Store Update!
I've got a few more items up on Binary Catfish Meta-Fashion!
A retro Ribkoff yachting outfit:
A zebra with attitude:
And a pair of fantastic cardigan sweaters! One is super-snuggly mohair, and the other is a perfect-for-spring cotton :D
Going to have a few more accessories going up in the days to come!

PatternReview Contests - Vintage Pattern 2011 and Knock-Off 2011
I've still got a few days to think about it, but I'm considering entering one or two of May's contests on PatternReview, seeing as how I have a sewing machine at my disposal for a couple weeks. Besides, I love having new clothes, and new clothes for cheap is even better! This way, I can tailor the season's trends to my own tastes and budget.
Spring Fashions I Want to Wear (Part 1)
I think I'm going to start a series to keep me posting more often. Here's some goodies I LOVE and can totally make so I can stop drooling and start strutting :D

IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE! IT'S HERE!
My very own WEBSITE! Courtesy of Weebly, may I please present:
Binary Catfish Meta-Fashion
YAY! It's small and simple, but hey, I used a free site-builder and made it ALL BY MYSELF!
I finally got some photos taken of my creations that are worthy of a for-sale website, but it was quite the challenge! I can't model and take photos at the same time, and my lovely boyfriend showed surprising non-camera-savvy patience with the whole process. I still have to get my logo finished in digital form, but all I really need is some cute girls to wear my clothes, and other (or the same) cute girls to BUY my clothes :D

Gender Perception -> Perception of Self -> Clothing as Perception Filter
Recently, Peter of Male Pattern Boldness wrote about the phenomenon of men who dress as women. As often happens, reading the comments to this particular entry got me thinking of my own experiences, my own psychology, and the extrapolations I can make.
I was often mistaken for a boy. That's not to say I hated clothes! I LOVED clothes and picked my own outfits right from kindergarten. Mother took me second-hand shopping on a regular basis, which was so inexpensive that only my favourite outfits were preserved against rambunctious play. I was in a tree or playing with G.I. Joes more often than I played with Barbies or My Little Ponies, once my brother was old enough to do "cool" things with me. As a 12 yr old girl, I was "one of the boys" and that's the reason I got a mushroom cut; it was cool on boys, so why not! Right up to age 14, most of my friends were boys, or girls who didn't care to be "girly." Then I suddenly found myself saddled with a woman's body... Fascinating at first, but now that I'm nearly 27, it's a bizarre simpatico between comfortable and tiresome!
