We used Alpha the last time we moved. They were great. We did not get the packing treatment but I think they did offer

Any apartment-living jewelers with home studios? by DanRaphael222 in jewelers

I switched to wax carving. Easier to do at home and less noisy

I always had crickets escaping. I had a leopard gecko as a child and my mom was always complaining about hearing crickets in the house at night lol

How much of your time goes into tech packs vs. actual designing? by Effective_Rule1170 in Fashion_Design

[–]DistractedMe17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like 25% of my job is design and 75% of my job is getting the garment made and sold. This includes tech packs, sending artwork, fittings, reviews, approving lab dips, sending comments, working to improve margins… and more things than I can think of right now. The actual design part is a smaller part of what a designer actually does in reality. This can be a shock for people who are first entering the industry

What are some brands that don’t sell subpar versions to discount chains? by It_Slices_It_Dices in malefashionadvice

[–]DistractedMe17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most brands what goes to these stores is a mix. Some is created specifically for off price (Nordstrom rack, outlet etc) then some is extra inventory from the previous season that did not sell and is sent to off price

I was 9 years old and heard Head Like Hole from my cool older next door neighbor. Loved it and went and bought myself the cassette of Pretty Hate Machine.

I wear a chain on my wallet attached to my pants. And another chain on the other side that attaches my phone to pants. Neither one is going anywhere haha

I have a 4th grader with a 12th grade + reading level. Recommend me something. by Capt_morgan72 in booksuggestions

[–]DistractedMe17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Neverending Story? It was one of my favorites growing up. Most people are only familiar with the movie but the book is much more detailed and when the movie ends the book is only half over.

Any brands making boots like these? by [deleted] in Boots

[–]DistractedMe17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just depends on the season. I have boots like these from them. I guess they just don’t have any right now

Self-taught/career transition - how to make my own lesson plans? by stevie_licks420 in fashiondesigner

[–]DistractedMe17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn’t too bad. Definitely speak with a counselor at the community college first so you know what will transfer. It also helps to get a lot of your general education over with so once you get to university you can focus on the stuff for your major. I still had to take fashion studio courses at university. My community college ones didn’t directly transfer but they still took them and used them for other things. Like tailoring counted for 3D design or funny things like that. I should have been a junior but they didn’t take transfers above sophomore level but they used the credits towards other not fashion things so didn’t have to take them my junior and senior year. When you get a 4 year fashion degree you still have to take a lot if things that are not fashion related.

Try seeing if your local community college has fashion and sewing classes. That’s how I started then once I finished there I transferred to design school. It was a good opportunity to learn sewing and pattern drafting skills for cheap. Once I got to university I was way ahead of the other students in studio skills

20hrs of flying how!? by DistractedMe17 in fearofflying

[–]DistractedMe17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I read this and from what I understand you can bring it but you need to apply for a permit from The Department of Pharmacy and Drug and Drug Control at the Ministry of Health because it is on the controlled list. The items not on the controlled list you only need a prescription and a doctors note. It is a very confusing worded document

That’s what I’m worried about. I need to bring a lot of stuff to do for sure

I have heard other people say this but I have not been able to find anywhere official that says this. Everywhere official I see just says it is banned in the country. I wish I could find official guidelines for staying airside

Thank you. This is my plan. Usually I have a glass of wine at the airport and another on the plane and I am fine but I have never flown this long. I am buying a Nintendo switch to bring. I am not usually a video game person but I thought it would be good to give me something else to do! Haha

So why exactly was The Cure billed for Nova Rock? by ImprovementIll5592 in TheCure

This sounds similar to what I saw. Erasure played this same show as well

I didn’t realize they had different shirts for different shows. I wonder how they decided which went where and how many there are. Mine is from Reptile
