Art and Life and Life and Art and Cat Wilson

    You know how art imitates life and life imitates art? We can probably agree that reality television represents that better than anything else. One example could be the gold iPhone5 I want my parents to buy me. (hi mom, call me!) Once I have that phone, I’m really going to feel like a Kardashian. But is Kourtney also going to feel like me? Yes. And there you have it. Art and life and life and art and me and the Kardashians. While I can’t think of a better way to spend my day then with one of the most wholesome families on TV, I actually can.  Like with this little family right here.
    And we spend all kinds of time together. But sometimes we don’t. Like one time, when I got home from all of the cool things I go out and do and Annie got back from Bops, we arrived to Cat eating soup from McAlister’s in the most casual way- as if the skirt she made on a whim hadn’t just won a fashion show. I knew she was making a skirt and I knew she was going to a fashion show but she forgot to communicate that the skirt was being entered into the fashion show. I did get a Snapchat shortly after the runway debut but that is not how you announce a life changing Tuesday night FYI. At the very least Gram it- I mean c’mon.
     Anyway. That was December. This is now. What does this all mean? It means that Cat not only won a dress form to take home to dress up and play jokes on Annie with (slash use to sew if you’re into that sort of thing) but her work is prominently displayed on the second floor of the Student Union. Naturally upon finding out where the skirt is displayed, Annie and I ventured through the cold to celebrate and take pictures with out her.

                                      
     Wow. Look at that draping and shape and other words I’m making up because I don’t know anything about sewing. And the perfect seams. And the hidden pocket- every girls dream.

     As soon as we saw Cat's name donning her work, we decided she didn't deserve all the credit. I mean, technically she does, but we're her roommates and we've probably encouraged her at some point so Annie fashioned (pun) our own award. Relax, it only enhances the room.
     So sometimes Cat watches Project Runway, and sometimes she lives it. Also I remind myself of the host, Heidi Klum. So it’s like I said- art and life and life and art and me and Heidi Klum.
