SCENE IDEA SECRET SOCIETY! SERIES OF ACTIONS OCCUR IN ONE SCHOOL MORNING!
PROF GLAZER- (VERY COOL BUT HIGH STRUNG GAY MALE FASHION PROFESSOR JADE IS A VERY DESERVED TEACHERS PET PROF IS HANDING BACK SKETCHBOOKS) THIS IS VERY DISAPPOINTING MID SEMESTER RESULTS. MOST OF YOU ARE TAKING ONLY FOUR CLASSES IF YOU WERE BRIGHT ENOUGH TO COME IN ON A ADVANCE PLACEMENT LEVEL FROM HIGH SCHOOL. THIS CLASS, A LIBERAL ARTS CLASS, FASHION SHOW PREPARATION & RUNWAY DESIGN & INTERNSHIP. WE ARE MOVING FASTER BECAUSE THAT IS HOW THE FASHION INDUSTRY WORKS! THE QUICKER YOU MOVE THE MORE SUCCESS YOU WILL HAVE WHEN EXPLORING MORE CONCEPTS IN THE FASHION ARTS YOU CAN'T JUST GO FOR THE PATTERNS AND SAY A LINE DRESS ANYMORE. IF YOU WANT TO WORK IN THIS INDUSTRY AND BE THE NEXT HILFIGER LOGGERFIELD OR JUST WORK FOR LANE BRYANT'S DESIGN DEPT FOR THE EFFORTS OF MAKING FAT GIRLS LOOK HOT! YOU NEED TO REALLY DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THE MOST INCONSPICUOUS MUSE. I KNOW I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE I GOT MY FIRST JOB IN THE FALL OF 97 AT KENNETH COLE! I SEE JADE DID THAT IN HER FIRST ASSIGNMENT SKETCHES FOR THIS CLASS & IN HER MIDTERM WORK. WE ARE JUST READING THE BOOKS MEMORISING FACTS GETTING A'S IN THAT ASPECTS, BUT FAILING IN THE CREATIVITY. YOU USE BOTH TOGETHER! YOU HAVE NO PASSION! (HOLD'S UP HER SKETCH PAD & SHOWS THE CLASS HER WORK) TAKE JADE'S SAFARI FALL WEAR. THERE IS AN ANIMAL LIKE PATTERN IN HER DRAWINGS, SCREAMING: SENSESUEL STALKING PREY FOR MY SEXUAL ATTRACTION DRIVES ME (JADE SINKS IN SEAT) VERY GOOD JADE! HOWEVER, EVERYONE ELSE NEEDS TO REFER TO WHAT WAS TAUGHT IN FASHION COURSES 1-7. USE THOSE BIG THINGS THAT ARE CALLED BOOKS & RESEARCH TIME PERIODS. COMBINE IT WITH THOSE FORCES OF NATURE CONCEPTS, THE THEME OF OUR GRADUATING CLASSE'S FASHION SHOW. WHICH WILL BE ATTENDED BY SOME REPRESENTATIVES OF TOP DESIGNERS IN THIS INDUSTRIES. BY THE WAY JADE, (SMILES) IDUWAH SENDS REGARDS! WHEN I WORKED FOR KENNETH COLE WE DID A LINE CALLED LILY'S IN WINTER. I SPENT MANY DAYS FREEZING MY BUT OFF DRIVING THROUGH UPSTATE NEW YORK'S CATSKILL MOUNTAINS AND TAKING SNAPSHOTS OF SNOW COVERED GROUNDS IN FROZEN WATER LILIES FOR INSPIRATION. THE RESULT WAS NOTHING SHORT OF THE MOST AMAZING PHOTO SPREAD & SCENIC DESIGN OF MY ENTIRE CAREER. IT WAS BREATHTAKING ORIGINAL & AWARD WINNING WORK. COSMO NEVER FEATURED ANYTHING LIKE IT EVER AGAIN. IT ALL HAPPENED BECAUSE I LET THAT INCONSPICUOUS MUSE SET IN!
(QV RAISES HAND)
PROF-(drawl) YES QV?
QV- WHY DON'T YOU WORK FOR KENNETH COLE ANYMORE?
PROG- IN SHORT, AFTER MY 2ND HEART ATTACK IN 2007 & A FEW MONTHS OF FRESH AIR IN PRIVACY & TALK THERAPY AT A PRIVATE SWISS RETREAT. MY THERAPIST AND I DECIDED THAT THE ADDICTIVE INSOMNIA & LACK OF SPARE TIME WHERE THE CAUSE. WE ALSO, CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT TEACHING MIGHT PROVE TO BE MORE: RELAXING THERAPEUTIC & REWARDING. HE WAS WRONG!
ON A THAT NOTE BACK TO REALITY!
