Not quite the ones i got -mine have a large C-shaped buckle but the rest is spot on ;)


Sinful by Seychelles

Cute Right? but imagine them in berry and for only $26 from Nordstrom Rack.

Dog Days of Project Runway

I was hoping ot get a pic of Tim Gunn with all the wee lil puppies in the park but the bravo site is really hacked up today.
The Challenge was to create a story for an outfit that incorporated four-legged furry cuteness. Vera Wang was filling in again for Michael and Ivanka Trump was the guest judge-loooooved her title as VP of something at Trump Inc i am sure she earned it ;)


Katherine this is what happens when you dont take Tim's advice he said DO IT for your hoodie jacket for the model and you didnt and now you are out. In season 1 or 2 she would have stood out more but among this company she just didnt have the chops for it.


Uli Da Winner! i think it was the adorable "Hi Ladies" on the puppy's coat that clinched this for her.


Alison def her best so far. i think her and Uli were praticaly tied to win. I hope she can step up a lil more and get some wins.


Robert just had a great interpretation of classic chanel for the younger fresher generation. Nothing i would ever wear but really chic.


Michael's design i just adored. Was fantastic the cut and shape. He really didnt get enough praise for this.


Kayne's out of any of them would be the most likely i would actually wear.


Laura, i think, has shown the best sense of her taste and style through all the challenges. She is going to be huge after this show because she has been soo consistent with this tailored structured look.


Kieth reminds me of a rebellious teenager. Whining and starting arguements and fights and totally defensive all the time. Well made but come one how hard was it to actually make ANYTHING for the cute doggy??


Jeffrey. I really like this dress. I thought the top part was wondermous and what goes better than a corgie for the summer?


Bradley -Did anyone else's mouth just DROP OPEN when the judges waxed poetic about this mess??? It was disgusting. There is NO WAY that Nina "Eagle Eye" Garcia would ever feature this in her magazine.


Angela angela angela no one likes a carnie get over this circus freak routine already.

These last two are just blaaaaah.

Vincent -whatever


Bonnie i think it is time for Bonnie to go-nothing even mildly intriguing about her or her designs

The teasers are back. Lots of commercial promos for the scandal of next week's episode. unprecedented kicking OFF of one of the designers. Any guesses who?? (keith??)

Mrs. Turtleton, "Dearest Alfred! Will you decide now what we shall have for dinner?"
Mr. Turtleton," Lets me see, Poppet. We had a wafer yesterday -suppose we have a roast butterfly today?"


She Also Misplaced Her Invisible Airplane and Her Golden Lasso of Truth

Fat girl: So I think I lost my favorite jeans.
Friend: What jeans?
Fat girl: You know, the ones that make my ass look small.
Friend: Honey, you can't lose something that doesn't exist.

Not afraid to proclaim your crush on Tim Gunn to the world? LINK

A super enjoyable fashion/beauty/cool shizznit blog Blogdorf Goodman

against all odds (overhead lights turned off to conserve energy, A/C not blasting an artic wind at me and all my co-workers away plus a deliriously full tummy from lunch) i am still up and typing at the moment. My character and will power amazes me sometimes. ;)

My solution to this unceasing heat wave:

Doritos and Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

This heat wave has me nostalgic for the summer vacations of my youth. Basically spent all day at the pool and in a darkened tv room watching Nickelodeon. Thank god for youtube here are a couple classic episodes to keep you occupied this weekend (dont get mad at me there where no entire episodes of Clarissa Explains it All -trust me i looked)

Pete and Pete


Hey Dude (check out Christine Taylor wooot)

Where were the Tiaras???

Episode 2 of Project Runway was full of GOODNESS! i lurved how the designers got to pick models this time! i dont know why but i do enjoy this extra bit of drama each challenge.
-Did any one notice:
A) the apartments are back to normal?
B) Angela's unfortunate cargo pants with the darker material in the crotch that made it look like she had a Fergie bladder control issue?
C) the awesome facial expressions of Miss USA when the designers were presenting?
D) the total lack of more info about the PR scandal hinted at last week??

Okay it was pretty cute that they design gowns for Miss America. Some of them obviously had a way better understanding of what a gown needed to look good on a stage and win a BEAUTY contest... however the latest loser didnt seem to quite get that concept of a beautiful gown for a beaty pagent.


