Yeah… I probably should’ve tested out of those courses. But they were good for my ego on critique days!

Wow. I just took a look at the Etsy shop for these because I saw some comments on my previous post about how these were too expensive.
You know what? $758.00 dollars for a dress like this is not expensive at all. That’s actually quite cheap. This is entirely hand-made.  Consider all the work that went into this, all the hours spent on each dress.  I think the artist is actually really underselling herself.
I’d venture a guess that it’s because people are so used to going to the local Target/Forever 21/Wet Seal and picking up a dress for $25. The reason those clothes are so cheap is because they use cheap materials (hello, jersey), cheap factory labor in China, and only pay their retail employees minimum wage.
Granted, being one of those impoverished employees, I’m glad to be able to shop in Target’s clearance section for clothing, because most of the time, I can’t even afford that $25 dress until it’s marked down to $6.48. (And I wear plus sizes, which means my clothing options are even more sparse.) But I certainly don’t expect to get a handmade, one of a kind dress like this for the same price.

Did this last month and kind of forgot about it, so I didn’t post it anywhere until now. ^_^;; Years ago, I designed the program for my sister’s wedding, as well as the cover art. Awhile back, one of my sister’s friends contacted me to commission art for her own wedding program, and here we are.

XO Jane: Suck It, Food Guilt Season
You don’t need to feel guilty for what you choose to eat, and you have nothing to make up for, and no reason to apologize. You don’t need to make self-deprecating jokes about how whatever you are eating will go straight to your thighs and you’ll need to spend extra time on the stairmaster to be virtuous again.
You don’t need to titter and say “Well, maybe just a little bit more” when someone offers something you want to eat. Nor do you need to apologize when you don’t really want to eat any of Auntie Susan’s sweet potato casserole because you can’t stand marshmallows; it’s totally fine to say “I’m good, thanks.”

Today’s comic actually went up on time, thanks to its simplicity.
But I’m not gonna lie. There are some tear stains on the pencils for this one.