ALL STUDENTS WILL GET ONE MANNEQUIN AND ONE DESIGN TO SHOW FOR THE GALLERY, CHOSEN BY MOI & OTHER DEPARTMENT STAFF. ONLY 6 OF YOU WILL BE ALLOWED TO HAVE DESIGNS MADE & RUNWAYED FOR THE SHOW. THIS YEAR IT IS LOOKING PRETTY SLIM PICKINGS. WHICH IS WHY WE ARE HAVEING 4 WEEKS OF A REFRESHER COURSE. IT IS MIDSEMESTER & I AM GIVING EVERYONE AN EXTRA TWO WEEKS TO TAKE BACK YOUR DESIGNS READ MY NOTES & MAKE IMPROVEMENTS. THAT WAY THIS YEARS FASHION SHOW DOES NOT GO DOWN AS THE WORST IN CAMPUS HISTORY. EXTENSIONS ON YOUR FINAL DESIGNS AS WELL. BY THE LAST DAY OF CLASS YOU MAY HAND THOSE IN FOR FINALE GRADES!! THE FASHION SHOW IS THE EVENING OF THE LAST DAY OF CLASSES. YOUR DESIGNS UP TO MID SEMESTER ARE THE ONES THAT WILL BE CONSIDERED. WHY! (SARCASTICALLY) THE MEASUREMENTS NEED TO BE MADE, FABRIC SEWN & MODELS MADE BELEMIC TO BE APPEALING FRAMES FOR YOUR BRILLIANT IDEAS.
BRYCE- ( RAISES HANDS) PROFESSOR,
PROFG. - (annoyed)YES MR BRYCE
BRYCE- WHAT HAPPENS IF YOUR DESIGNS DON'T GET PICKED.
PROFG.- WELL, A FEW THINGS, GRADUATE STUDIES, THERE YOU WILL DRAW MORE & COME UP WITH A BETTER FASHION SENSE OR CHANGE YOUR MAJOR ALL TOGETHER SO YOU HAVE A CHANCE OF POST GRAD EMPLOYMENT. REMEMBER THE DEVIL WORE PRADA NOT (LOOKS AT SOME STUDENTS SHOES) NO FRILLS USA! (PAUSES IN FRONT OF A BOWL OF BANANAS) BACK TO BASICS, (PICKS UP A BANANA) SEE THIS BANANA! IT IS GOING TO BE YOUR TICKET TO A NEW OUTLOOK. I TAKE THIS BANANA AND PEEL IT ( PEELS IT HALF WAY) THEN OBSERVE IT. AFTER THAT I CUT A PIECE OFF & THEN I TAKE ANOTHER BANANA & CUT IT IN HALF. THEN I PEEL( SPEAKS AS SCENE FALLS TO JADE WHO WATCHES AS PROF GOES OFF ON THE FRUIT) THE NEXT ONE I SLICE IT UP. THEN ANOTHER BITE IT, THEN ANOTHER I PICK UP & SQUASH IT. I TAKE MY CROQUE SKETCH ( 3 FEET CROQUE OUTLINE IS POSTED TO THE BLACKBOARD HE STARTS SHMEARING THE FRUIT ON IT GETS REALLY EXCITED IN HIGH STRUNG MANNER) AND SHMEAR IT ALL OVER. AS I THINK " HOW CAN I MAKE THESE TWO WORLDS BECOME ONE?!"
(NOW IT IS AFTER CLASS, SOME STUDENTS FILE OUT & JADE APPROACHES THE PROFESSOR THERE IS A MODEL WEARING A DRESS INSPIRED BY A BANANA SHE IS SMILING AS STUDENTS STARE AT HER IN AMAZEMENT)

JADE- OK (HESITATES) UH, ANOTHER THING IS IT POSSIBLE FOR A CAMPUS TO HAVE SOME SORT OF UNDERGROUND SECRET SOCIETY?
PROFG.- HERE, AT FREEMAN COLLEGE. (LAUGHS) HONEY YOU HAVE BEEN WATCHING TOO MUCH TV. ACTUALLY, WHEN I WAS IN COLLEGE AT NIGHT I SWORE I HEARD THE SOUNDS OF A TRIANGLE PLAYING AND THEN MY ROOMMATE WOULD LEAVE. I WOULD WAKE UP TO A FREE COFFEE AND DOUGHNUT BREAKFAST. I THINK HE HAD A CRUSH ON ME!
JAD- YEAH, MY QUESTION IS SILLY. UM, THANKS FOR MY NOTES. I WILL LOOK INTO TALKING TO THE HAIR & MAKEUP STUDIO IN THE THEATRE DEPT TO ADDRESS THESE THINGS FOR MODELS.
PROFG.- GOOD, JADE YOU REMIND ME ALOT OF ME IN SCHOOL. IT HAPPENS VERY RARELY, BUT EVERY 2 YEARS I GET A KID WHO IS GOING TO WORK IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY IN THE BACKGROUND ASPECTS, EVERY 4 YEARS A STUDENT OF MINE WILL WORK IN THE TECHNICAL DESIGN ELEMENTS OF FASHION IN TERMS OF MAGAZINE SPREADS, FASHION SHOOTS & RUNWAY DESIGN. EVERY 6 YEARS I GET A KID WHO IS GOING TO BE ABLE TO DRAW FASHION FOR THE INDUSTRY & MAKE A LIVING! YOUR THAT KID JADE, KEEP YOURSELF FOCUSED THE WAY YOU DO & I GUARANTEE YOU, YOUR NAME IS GOING IN THE RUNWAY SHOW PROGRAM THIS YEAR AS A DESIGNER.
