bragging...

cause i'm super cool (and super obsessed):



if you can't read that, i'm ranked #9 (tied for 8th) in the fantasyrunway high score thing right now. i'm also #9 (tied for 8th) in the BPR league and #6 (or tied for 4th) in the Project Rungay league. haha! i don't know that this really means anything, but hey, i'm in the top 10 on all three. and i havent even been doing all that well (til last night when the only thing I missed was best hair).

just thought i'd mention it. now back to chiapas....

shocking similarities

is it just me, or does she look like addison shepherd from grey's? i guess private practice now.



but still. shocking similarity. i think it's just in that photo though.

no way kate walsh is making that face.

(thanks prungay boys for prunway photos)

prunway night!

i love prunway i love prunway i love prunway!

and i totally guessed tonight's winner and loser on fantasy runway! i'm sooooo good.

spoilers below - sorry krb!

Not that I agreed with the winner - none of them did remarkably well, but i would have chosen kevin, i think. In fact, i agree that this is the hardest challenge they've had so far and i think they all failed rather miserably at doing anything original. but, you know what, making men's wear is very very very difficult - there's no room for forgiveness. in women's wear, if something doesn't fit right, take off the sleeve, add a belt, drape a little, and you can make it work. you don't have to be able to fit a crotch or set a sleeve. but men's wear requires all of that. so for the fact that no one went down that runway without pants or topless, cheers to them! especially considering that they had to do something dressy - a knit shirt wouldn't have been so difficult to whip together (see eliza), but dress shirts and sports coats .... well, they take time. especially if you havent done them before, dont have a mannequin with arms.

anyways, carmen was too ambitions and just failed. had either of those pieces worked, she might have saved herself. but both were ridiculously sad. jack - not so exciting and far too many stripes for my taste, but congratulations on the nice bias pockets and button placket!

don't really remember many in the middle, but i'm very happy that sweet pea stayed and i think that there were a couple others that should have been out there for bottom three, had things been otherwise....

how i've missed you

it's everything i remembered, everything that has been missing! well, okay, not quite everything, but so goooooooooooood.

i'll comment later, for those wonderful west coast people who haven't seen it yet/my friends who i know won't get a chance to watch for a couple days. but i can safely say that the skill level this season is incredible, even if the design aesthetic isn't all that exciting yet. but from past experience, people get more creative when they're forced to, and since i can only imagine what sort of wacky ideas the magic elves are coming up with this season, i'm hoping that happens soon! heidi is adorable, tim is my favorite, and ninagarcia/orangeman are their usual semi entertaining selves. i do think that watching the judges faces is one of the best parts of the show.

plenty of characters, and i totally predicted (earlier today on the tressemme fantasy runway site) who was going to get kicked off. so hah. didn't get the winner though.... second choice.

anyways. happy place!

oh goodness me i'm so excited

the new season of prunway starts a week from tonight! and bravo has videos from their cool preview fashion show up!

i know that other people have said this already, but so many of those models can't walk! watch tim and nina's faces - i'm sure some of it is about the clothes, but how could they not make those faces with the clomping models? ... heidi nodding throughout to the beat of the music is also really hysterical.
the clothes are not all that exciting. i mean, there are a couple things i liked, but very little that i'd buy... well, maybe one or two of those coats... i'm just hoping that challenges etc make them into more exciting people! i do like jack's classy, jackie-o dresses, but nothing terribly innovative... that black dress that amanda was wearing by rami was gorgeous (as is he!), but i'm not sure about the other two pieces. and simone's lime green and pink things were upsetting. very upsetting. steven's grey/white/black stripe dress is something i'd wear, actually, watching again. and it's carmen's coat that marilinda is wearing that i'd like. big hood, blue lining....

anyways, so very exciting. next week!
