School "FASHION" and PR review

I am almost positive this post will become an ongoing thing because everyday I see items that are attempting to be passed off as "clothes" and "fashion" and well they're not, and never will be.

Is getting dressed in the morning THAT BIG OF A DEAL? No it's not. It takes just as much time to throw on a pair of jeans and t-shirt as it does sloppy sweatpants and a grungy oversize t-shirt. I have been getting up early for school for years along with the rest of the world. And hey, if you don't have time to fuss over which shirt goes with which jeans, DO IT THE NIGHT BEFORE.

These do not count as getting dressed, EVER.

Nor do these.

To be continued....

So Project Runway last night?

I am surprised to say Leanne is stepping her game up seriously. I liked her garment best last night. It was definitely chic and she's really toned herself down while still staying true to her own style.


A close second favorite was Korto. While I found the garment slightly baggy (but not enough to seriously bother me) the seatbelt weaving was done exceptionally. I know she didn't have a choice on the color of the seatbelt but it ended up working to her advantage, the light tan looked great on her model.


So onto my least favorites, or just people who aren't really stepping up to the occasion.

Kenley
. In the first few episodes I was really into what she had to bring to the table. She varied slightly and while she still kept to her aesthetic it wasn't boring or completely expected. Well, this week was BORING. I realize her model did quit on her but that still doesn't help the fact that it was boring. The fact that the garment didn't really fit her new model at first didn't change the original design at all. Yeah she did make her own zebra print but it has that obvious vintage-y silhouette and well yawwwn.


Onto Keith. Is anyone surprised he is gone? I'm actually surprised he didn't go sooner. The construction of this was just terrible. The back was probably one of the biggest problems for me and even if the model hadn't sat down and torn the skirt the back of the top still would have been disgusting and hookerish with that netting. I considered feeling sorry for the fact that he felt insulted by their comments this week and last but it's the fashion industry and well not everyone is going to like everything you make. And I don't remember the exact wording of his parting words but he probably would have been better off sticking to his weird little fabric piece things than this. Going home for something not your style at all is probably extremely frustrating and dissapointing, so I guess that would be my slight bit of sympathy for him.

Magazine Subscriptions, PROJECT FUNWAY, stuff....

I don't know if it's only myself that has this problem but I have a hard time getting rid of old magazines. At one point in time I think I had 5 larger milk crates full of old magazines in my closet, sitting around, collecting dust. I don't know what it is about keeping them around, like I feel as though I am going to need to reference them later on down the line? I've tried to make a habit of ripping out the useful pages and categorizing them in a folder but then I just have tons of random folders full of clippings. I don't know I am going to have to figure something out.

Well, something good finally came from my uncontrollable spending habits, YAY! A free subscriptions to Elle. Yay for World Points from Bank of America. Andddd....... American Express is sending me a free airline companion ticket as well, SOOOO Florida here we come! I'm thinking fall break or maybe if we decide we want to go to Vegas we could use it there as well.


Onto Project Runway:

Am I the only person happy to see Daniel go? I'm sorry but he just REALLY annoyed me. I don't know if the guy just surrounds himself with ass kissers all day every day but seriously the guy could not take criticism AT ALL. His dress was not drag queen in any way, shape or form. He could have gone so many ways with Anita Greenkard and he just BORED it up. And last week, well he can't be held responsible for that mess but he still could have spoken up about it or called her out, it wouldn't be the first time that's ever happened on the show. And two weeks for the Olympics challenge, EWWW that cheap ass shiny flight attendant cocktail waitress Halloween costume monstrosity! I have no idea what point of view he was coming from there, way to not follow the challenge. Not to mention his model just irked me.

Week 1:
Okay, the cup idea was innovative. He was one of the only people not to use some kind of "fabric" like material. I'll give him that much. The dress was still kind of ill fitting IMO.
Week 2:
Like we haven't seen this before. Empire waist babydoll LBD. Yaaawwnn.Week 3:
Don't hate it, Don't LOVE it.

Week 4:
Ugh! Don't even get me started. Shiny fabric? Pretty much PURPLE. Flight attendant cocktail waitress Halloween costume gone awry.

Week 5:
I don't really think he can be held completely responsible for this fug disaster. I really don't know what was going on when they picked Kelli or Kelly to be on the show. From her audition video you can clearly see that she has that "Zipperhead/Hot Topic" Punky aesthetic since her ENTIRE store looks to be full of that kind of clothing. Eh, to each their own I guess. Personally this thing looks like it came from the Deb or (SL)Eazy Pickings.
Week 6:
And last but not least.
OHHHH WELLL!!!! BYE BYE DANIEL!
