. We had the dancers and models as still mannequins scattered around the highline. We had such a gorgeous day and great promotion for the event. Many of the designs featured at this event are made by Amy Merli, Rachel DeCavage of EverGreen Design Co. and Skraptacular.
Two weeks later we all gathered in Brooklyn in the Navy Yard. The NYC Trashion show was to take place in the Brooklyn Grange, a rooftop garden 12 stories up with the best view of Manhattan I’ve ever seen – Empire State building, bridges and every thing you could ask for. The garden was in fully fledged – you could see radishes, clover, lettuces and other delicious veggies. Sunflowers were getting tall and the raised beds were getting new seeds.

Nina Salazar worked hard with her assistant to get the recycled set redesigned to fit underneath the tents. The set was completely beautiful and a necessity to this show. Melted and crushed CDs, plastic tubing and a variety of mysterious trashy components were combined to create these structures.

Once the models had their hair done up and faces painted we took them upstairs to the garden to show them the runway. By then the the structures were all assembled and set-up and vendors were arriving. There were some tasty treats provided by Vspot, a vegan Latin restaurant and some Kombucha provided by Beyond Kombucha.
At 6pm the doors opened and the garden came alive with the sunset and event attendees. Press from all over: The Post, CBS, NBC and bloggers crowded the rooftop to interview and snap photos. Designers and the head coordinators of the event gave short speeches talking about the importance of a sustainable life style. Sadly I missed this, but I heard there were some important facts and great passionate stories and energy.
8pm the runway began. Music provided by Astrid and we began with the models in heels. I sent the models out through the garden, under water tanks and Ashley sent them down the runway. We continued onto the models in barefoot and finished with the ballerina en Pointe, who had more of a creative runway. It was a beautiful and successful event – what a way to finish the season on a rooftop garden. It was a long journey, but an energizing and educational journey.

When All Else Fails...Garden
When All Else Fails…Garden
I grew up on an animal farm in upstate NY.Its an egg and beff farm, but my grandparents had a huge garden full of vegetables for the family. I remember growing up and playing with my cousins. We would take the overgrown zucchini and squash which could way up to ten pounds and pretend they were dolls or animals. Talk about innovation right? Even though I grew up surrounded by fresh produce I never…

Kimbra took the American Music Charts by storm with her collaboration with Gotye in Somebody I Used To Know. I wonder, what happened to Mr. Gotye? I adored his album out at the same time as the well-known single and many of the songs accompanied beautiful stop motion animations, I haven’t heard anything recently about him.. However, Kimbra continued to blossom into larger successful with her…

Half Way
When I’m overwhelmed I use the onomatopoeia ‘woof”. I will either write out “woof” or will say the word “woof”. No actual barking is taking place.
So I made it half-way I’ve done at least 10 of the 20 posts I promised I would finish in 20 days. I have not posted every day for 20 days in a row. I haven’t even posted 10 posts in 10 days, which is okay with me. I’m successfully exploring my…

Five For Friday: Recent Releases
I’ve always felt the best hit songs and best albums come out around this time of year. Why? Because everyone is just happier, so supplying great and new music just adds onto the uplifting experience that Spring presents New England and the rest of winterized America. The additional adventure element of Summer Break and Festival Season is the cherry on top of a fun-filled opportunity for any new…

Water access is something that many of us take for granted. I didn’t realize how serious of a problem finding clean water is around the world until a couple of years ago. I traveled to India with an Engineers Without Borders program as part of the sociology team. I traveled around two small farm towns with a translator to find out from the community what was needed to get clean water. The…

“The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.” ― Chuck Palahniuk, Invisible Monsters
Is it a game or not? I’m talking about the game of chance. Guess I answered my own question. As I prepare for a night on the neighborly Indian Reservation with some friends I contemplate the idea of wasting a couple of bucks on tables. But the more important idea this evening has me…

Hartford Trashion Fashion
There are certain things that have become habit while producing shows. Before each show I always purchase Terra Chips as my meal during event day. I also always wear some form of heeled show while the event is running; all the events I’ve produced so far involve an element of fashion, so while running a fashion show I find it not only polite to everyone else at the event but a necessity to wear…

This is not a marketing post.
I’ve been arguing with myself for months. Should I delete Facebook should I not? Well I haven’t made any movement in either direction until yesterday. Yesterday I downloaded all my favorite photos, created a spreadsheet of important Facebook contacts and pages. I planned on deleting my account today. There are two things holding me back. First, is the job giving my…

All My Friends Are Cacti
My first cacti was a bulbous green spiky plant. Not the hairy old woman type; the ones with barely any spikes or hairs at all. I got it at a local county faire, happily carried it home. Looking forward to a sharing a couple of my years with it. However, this poor little fellow lasted about 3 weeks before it collapsed into a withering heap of mold. It was really gross and I was so sad as I…

The Missing Link
I experienced a couple of days without Internet. Its amazing to realize how something so simple can break down a situation. The lack of Internet prevented me from multiple things and it made me so angry. Looking back I am shocked at how angry I was at the lack of Internet – now that it has returned (to my open arms I must add) it seems silly. However, at those moments, those couple of evenings…
