Text of the page (random words):
project runway is always a favorite of mine you get a preview of the designers collections you get a glimpse at their lives back home and you get to see their new haircuts i reckon if i saw myself on tv my first response would be to book an appointment with my hairstylist too char is probably not going to win this season of project runway but she should get a special award for this do which i love colder months are approaching in williamsburg brooklyn and sean s winter coat is coming in nicely and we should thank the producers for keeping kini around otherwise we would never have had the chance to see tim gunn do the hula the highlight of his trip to hawaii well the highlight for us maybe more awkward contractually obligated humiliation for him back to the designers sure enough in creating their final fashion week collections they returned to this season s signatures c mon char can t you sew a slit vent or kick pleat into a fitted skirt i gave you a pass in the regular season because time was always of the essence but here in the finals not cool there was one designer however who shocked us all kini i m hoping he ll redeem himself in the next episode which inevitably will include a trip to mood a whole new look and the return of previously eliminated designers to help but for now his denim heavy preview collection was a disappointment it s like he took his least successful look of the season and built an entire collection around it amanda and sean meanwhile went the other route taking their biggest successes and then flogging them to death we ll see next week i suppose how many of you are stoked to see amanda s patchwork maxi in shades of blue and how many of you think nina will drop dead upon discovering the fact that every single piece in sean s collection has fringe posted by suzanne at 7 49 am 16 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels project runway oct 11 2014 what did we learn from project runway this week season 13 episode 12 so many of you had kind supportive words for me last week about my new gig and the struggle to balance work family responsibilities and a smidgen of personal time i appreciated your empathy and wish i could invite you all over thursday nights for the duration of this season so much so i woke up again too early for a saturday which means i have a few quiet moments to reflect on this week s episode of project runway as always have your say below the most important lesson from this week s episode of project runway can be summed up in one succinct ron swanson quote presented to you here in poster form created by the etsy genius creative sobriety this week the designers were first tasked with creating a new look from one of the previously eliminated designer s losing garments while also assigned with that designer as a helper this challenge was surely designed by devious producers determined to cause some fireworks between korina and char though char put on a good front korina huffily asked to be relieved of her contractural duties tim let her go thank you tim and alexander instead returned to help char sew her look and as if that challenge wasn t enough the designers were then asked to also create a look inspired by the streets of nyc a perennial challenge that usually results in some of the funnest fashion on project runway but their divided attention even with the aid of a previously eliminated designer sewing elf was their downfall you just can t half ass two things in the same vein i am unfortunately half assing this blog post right now my family woke up early too and now they won t stop talking to me sitting next to me reading over my shoulder it s so hard to whole ass something when there s breakfast to be prepared amanda definitely whole assed her street style maxi dress i think we can all agree it was her best work so far this season even though i shudder to think of actually walking the urine stained streets of new york in a maxi that length her re do of fade s samsung dress obviously an afterthought char meanwhile paired a printed black and white bustier with a sculptural skirt in radiant orchid i didn t really get the pocket either but the ladies do love their pockets don t they from afar her re do was pretty but up close it seemed to have maternity gathering kangaroo pouch emily s street style look was so emily i think it was successful even if heidi and nina would only deign to wear it as pajamas her re do look definitely half assed the judges said it looked like it wasn t even her which i have to agree that print is amazing though i may have to stalk the aisles of mood to secure some for next spring s sewing projects the judges loved sean s street style look this white structured blouse and skirt with cut outs and shaping i thought it was interesting how his inspiration a man wearing an all white tunic and loose pants outfit translated into this unique look i wouldn t wear it but if i saw someone pass me by wearing this in soho i would assume she worked in fashion that s usually the measure of a winning project runway look meanwhile his re do what could we expect when he had to refashion sandhya s hideous kiddie jumpsuit that color more fringe ugh moving on kini was the one designer who whole assed the re do challenge turning mitchell s failed red carpet look into this stunning gown his street style look was an unfortunate mashup a result of taking tim gunn s advice too much to heart maybe the coat looks like michael kors off the rack but it was so well done and in an unexpected fabric the judges loved it something spare underneath could have helped him win so what do you think which challenge was the more difficult one this week what happens when you try to half ass two things posted by suzanne at 7 42 am 11 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels project runway oct 4 2014 what did we learn from project runway this week season 13 episode 11 friends readers others i have a confession to make i started a new job this week and though i feel like my first few days as a full time working out of the home and commuting 3 hours daily parent was a success i wasn t the last parent at after school pickup even once and i managed to get a vegetable on my kid s plate each night for dinner ok it might have been a pickle but the bar is low after an hour and a half on the subway people i have to face the facts i don t have as much time anymore to do things like write long thoughtful posts on project runway but but luckily for you i have early morning insomnia today so i am using this quiet time to keep up my committment to you i may not have the spare minutes to spellcheck saturday mornings are now for housekeeping chores and laundry ugh but i will keep this conversation going to the bitter end if i miss something and i will please add your thoughts as usual in the comments below i read every one even if i no longer have the time to comment in return last week tim gunn declared alexander s plaid amoeba disaster the most hideous garment he has ever seen in his entire existence emphasis mine i beg to differ i can remember much worse from previous seasons of project runway but i think we can all agree that the ugliest thing to grace the runway this week was korina s horrible entitled attitude during panel if i wasn t already convinced she was a complete narcisscist well ugh as the young people say