Hi y'allWe're fresh back from Wellington. Took the kids to see WoW (the 2010 World of WearableArt Awards Show). In a word: Spectacular!
It's described in the program as: "a stunning exhibition of creativity, bringing to life artworks designed for the human form". No exaggeration. This is definitely not your average runway show, and aside from the models and their incredible garments, the performers were also so compelling that at times I found myself torn as to what to look at and where to look! We were glued to our chairs for the entire two hour show. We're still leafing through the program and whispering WOW! at various photos.
Loved the "Bizarre Bra" section -- the fact that some of the bras were modelled by guys was a special treat ;-). And another favorite was the "Illumination Illusion" section, featuring garments that self-illuminate to enhance or alter their appearance.
We weren't allowed to take photos, but here's a link to the 2010 WoW winners for you to check out. Not a patch on the real thing, unfortunately. Here's hoping that one day Montana take the show on tour.
But enough rambling on about our holiday. This year seems to be sliding past at the rate of knots, as we say in New Zealand. It's October tomorrow (tomorrow!!!) and in just two months my first full-length novel will be released with Red Sage. WOOT!
I just got the final cover proof through for From The Ashes so I thought I'd share it with you:
I know I'm biased but IMHO, Red Sage give seriously gooood cover.

And thanks for the cover-love, ladies. Bit of a mission to get a guy with shoulder-length hair but I think it might just have been worth the effort ;-) Oh, and did I mention he was an alien? With some interesting er, extras?
