Project Runway Season 6 Episode 8

Logan's (IN my eyes) losing design with ILL FITTING HORRENDOUS TWEED pants and ILL fitting vest

Epperson's Losing Design, which was okay...but not HORRENDOUS

I know my PR posts are sporadic, but with good reason. Unless I am truly blown away or angry by the show, I will not waste space talking about it. Last night I was fired up, this is a SPOILER ALERT if you didn't watch last night. Logan and Epperson were in the bottom two, Epperson was voted off. Now, don't get me wrong I think Epperson can be odd, arrogant, and annoying at times, but his TRACK record has been steady and unique, and I was shocked that Heidi and the crew voted him off. Logan, what can I say about him... for some reason, the panel thinks he's gorgeous, I disagree, but his outfits are mediocre at best and he has been in the bottom more than twice. There are pieces in both of their collections that I could do without, but I was most interested in at least seeing a final product from Epperson at Bryant Park for Fashion Week. Let's see a comparison shall we? And you tell me what you think.

Logan

Loved the leather super hero outfit - bad ass

Epperson:

Loved the western era outfit... so unique!

Sexy dress

Paris Fashion Week oh 9: Spotlight on Elie Saab

Another designer who caught my attention was Elie Saab, her collection had pieces that had embellishments and slightly exaggerated shoulders, without being over the top. There were mainly blacks used in this collection, but the surprise comes in the form of a confetti of color in a couple of the pieces that is both sexy and unique! This is another collection that if I could afford it, I would definitely be purchasing.

Paris Fashion Week oh 9: Spotlight on Roland Mouret

I am a woman who adores beautiful clothes and the fashion that comes with it. I would like to showcase a few pieces from the Roland Mouret Spring 2010 Ready-to-Wear Collection. What stood out for me in this collection were the clean yet unexpected lines in the pieces. The blues and oranges in this collection are sumptuous! What draws me to this collection in particular, is the fact that if I could afford it, I would actually purchase some of these pieces.

Enjoy!

CAFOs:Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations

I would like to shed some light on a dirty "little" secret that the American Government has been allowing for years. They are called Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations or CAFOs. I have become increasingly interested in learning about them from reading 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' by Michael Pollan. I am not yet finished reading the book, but the chapter on the CAFO has piqued my interest. Now, I am not yet ready to give an in depth report, but I have learned that CAFOs directly lead to toxic pollution in water streams, manure dust, and acid rain - all of which aid in the destruction of the earth. I am trying to get the word out about this, while also trying to find out why these operations are allowed to remain in the U.S. and infect Americans. Additionally, there is a link between the CAFOs and the excess corn the U.S. produces every year, which feed the animals, mainly the cattle in these CAFOs. Another note, cows are herbivore's, they should be eating grass, but by consuming corn meal in CAFOS, it fattens the cows in a shorter period of time, so instead of reaching ideal weight by 4-5 years, the calves are mature enough for slaughter by 1 1/2 years old. But I digress... stay tuned for more information as I research this sick twist on life - and please if you have more information on how to stop these farms from operating, please let me know.

Good Morning Random Tuesday

Interesting things I have learned about myself in the past couple days:

1. I have a type, as in male type that I prefer - if you know me, you already know.

2. I really really like wines on the sweet end of the spectrum

3. People who talk really loud agitate me to the bone

4. I should patent my home-made spaghetti sauce

5. My dreams sometimes scare the living daylight (ha-ha) out of me! Example of a dream I had

while visiting my friend (Kristen) this past weekend: I was walking up the steps of a church? I entered a room that had 5-6 people lined up against the far side if the room. The room wasn't that large, probably just enough for the amount of people that were inside. There was an additional person, who upon me entering the room, introduced everyone by name, the only name I remember is Paul, because what she/he? said next was that all the people were dead. This triggered my unconscious/subconscious self to flee across the room and down another set of steps. The strange thing is, in my sleep I remember thinking, 'I do not want to see dead people in my dreams, this is not happening', however, partway down the steps, I decided I wanted to know for sure if the "dead" people in the room, were in fact dead. So, I head back up the steps to try and remember the names --- by that time the dream was slipping away and I was left with the name Paul. Knowing just the first name does me no good...

6. At times, I do not say what I am thinking, but I mean what I say when I finally say it.

7. I love arena rock

For once I am not discussing another subject, and working on an introspective analysis. How introspective, probable not much, but I tried.

Prject Runway Episode 3 - Season 6

Tonight is episode 3 of Project Runway. Although the designers seem to have much potential, I already have a few favs out there, I would like to see more challenges being brought forth to the table, literally. Creating a maternity dress and a red carpet dress isn't the most exciting thing they can do... I need twists and turns, sweat and tears!

Guest Judge tonight is Rachel Bilson - she has her own unique style so her input will be interesting.
Stay tuned for more after the show is complete.