i just can t even with that girl we ll get back to her later because it s instructive to watch someone devolve into childish defensiveness i hear it s not my fault daily from a school age child so when a grown woman does the same i have to resist the urge to order a timeout for now some other lessons lesson 1 trust your instincts and thou shalt be rewarded this week s challenge combined two of my favorite reality tv shows project runway and storage wars which my husband and i watch chiefly for the thrill of treasure hunting the designers in teams of two were each given 500 fictional dollars to bid on the contents of five storage lockers which would then be used as their raw materials like storage wars they couldn t examine the contents up close and had to assess each locker s potential fabric value based on what they could see from outside the locker and lest you think these lockers would be full of end bolts and vintage trimmings they actually looked pretty much like the contents of an actual storage locker bed bugs and all i was just kidding about the bed bugs maybe who knows watch the interview segments carefully for scratching anyway like the smartest storage wars cast members the designers who looked past the big picture plasticy kids toys yuck to the singular standout items were rewarded in kind amanda spotted a psychedelic yeti painting she thought could form the base of her and kini s two look collection see it way in the back there and crazy as it seemed near the beginning of the episode that split second commitment and a bag full of soccer balls paid off for the pair i believe that model in the middle is actually being straddled by the psychedelic yeti which is weird but the graphic cropped top remains cool even on top of a hefty bag skirt meanwhile kini s soccer ball dress at right was the winning look talk about painstaking work only kini could pull off such a feat in two days the third look far left was created in the clutch after tim gunn dropped one of his extra challenge bombs on the designers and sent them to mood to make a cohesive third look lesson 2 everybody loves a lbd little blue dress if this season of project runway has a signature color it s this i love this blue i really do and i wonder how many of sean s looks in his fashion week collection will be in this shade because let s face it that dude is going to fashion week above left the judge s loved sean s coat made from one of those quilted blankets used to wrap your furnishings so they don t get scratched when your methed up movers overload the elevator i love everything quilted and blue i m actually kind of inspired to file this one away in my to make folder middle sean s winning look from the emmy red carpet challenge right char s dress she made in one hour with the help of sean smart girl when in doubt choose blue this dress ultimately defeated korina in a balls out challenge between the two which brings us to our last lesson lesson 3 a gracious loser is better than 20 smug winners i liked korina and emily s three look collection even though it did have an everything but the kitchen sink quality to it i guess it s because i love layers fall colors and covering up while still looking sexy but the judges were not into it and they singled out korina for her navaho inspired look above left which they complained she kept doing again and again so they challenged korina and char who was also in the bottom two to a sudden death fashion challenge create a whole new look in an hour from the remaining materials they had on hand it s not surprising that korina lost she spent much of that hour complaining bitterness my friends does not lend itself to creating beauty but the merits of this dress became secondary to the fact that korina is an icky human being after losing to char she couldn t leave graciously she had to have one last dig at a designer who she didn t respect pointing out that char had already been eliminated once and implying char didn t deserve to be there that was five challenges ago and i am still here char cooly replied don t you love this woman at this point tim gunn enters the room and korina attempts to make herself the victim don t make this about you she says to char girl you lucky there s a camera on me right now because i could break you tim gunn s terse it s time for you to clean up your workspace made it clear he knew exactly what kind of loser korina truly was and the reason he brought back char certainly had something to do with the fact that her character is the antithesis of korina the preview for next week s episode reveals that the previously eliminated designers will be brought back and these two women will be paired up i don t even know if i can handle watching that i am so mad on char s behalf less drama more dresses project runway producers so what did you think of this week s episode who made the best use of their storage locker contents what did you think of korina s sour grapes posted by suzanne at 8 31 am 20 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels project runway sep 28 2014 what did we learn from project runway this week episode 10 season 13 my apologies for the much delayed post but if you knew how glorious the weather in nyc has been this week you wouldn t blame me for choosing to spend the day yesterday romping around with my family instead of writing friday which is usually when i write my project runway posts was rosh hashanah and a public school holiday here so that s the other half of my rock solid excuse thanks for reading and let s get to it near the beginning of this week s episode of project runway my friend lizzi texted me to comment on how crazy were all the people who turned down the designers seeking makeover models in washington square park but by the end of the episode we both agreed we wouldn t say yes either after all would you want to be on national tv in a get up like this or have your semi private parts exposed when a zipper bursts open pre runway also if you re a project runway fan then you know the winning designer of the real person challenge never has a short stumpy model and often though it didn t happen this time someone plus size ends up in tears because there s a good reason why some of these designers are not yet a success they can t fit clothes on non model bodies and their people skills suck what if i asked lizzi via text someone ignored my bottom line and put me in a miniskirt and my cellulite was on national tv oh damn she replied what if they put me in color she only wears black gray and blue bless her heart thankfully for the designers of season 13 washington square park is the kind of place where you can find tall thin actress ballerina yoga teachers with time to spare and low expectations did the producers of project runway seed the park with the results of a regular lady casting call or are there truly that many attractive women with no prior obligations just lounging around the west village on a sunny summer day you and i will never know moving on to our lessons lesson 1 tough love from tim gunn will only get you so far one minute tim gunn is holding your hand and telling you that you are the most talented person he s ever met and in the next he s doing the gentleman s equivalent of smacking the stupid straight out of you this week alexander nearly sent this cropped top and high waisted skirt ensemble down the runway
