You’re Invited to the Ball! Cinderella: Diamond Edition
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 […]
Oink If You Love Peppa Pig
I wrote before about how much my boys love Peppa Pig on NIck Jr. Peppa Pig is a lovable, cheeky little pig from the UK, and the charming cartoon follows her family life and daily activities. Peppa arrived in the US last year, quickly becoming a hit with US audiences. And now her toys have arrived at Toys R Us!
Almost Naked Animals Volume I DVD Review
I had never heard about Cartoon Network’s quirky, animated series, Almost Naked Animals, until I received an inquiry asking if I’d like to review the first season, which will be available on DVD starting September 25, 2012. Almost Naked Animals features an ensemble cast of underwear-clad animals, based on the quirky designs of Noah Z. Jones. The pack is led by Howie, the good-spirited but hospitality-challenged doggy manager of Banana Cabana, a beach-front hotel. Since I’m a fan of many quirky cartoons (Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, Archer and more), it looked like something that would appeal to my odd sense of humor.
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 […]
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? […]
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 […]
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”…
