Do You Have What it Takes?

I just got an email with this flyer...

So it seems like the people over at Project Runway are getting ready to film a new season! Last weekend I was watching some reruns and I'm super excited for another season. While, I'm not apply for the upcoming season, one day I may decided to apply to the show, but at this point, there is still so much I need to learn before taking a shot at it. What about you? Anyone out there looking to apply?

So I am sure by now you have most probably already seen Emma Watson's new do! She recently posted on twitter: @ EWmatsonYes, I cut my hair off a few days ago! I love it- feels incredible. Hope you like it! Photo onwww.facebook.com/emmawatsonx

If you know me, you know that I am obsessed/ in love with pixie cuts... I sooo want to have one of my own, but don't really think it would work with my crazy frizzy curly hair, or the shape of my face. Another famous pixie cut I love is Carey Mulligan's.

But, I don't know. My current idea is to let my hair grow, it hasn't been long since high school, so I'll let it grow for a while. When I went to get it cut in May I told my stylist that she couldn't let me cut my hair short for a while... We shall see how long I last.

Oh and last week I missed the premiere of Project Runway Season 8 when I was in Disney. The second episode just started so, I'll have to watch then of course I will share my opinion on it. 

Project Runway 6.3

Sorry this is late, but I left the house early Friday morning, and this is the first time I have had since then.... But this post has Spoilers, so don't read if you haven't watched the latest Episode of Project Runway. 

So Thursday’s episode of Project Runway was pretty good. It started off with Heidi telling the contestants that they would be going on a field trip. They are then brought to the beach where they meet with Tim and he gives them their challenge… to make a California Beachwear inspired look… but they will be in teams.  Teams where as follows: (1) Shirin and Carol Hannah, (2) Logan and Chris, (3) Nicholas and Gordana, (4) Mitchell and Ra’mon, (5) Althea and Louise, (6) Qristyl and Epperson, (7) Johnny and Irina.

And Mitchell was one of the team leaders. Now in earlier episodes we had learned that Mitchell does not know how to sew… he can come up with ideas but the kid doesn’t know how to sew … so I felt really bad for Ra’mon when he was chosen.

But anyways… they got  to work … Epperson and Qristyl annoyed me the whole time. Qristyl has no taste and Epperson was way pushy but they were just annoying.  As the designer’s got to working on their looks, Tim comes in and tells them they will be designing a second garment for an Avant-garde look. And I think it would have been cool to see what Malvin, who was voted out last week would have done for this challenge.  

But back to the current episode, the designer’s pretty much completed their looks with out any problems or last minute drama… Ra'mon decided to hand dye some fabric very last minute but other than that.

On the runway, Shirin, Carol Hannah, Logan, Chris, Althea and Louise were all sent to the back, as their designs scored high enough to let them stay in… Leaving Nicholas & Gordana and Qristyl & Epperson in the bottom and Mitchell, Ra’mon, Johnny and Irina as the top designers. Poor Ra’mon carried Mitchell through the challenge, but he really proved himself in the end by winning the Challenge, while Mitchell was voted out… thank the lord.

My Favorite designs from this episode were Chris & Logan’s Surfer Chic look and Shirin and Carol Hannah’s look.

And my least Favorite were Nicholas and Gordana’s Avant-Garde look and Qristyl and Epperson’s look.

Check out all the designs at mylifetime.com.  

Also I will be tweeting throughout the next Episode of Project Runway, just like I did for this last episode. 

Tweeting Project Runway

I have been a fan of twitter for a while... and I must say I was using it way before it was big. 

But anyways... for anyone who cares, I am planning on twittering my thoughts on tonight's Project Runway Ep. throughout the show.  Then after that I am going to do a post about it... but anyways you can follow me @thefashiongirl.

The lovely pictured was done by the Amazing Sandy! Thanks Manda!

Say Hello to Lifetime's Runway

So for some complicated reasons which I do not wish to delve into... one of my favorite t.v. shows is moving from Bravo! to Lifetime... home of the "Lifetime Original Movie". And I hear big changes are in store... like moving to L.A. I really want to see how this move turns out, as I am a fan of New York fashion and their whole scene in general, I am worried that the show will be too different, I am cool with change... but this change I don't think i will like. It saddens me, one of my dreams was to one day be a Project Runway designer. Now will I even still like the show? I am not expecting it to be as good as it was on Bravo, even though people say it will be better, but I hope I still know and love PR.

They are also starting a new show, Models of the Runway, which looks like it could be interesting... or it could be boring and one big cat fight after another which starts to become trivial... I hope its more of a look at what the models do than what they fight about. 

So Project Runway starts August 20, I'm going to give it a chance...
