Creativity

It is not a lack of creativity that holds me back. It is fear of failure and looking ridiculous. This being how I see myself, one would wonder that if I could come back as any designer, it would be the outrageously creative Mr. John Galliano. Eversince I saw his C.D. fashion show in the train station in Paris I was smitten. What skill and sheer audacity. Where can you buy this. I blame my mother(don't we all) for my inability to go into the public without confidence. Eversince she forbade my going uptown in the 60's in my Toronto get-up of black lisle stockings and a sleeveless sweater, both way too outrageous for the area, I have had to build up the belief that I have a right to be as artsy looking as I please. Going out today......oh, dear. What to wear to the local fabric store.