Malan and Katherine. I was way sorry to see Malan go but he really did dig his own shithole with this ruching nightmare.


Laura and Michael. I get the simplicity of it and whatevs but the material and the cut just reminded me of a swimsuit -one of those matronly ones with a lil skirt to hide cellulite.

Keith and Bradley. pretty but Uli did it better


Uli and Bonnie. Really pretty but did anyone else notice how the fabric caught at lil places from tacking it down?? Why you gots to hinder the flow Uli??

Kayne and Robert. Winners! I want these two to get commited as life partners and adopt stray animals. They seem like the Dynamic Duo for the season.


Jeffrey and Alison Obviously wouldnt win this challenge but way cool none the less
For all the coverage of the drama between Vincent and Angela ("i dont DOOOO sketches") i was sincerly suprised that Vincent actual had a complete article of clothing to send down the runway. I thought it would be another ridiculous mess but i thought this was quite pretty (one of the BEST moments was Miss USA sassing back with a "I disagree!" to Angela's rant about it being a design school quality)
oooo i cant hardly wait for MORE!!!

Call Social Services

Oooo what a poor neglected bastard child this blog has been lately. In a desperate attempt to regain its love and affections i will shower it with frivalous gifts to make up for the time i spend away. Bloggies dont care that i have been sick and overworked with school -they just want some Lurve!

Some newly discovered fashion blogs

Oskar this is for your 80's education-but everyone can learn a lesson from the PSA

they're Baaaaaaack!

Oh how i love it! Heidi and TIm and Michael and Nina are back again! Unofrch after one espisode of season 3 i am already annoyed at Bravo for whoring out the great Tim sayings (Make it work) totally turning a classic character into a cartoon. STOP IT BRAVO STOP IT! (Am equally annoyed at the commercials for that lame-ass show Work Out or whatevs they called it no one like working out let alone whatching people fitter than you do it either. blaaaah)
Anways on to the good stuff the designers! As Oskar is my witness i toally called the elimated designer. They just featured her way way way too much in one episode for her to kept around. It was just kinder all around too to knock off the one who couldnt even use the sewing machines. whatta marla. Not even going to waste my time putting up her pic



The first winner was Kieth-horrible dark pic of the dress
but that is what they had online


They are already setting up Jeffrey to be the next Santino. Somehow i dont see this guy coming up with a brilliant imaginary Tim and Andre-esque romance or a PR musical. He kinda bugs but not full blown annoyance YET. but i am not sure if i am willing to give a Detroit script neck tattoo another chance.



Was really hard to get a read on the other designers. Have yet to select the hated ones or the ones to champion. Oskar and i really like these designs:

Uli-This dress looked so killer going down the runway


Robert who kinda grates on the nerves acting like an 11 yr boy in a 37 yr old body


When will the bravo site get the hint to include back shots? This dress was way stylish and cute and the back was really cool.

I already dig Laura and not just because she has the greatest name in the universe. AM intrigued by her architecture back round so she already knows design from a totally different perspective than clothing.




In terms of innovation i thought Michaels was the best. He stayed away from just grabbing the obvious bedsheets and leather from chairs. One doesnt think coffee filters when they see this they think it was really great design.



the rest were some dull crap
Bradley's (who totally reminds me of the lead singer to the Spin Doctors thus inspiring instant unwarranted loathing)




Vincent -if i said he is crazy dishwater to me would the rest of you understood what i meant by that. basically dull and uninspired with a coating of insanity



Allison-def the prettiest of the designers so i wonder if she will want to toss out her model and just walk the runway herself ;)




Angela- striking but i dont get why she included a sholder throw of fake flowers. was kinda tacky




Bonnie -did no one tell her that size 0 models dont have any breasts whatsoever??



katherine-yawnnnnnnn




Kayne-think this one had a really neat back but whose to say from this view




malan -who really realy wants you to know he was born in Taiwan -has already been rechristened Ducky by Oskar




Despite all this my favorite part of Epsiode 1 was when they all went back to their Atlas apartments after shreading them for materials only to find the MESS they all left behind WAS STILL THERE! hahahahahha!
Once again the winning designs are being auctioned online LINK
