Howdie doodle....
I've spent this weekend gone re-making someone's Starwars fancy dress outfit (white lycra) and starting on my front zipper zentai. Unfortunately due to the suppliers telling porky-pies (lies) about which way the stripes went i'm a bit fuuuuubard with the hood. But i'm having a think and probably will involve some crafty cuts and stitching from me..
Anyway, I should have plugged this much sooner, but I've been (and still am) in limbo for a while.
I'm life modeling in all 3 of my zentai: blue, black, zebra, tonight. I know it's far too late notice, but hey...at least i've said something :-P
Linkie: Meetup - Zebra Zentai Tour Venue 2: City Arts & Music Project (CAMP)
Mainly for illustrators, cartoonists and all other manner of media types come and have a drink and draw various performers/actors in various "stop motion" poses from 1 min to 15 mins...
Here's the blurb:
On November 24 we were hosted at Th1ng animation company. Now we're continuing Cartoon Fig on Tour with a series at a Hoxton café bar / club the City Arts and Music Project (CAMP). Only 5 minutes walk from Old Street tube, it's right at the heart of the streets where crucial art (Banksy?!) really happens.
Modeling, we have local performance artist Anansie in her own Zebra Zentai creations: stripes are strong for this session.
Also, still on offer from Claudio the music programmer at CAMP - we can put together our own music if we want to. If you have anything to offer on this comment under the event on this page.
NEW: Students who book on this site - I'll give you £2.50 back on the night if you bring your student card (nb no refunds if you cancel tho).
* To recognise me at the venue - I look like this http://www.meetup.com...
* 2 hour session.
* Opportunity to draw performance artist in dynamic 1min - 15min poses and 'stop motion' poses.
* After the session drinks / food / check out each other's drawings.
To Bring
'Clean' art materials like pencils, crayons, felt tips and your own paper.
My other mac is being annoying so I don't have time to show you the current state of my stripey "catsuit" (that's what it is...for now) I'll probably up it later on this evening.
Also, I shall be DJing in my stripey wonder this week Friday 14th May at Bar Vinyl in Camden. Then again on the 22nd May at Rhythm Factory in Whitechapel.
Fun! I think a video is due, yes?
*hugs n stuff*

And a month goes by...
Hey, Hi!!
It's been ages! (well it feels like it for me) since I've given this blog some loving.
I've not forgotten it! Oh no no no. Just wondering what to do with it. Since I made my blue zentai (even though i never finished the hood) I've had queries about whether I make them or not.
Now...I DO make them...but right now I'm just testing out a few kinks, and some fabrics and such before I come out shouting at the top of my lungs I make them.
Anyway, I got this awesome teeny tiny mini-video record (seriously it's the height of my thumb and about the same width too!) and thought I'd record what I get up to when sewing and such.
The only thing I'm wondering is...whilst sewing and such in zentai is fun, especially if it's really cold in the room, it's not practical in the long scheme of things. I had time with the blue suit (kinda): I don't really have that kinda time to phaff around now.
So, if you saw who I really was...would that ruin it for you??
Hugs n stuff (it's getting warmer, yay!)

Men Who Love Lycra @ Dailybeast
I got alerted to this blog post/article on the Daily beast about zentai and people who love them.
I was interviewed a while back in February (I was going to keep quiet about it till they released it, but they did so after my month was up) by Will Doig about my view on zentai.
The Weird World of Zentai
What really gets me is the views at the bottom. It pretty much optimizes the shallow-blinkered and brainwashed society at large. Just because we choose a different material which is actually a celebration in cloth technology (let that one marinade for a second) and actually MAKES SENSE. We are labeled "weak" and unable to accept ourselves.
Quite the contrary. Sure for some it will be a booster to who they are, but never a repressive entity.
If being an adult (Life 1.0) means misery and the idea of "fun" deleted from our memory banks, I'll choose "Life: Forever Young Edition" Ta.
