realized I never even got around to adressing
*your* post. It's been all me, me, me. ;^p I
think, like you said, that you're still adjusting to
the creative rush you had, and I think if you
wait a while you'll get back to normal soon.
And perhaps if you must create something
and you haven't found any fashion design
classes or groups, you could just find a
project to work on (I'd automatically suggest
collecting Barbie dolls and repainting them,
and I'm sure LaZorra would do the same, but
that's just us).

I think that I hit on the wrong thing that was
missing. I've come to realize that my creativity
will never leave me....it's the oppurtunity to
perform for an audience that is fleeting. I
realized this after I had grilled the umpteenth
person on what their favourite part was, or
what their thoughts on the show were. I
mean, everyday, if I wear an item of clothing
that I've created, hundreds of people see it,
and probably about 2 people (one or both
probably being a relative) will actually
comment on it. With something like a fashion
show, I KNOW that people have seen it, either
like it, or don' t like it. Very few will leave
feeling indifferent about a garment. In
everday, we notice dress....but don't
necessarily judge it in the same way. So, I
suppose it's not creativity that is put onto the
back burner, it's my need to show off. Not that
this is necessarily going to be put on the back
burner.....I'll just have to use my creativity and
figure out another way to do it!!
