Re: Premiere Date Set for 'Project Runway All Stars'

This should be interesting. Let the egos and bitching begin.

Re: DVD GIVEAWAY: Threads Magazine Archive, 1985-2011

My husband would be very happy if I had this DVD because then I could get rid of my back copies of Threads. It drives him crazy that I save my copies. He does not understand that there is information in them that I would like to keep. It would also be nice for me to have everything in one place.

Re: Project Runway Episode 12 - Who Goes to NY Fashion Week?

I enjoyed this season's show a little more because there was not a much cattiness (is that a word?), bickering, back bitting, and super hugh egos. I know hugh egos are needed in this business, but sometimes it gets to be a bit much, as in Santino (even though I liked his work). If last week's episode was a regular one, Althea (that was her worse outfit) may have been voted off and Gerdano (this was her best outfit) may have won. My hat is off to all the designers. I could not do what they do, especially in the time frame given.

I can remember in high school, coming home around 3pm on Friday, cutting out a pattern and sewing a dress (usually simple) to wear to a dance at 7pm; but I had a store bought pattern and had my material, ect. and usually was asking my mother to finish hemming it while I took a shower. Soli's remarks reminded me of a time when I was working community theatre and the costume people had to make one pregnant cast member's custume to expand as her belly got bigger.

I would have liked to see more of what Epperson and Nicolas could do. Over all I have been pulling for Carol Hannah and I think she has been consistant week after week turning out good designs. Fashion, to me, is a lot like art--it is all the eye of the beholder.
