Do I have to write an editorial on how many wrong things are in this Metallic Lame’ Tube Dress? I don’t think that’s necessary. I think you and I understand exactly why this is such a LAME dress. On every level. To quote Nina Garcia from one of the episodes of Project Runway this season :

“shiny, tight and short is the quickest way to look cheap“.

I wholeheartedly agree. Do You? If you like it, bless your heart, it’s $19.80

I was finally able to catch the new season of Project Runway this weekend and who knew I’ve missed it so :) . The designers challenge was to create a cocktail dress out of eco-friendly fabrics. Which by the way were bought by their respective models. The mystery guest judge was eco-friendly celeb fashionista Natalie Portman. So what does that have to do with Audrina and Heidi?

Well, Nina Garcia uttered the best line I’ve heard on TV last week : “shiny, tight and short is the quickest way to look cheap“.

As soon as she said those words, I instantly wished and hoped that Audrina and Heidi aka The Hills “Bad Girls” watched the episode. Wouldn’t that be awesome.

Remember when Nina Garcia was fired by ELLE like a month ago? The Fashion world was all aghast and some felt doomsday has come upon us. Well guess what, with Project Runway’s next season coming up on July, ELLE went down on their knees (I hope so :) )and hired Nina Garcia back as ELLE’s Editor-At-Large until September 1st. Here’s what Roberta Myers, Vice President/Editor-in-Chief had to say about it :

“Nina is admired by a large television audience on ‘Project Runway’ who tune in to see Nina and her fellow judges decide who’s in and who’s out. She’s made a real contribution to the program’s success as a top show,”

No kidding, you, hmmmm, nevermind… And here’s what Nina Garcia had to say :

“I’m happy to continue my association with ELLE while focusing on my role on ‘Project Runway.’ I’m also working on my second book which will be out this Fall.”

I love that plugging in the end… LOL. Brilliant :) .

]]> sjp-project-runway.jpgSarah Jessica Parker assigning contestant to create something for her clothing line BITTEN under Steve and Barry’s was the first episode I caught of this season’s Project Runway. I admit, I have been neglectful on catching up with Heidi and Tim, heh. It was quite a challenge for the designers ‘coz they had to spend $15 on materials to create 2-piece outfit that costs only $40. I’ve been to 2 Steve and Barry’s store. Once in Upstate New York during our vacation this year and one time here in NC. The nearest Steve and Barry’s store is like 35 minutes drive away. So I have an idea of how BITTEN line looks like. I’ve bought some of them. Albeit my first day of wearing the BITTEN red canvas sneaker was a little “firey”, when I visit Steve and Barry’s again, I’d certainly buy more of Sarah Jessica Parker’s clothing line and other stuff from Steve and Barry’s of course.

Anyway, when the designers started showing their sketches to SJP, I was really nervous for them. They were all too elaborate and was afraid it didn’t fit the BITTEN line. After all the drama in the sewing room, I actually only liked a couple of designs.

The second outfit won. A neck tie trapeze dress and a shrunken vest. It’s from Victorya which I knew instantly would win coz it was chic and I could see Sarah Jessica Parker actually wearing it. I’m looking forward to my next trip to Steve and Barry’s to check out the winning piece. I might even buy it for myself. Find out your nearest Steve and Barry’s store location because the winning piece is on special limited edition.
