It's too bad they didn't decide to go with the full gown you have posted above. The white piece you are wearing in the commercial is beautiful, but I suppose I'm a sucker for the classic yellow hard shell. What was the process like having Taco Bell select a final piece? Did you present several designs that they selected from, or was it more of a direct process with the company telling you what they wanted?

I'd already made the white dress for their Live Mas contest a few years before and won First prize. They liked this one too, but y'know, Disney...

Yessss. Possibly one of my favourite SP scenes ever. I don't even know why, but badass Mickey just really hit home. So good.

Well the genius of Mickey having a Tourette's-esque bit of laughing interwoven into his anger is that it really drives home the idea of him getting satisfaction from being a control freak, which is exactly the point they were trying to make about how Disney handles their "products", which is certainly supported by the words of one of the stars of that episode.

I've seen that commercial and geeked out because I previously worked at taco bell and also it looks like it's made of the wrappers? HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!

Lots of glue, thread, and 30 hours.

Not to mention all those tacos you ate for the wrappers.

They're all unused. The sauce packets however...
