Is there any fairy tale that has captured the popular imagination more than Cinderella? We all like a good “Cinderella Story”–someone who beats the odds and builds a better life. There are Cinderella tales in almost every culture and time. Disney’s Cinderella is another one for the ages and, now that it is out in […]
Project Runway S10, E4: On the Move, In the Groove
Our designers gather at the Michael Kors store and learn they are designing for the jetsetting, modern woman who needs to get off a plane, take a meeting, and hit a cocktail party. Or, as my mom likes to say to my kids as they head out to school, lessons, play dates, or activities, […]
Project Runway s10 e3: Red-Carpet Runner-Ups
Like last week, I agree with the auf and didn’t have a real issue with the winner but felt like the middle contestants are more interesting and worthy of discussion. Exhibit A: Dmitry Sholokhov and Melissa Fleis for April Johnston If ever there was a perfect match-up, it was this trio. Their sensibilities meld almost […]
LeapFrog LeapPad 2 Review
LeapFrog sent their new LeapFrog LeapPad2 Explorer for my family to review. We checked out some of the differences between this device and the original LeapPad and tested its functions and apps. If you are wondering whether to get a LeapPad2, just let your kids use your iPad, or skip tablets for kids altogether, here’s […]
Project Runway S10 Ep3 – Red Carpet Challenge: The Spirits of Project Runway Past
Like a Charles Dickens story, the spirits of past seasons have returned–whether it is to haunt or to help current Project Runway contestants, we’ll just have to see. The contestants are informed that they will have to create a red carpet look…for the Emmies (with you so far, Mr. Gunn)…inspired by… …a color of Lexus? […]
Gone to BlogHer…Come to the Bloganthropy Panel!
Debbie and I are heading off to BlogHer this week. If you will be at BlogHer, please find us and say, “hello”! Most bloggers probably know Debbie from her popular and informative speeches at conferences (she hasn’t seen this…so I can brag about her here). I, on the other hand, rarely go to events…so I […]
Project Runway Season 10, Episode 2 – Red Hots and Sour Patch Kids (The Middle)
I already looked at the top and bottom three Project Runway designers from this week’s “unconventional materials” challenge at Dylan’s Candy Bar. Here’s a quick rundown of the rest of the not-so-sweet entries (although a few of these are quite good): There is some discussion online that Dmitry, the emo Bond villain, should have […]
Project Runway Season 10: Episode 2 – Annie Get Your Glue Gun
Well, it is the famous “unconventional materials” challenge on Project Runway Season 10. Or, as it has been come to be known lately, the “Glue Junk On” challenge. I kid. I kid because I love. The remaining 15 head off to Dylan’s Candy Bar which, O-M-Gee you just have to see to believe! I have […]
Project Runway Season 10 Episode 1 Recap: Granny Fabrics and Snuggies
So, can I just say, “wow”? Wasn’t the premier of Season 10 of Project Runway a whole lot of fun? I mean, yes, I am a rabid fangurl who writes for a subsite owned by the host television network but STILL. After 10 seasons (plus All Stars), I am capable of seeing the show objectively […]
I Met Mondo…and Project Runway Season 10 Premiers Today!
As if I were not excited enough already about Project Runway Season 10 premiering TODAY (Thursday, July 19 at 9/8c) on Lifetime, I got to meet some of the talented designers from past seasons at the High Line in New York City last night.
Who is your favorite Project Runway Designer of all time? It is easy for me to pick a favorite from each season but nearly impossible to pick just one “All Star”…
