OK, just a few quick thoughts on the show. The challenge was to design an outfit for a 'trendsetting jetsetter'. The jetsetter turns out to be the designers themselves, and they have to make an outfit that they could wear to jump on a plane and go to a party or event in.
They modeled their own garments and then after the usual runway critique, they are told to go pack their bags and go to the airport. At the airport they find out that they are going to Paris. In Paris, they end up at the French branch of Parsons school of Fashion. Some French designer critiques their outfits, which they did wear on the plane, and then someone gets the boot and has to fly right back to the US, while the others stay to do the next competition in Paris.
Jeffrey le douche wins with a poser rock star outfit. He's a jerk, but the outfit did look good. I would have preferred to see Michael or Laura win, both designed a true jetsetter look, rather than a costume for a performer. Laura did a pretty, pale jersey halter dress with wrap at waist. Michael did an all white outfit that perfectly suited his style. The pants were made out of seersucker. Yeah, I would have thought seersucker a strange choice for mens pants, but they looked great.
Uli got a tongue lashing for being too tropical, and for making too many of the same style dresses. Vincent is obviously being drug along in the competition for some reason. The PR boards are talking about a comment that Heidi made about winning a competition being important later on. So the theory is that he was given the win last week for a future competition.
Angela was out. She made a funky little Angela outfit from silk linen, which wrinkled and caused hemorrhaging among the judges. She put 2 of her wacky little rosettes on the behind of the pants and did this weird half circle top stitching around the lower behind. She might as well have put a sign on her back that said 'look at my wrinkled behind'. The French judge said she was from 'Out of this world' After disliking so many of her designs, I was a bit said to see her go, I guess I was starting to like her. Vincent should have gone before her.
Sheesh, I had to come back and add to the post because I forgot Kayne! He made an outfit that looked like something Versace would have made for Elvis. I kept trying to think that it wasn't that bad, but it was a bit gaudy. He's been struggling the past two competitions, I hope he gets back on his mark soon.
Last night the show announced a competition where the viewers can vote for their favorite designer, even booted designers. The viewer's choice winner will receive $10,000. I'm not sure who I'll vote for yet. You can vote here -

More baby photos
Here are some current photos of the baby deer. Baby now comes out into the clearing to eat corn with momma. It's growing fast. I love the white spots, they're so cute!Click images for larger views.
Of course here is my favorite baby, all cuddled up on his blanket on the couch. He gets really made if you try to touch his blanket! He's very possessive.
I'm steadily working my way through the website, installing the shopping cart buttons on each item. I did 27 pages today (yeah me! Good Girl!) Now I only have 9 pages left tomorrow! Big job, but I think this cart is finally what I was looking for, and it should make ordering easier for everyone. I still have to work out the shipping, and whether I'll continue to calculate it for each order or charge a flat rate.
Next Monday is Labor Day (Summer, where did you go?) so there won't be an update on my website (I'll be in Strathmere ) The update will return the following week with a few suits, dresses and jackets for the Fall. Plus, I've sold a bunch of purses and hats the past few weeks, so I have to add some more of those too. I'm almost caught up on listing my backstock of purses, but I feel like I have a bottomless supply of hats.
It's Wednesday, Project Runway Day. I'm going to try to keep myself from bitching about the show here in the blog tomorrow. I can already tell from previews that Jeffrey is still going to be a DB in tonight's episode too.
A tour of the sewing/craft area, and Eeyore too
By popular request(actually, I only had 1 request, from Alison) here is a tour of the sewing and craft area in my room. The video is kind of dark, so I hope that you can see it alright. I do the narration, I should have had it scripted out before I started filming. It's funny to hear your own voice. I alway imagined myself speaking like a young Lauren Bacall, but I don't know, I sound more like a Valley Girl without the Valley slang. I only had about 1 minute on my camera, so I kind of rush through things. I'll get better doing videos with more practice.
