Models of the Runway fans, we have a treat for you this season! We have not one, but three model bloggers, so we’ll be switching it up week to week to provide you with their personal stories and memories from the show! This week Brandise and her supermodel cat give you all the episode details!
So I admittedly frequent Home Depot. It’s not like I go there to cruise for cute single handyman with jobs or a penchant for interior design or anything. But being one of the “older” girls on the show, a new koehler kitchen accoutrement is almost as exciting as a new pair of Manolo whatevertheir calleds. Koehler for those fashionistas that don’t know has crossover cred, with famed fashion photogs David Lachapelle and Erwin Loaf having shot their add campaigns before, modeled by yours truly! See, I do make sense, you just have to see me through.
In all seriousness before I was on Project Runway, I had never seen a single episode, but had anyone asked me what the show was all about I would have referenced that designers make a bunch of weird outfits out of weird things. Like materials from Home Depot.
Chairman meow jr. Supermodel cat is actually typing this for me as a dictate to him - he’s up to 800+ fans on Facebook and promised his fans he’d help out with this one. A morning foot nibble to wake me up and remind me to write this is this week’s contribution. He says have your cats spayed and neutered. Oh oh, now he thinks he’s the host of Price Is Right. And he thinks someone should make him a sandpaper, lined with reconstituted cardboard suit that doubles as a scratching post, that triples as a cat box. It’s all about the avante guard convertibles in kitty kat fashion. Chairman’s all about going green and being nice to the environment too. Recycle he meows.
Insert “dun dun dun” carry on…
So after last week’s lul because of the Olympics (even though my country Canada won hockey and I have a new found crush on William Shatner and re-sparked my Neil Young crush … if they were my age) they had to heavy hit it with the obligatory strange materials challenge. When I first caught wind of the unconventional materials challenge I hoped I wasn’t going to be wearing a raw chicken breast bolero paired with a anaheim pepper orzo pilaf party dress. You never really know on this show.
Tim Gunn’s voice saying “models” is the new indelibley voice tattooed on my auditory system. I call it timgunnitus. “Make it work” high pitched frequency that just won’t go away. This challenge rings especially true. Which reminds me, I need to get a Tim Gunn bobblehead for my desk.
I was paired with the wonderful Mila Hermanovski. In fact, we got to watch the show together tonight. We had been out at a red carpet event in Los Angeles, and were lucky enough to sneak out early and find a bar that was sweet enough to change the TV station from the basketball game to Project Runway. Oh yeah, what people will do for you when you’re on TV.
I don’t know if Anthony has ever set foot within ten miles of a hardware store. Just a hunch. But he made Kristina a pretty dress. I like Kristina. She was with us last night too. We’re going to shoot each other on sunday. Swoon swoon.
Now Jay. I must say you made Brit look pretty hot - just ‘cuz you bit my steeze and made her look like me. Congrats to Brittany for winning the challenge, but not to be a hater, but this was a hardwear challenge. Not a buy the material closest to regular old fabric challenge. Which reminds me: if I’m ever a designer on Project Runway, perhaps I will practice a la Jay and have already designed a line out of garbage bags (did they show that in the extended judging, that Jay had designed outfits out of garbage bags before?) I heard him say that he had made a couple of those belts before.
Emilio, Emilio, Emilio. What are/were you thinking? Really? You didn’t? Those washers were falling off left and right. I pocketed some of them for souvenirs - hats off to holy: you rocked it…
Auf vas ever it is preggers Heidi says to the aufed ones. Jesse is gone and so goes Alexis. All the girls on my half of the room seem to be leaving, and if you notice I have slowly started claiming all the empty bunkbeds for myself. (Do they show that?) I think I’m up to four now. One for each of my personalities, given the day. Just to mix things up a bit, depending on my mood and to confuse the camera crew in the morning when they come to “organically” wake us up. Which means sneaking in and sticking boom poles and giant cameras in our face.
Alexis is gone. And I was just starting to like her. I knew if I wanted to not be filmed, all I would have to do was hang out next to Alexis when she walked around the house naked. Oh yeah. I sort of respected her confidence, and come on, you gotta admit that she does have a pretty rockin’ bod no? We just never got really close. I just stole her bunkbed!!! I wasn’t impressed on our pool party. I love the pool, but I was pissed they wouldn’t let me bring my underwater camera. And those fancy shmancy drinks were gross. But it was nice to get out of the house. I was sick so didn’t partake as much as i’d normally had. The water was really cold. Nice jesture tho heidi. Why didn’t heidi come to the pool party w/ us? Whats up w/ that?
The designers really hit the nail on the head with this one. Good job all.
