“You come from a different world: you are not a jet-setter.”

Project Runway update (since the Beaveblog was kicked off on the topic, I thought I’d keep it going): harsh break for Angela, having flown to Paris with the rest of the designers, and now having to fly right back home. Back to the Ohio farm! Her hippie-casual style just didn’t play in the Paris fashion world, imagine that.

In other news, I and Bryna have been working ourselves to the bone this August at our jobs, but have a vacation planned for next week. We has planned to fly to Prtland but now think we may actually drive, as one can plan even laster-minute this way. In any case, we will get away from our routines and obligations, and hopefully experience some natural beauty (hot springs, volcanoes, beaver safaris) and tranquility.

Why don’t you go shove some Harry Winstons up your nose?

Project Runway last night, where the challenge was to craft an outfit (a dress?) from recycled materials (largely paper goods). Laura was upset that Angela Alison was cut instead of Vincent. Vincent is insane, and had — as usual — a lame dress which he kept insisting really “turned him on”, because it was supposedly so avant garde, with pieces of trash glued all over it. “You call that anything close to a walk that her model was doing out there” on the runway? shrieked Laura, when they returned backstage right after the judging. Vincent must have been falsely claiming his dress was flexible and wearable, when truth is it was stiff as cardboard. “Oh, why don’t you shove some Harry Winstons up your nose?” was his snappy retort. i.e.: shove it, snob. (Harry Winstons are apparently diamonds.) Heh. Still, Laura’s design was sharp! Jeffrey’s was probably the best; aesthetically it was pretty brilliant, and he managed to make the paper fall like fabric. Jeffrey is our favorite contender, even though he’s completely arrogant. After all, Bryna tells me he is friends with Santino Rice, who ruled the show with hilarious arrogance last season — and should have won. I think I like Jeffrey’s design style even more than Santino’s, but he’s less of a character.
