What I have been listening to...

FUGAZI

The last month of the year is always work, work, work, but it is usually me scrambling from one show to another, barely able to catch up. This year, although still busy, it was nice to be in the studio every day listening to my music and plugging away at orders. I have been rocking out to the Fugazi discography non-stop.

What I have reading... 

EXODUS

This book was incredible. Impeccably written, from the character development, to the research done and historical facts laid out, it is one of my top reads of 2020. It dives into the Israeli-Palestine conflict and uses fictional characters to lay out decades of struggle, hardship and hard work the Jewish community did to claim their own space in this world.

What I have watching... 

POSE

I didn’t really know what this shows’ premise was before watching, but had heard good things and was happy when it was about drag ball culture in the 1980s. I have been on Drag Show withdrawal and this show totally fills that gap, it is fun, powerful and the fashion is incredible. Highly recommend.

What I have been doing...

RELAXING

Who else does a million puzzles when winter hits? We pretty much always have one set up at my grandma’s house and her and I have been through them. As well as puzzles I have been catching up on movies, tv shows and books that were put on the back burning during Nov. and Dec.

What I have been working on... 

THRIFTING FOR 2021

Once the Canada Post deadline hit, orders slowed down and I used that time to expand my thrifting bubble and I found SO many great pieces. I am already designing a new THREADED edition for early February and I can’t wait to share it with all of you. Using existing clothing will become a big part of Copious this year and I am excited for that challenge.
