dancing to havana



I dressed the other night and just felt like dancing, so I plopped this together quickly.

general update:
So I've been working on new pads for a while now. I live in a situation where I don't have a ton of privacy, so I can't work on them as much as I'd like, but I've basically been carving away at foam for the past 2 months. I have an idea about how I'd like to make the pads, but as I've been working on them I'm realizing I've made a ton of mistakes so far. So I'll probably start over again once I get the ones I'm working on completed.

It's been a real education in terms of working with materials and realizing that I'm not a sculptor and I'm not the best with human anatomy, but I'm certainly getting better at it! But in the last couple weeks I've had a number of hours to work on the pads. The pads are basically broken into two parts: front and back. The back piece is about 90% done (which is what I'm wearing in the video) the front piece is about 50% there and I'm hoping I'll get a trial run wearing both in the next few weeks. I'll post up pictures and videos if/when I do.
