designers

Today I was asked to send some articles to a fashion website. This is from the same blog that had the troll, so I'm glad to know that karma is smiling on me for keeping my temper.

It's not Elle or Vogue, but then again, nothing is. But it's writing, and it's more traffic for my blog there. Eventually, who knows what it will bring.

So I am very excited today, and I'm looking forward to a

First, I love the redesign of Bravo's website. It's more streamlined and less clunky than last year. I thought for a long time that they weren't going to do the contest again, but it finally went up.

The first episode is always the hardest. You have to decide who is the worst, and who is the best, without seeing a single thing they've created. Furthermore, you only have to pick which is the worst for that episode and which is the best. All of their work tends to go downhill in the later episodes, but whose starts there??

It's almost Project Runway time!!! Today, as I was surfing by the website, I noticed that they had changed the page to reflect the new designers. So, without further ado, we'll get right into the spoilers and talk about the designers and models.

Vincent- he's a Parson's grad, and I am truly impressed with their graduates. He is older than most in the competition, but he looks cool. In his photos, he looked like he could be a tattoo artist, and he was wearing an awesome silver shirt in one pic.

I love the show Project Runway. For those who don't know, it is a show where aspiring fashion designers compete to win $100,000 to start their own clothing line. They also receive publicity in the form of magazine spreads, and tv appearances.

Most people watch reality shows for the drama. I watch this one for the inspiration. My first three jobs were at two different fabric stores, and I made some clothes that hung in the stores. I have always loved fashion, even though I am not your typical fashionista. I have read a fashion magazine only once in my life. I cannot tell you the intricacies of a Valentino vs. a Chanel. I cannot look at a gown and tell you what designer it looks like. BUT- I know my fashion. I began making a skirt six months ago. It is a light teal color, and has endless ruffles. Since I began making it, I have seen one on Kathy Griffin, one on the back of a home improvement magazine, and one on a Barbie doll. If I had just sewn it more quickly, I would have been the first person to ever display that design anywhere. I knew that ponchos were coming back, I saw the coming of the hobo bag, and I knew that shirtdresses were going to be HOT. I am a fashion crystal ball.

I warn you, this will be a completely superficial post from someone who didn't watch the Oscars. (Why bother? They are all the same. Some film wins that should have lost, some other film loses that should have won. And some actress wears a gorgeous dress while another wears an ugly one. Yawn.)

1. Salma Hayek was devastating. Normally she doesn't strike me as gorgeous, but yowza!
2. I don't get the guys who dressed up but didn't bother to shave. Peter Sarsgaard is normally very good looking, but he had a WHOLE lot of hair on his face.
