__EOTC week reflection __

We had EOTC week in week 5 term 1. I really injoyed the rock climbing. I now know that the lava caves on Rangitoto don't actually have liquid lava in them. I thought they would have real hot lava and I was scared.On Thursday night we slept in the school hall. We did night time orienteering. It was fun. It was scary down in the gully.I learnt a very important live skill from the first aid course. It' s CPR!!!

Though British fashion designer Alexander McQueen is no longer with us, his legacy continues to live on. It was quite apparent in Kate Middleton's elegant [|ivory and white satin wedding dress]designed by his former assistant Sara Burton and now in this gummy bear dress that was crafted as a unique tribute to the designer for the inauguralcover of Twelv, a magazine dedicated to fashion, music, art and culture, that made its debut in May 2012.

The brainchild of the magazine's editor - fashion designer Hissa Igarashi and his assistant Sayuri Marakumi, the stunning gown was inspired by Alexander McQueen's 'Parrot Dress' , a vibrantly colorful gown that met with the approval of even the most ruthless fashion critics when it was unveiled by the designer, as part of his Spring/Summer collection in 2008.

As you can imagine creating this gummy bear replicawas no easy task. The two designers began by building a dress frame using steel wire, which they then covered with a sheet of vinyl. After that began the painstaking work of hand-gluing each and every one of the 50,000 pieces of candy in a perfect rainbow colored order, a task that took them about three weeks.

As you can see, the end result was a stunning piece of art that weighed a whopping 220 pounds and took three men to lift. While not quite ideal for a party, it did look good enough to devour!
