Flotsam and Jetsam

***SPOILER ALERT***If have not seen Project Runway or The Project Runway All Stars, STOP here!***SPOILER ALERT***

Last started off the first season of Project Runway on Lifetime. I must say I was a little nervous, but it was AWESOME.
First I watched the project Runway All Stars and I will admit I was mad Daniel won. I did not like his stuff as much as Korto's...She is amazing, I wish she could make me some dresses. I also loved the green dress by Sweet Pea.



Ok on to Project Runway Season 6...
Lindsay Lohan was a judge, and I am not really sure why...The first challenge was a good one, make a dress for any red carpet event you choose, and there was already a "not enough time to finish/my model is worthless" moment. Also looks like we have a few people who have not been to fashion school and love to constantly remind us of the fact.
Looks like we already have some strangies to keep us entertained, Malvin, Ari (well not anymore) and the man the had a break down already former meth addict Johnny, whose dress I did not think was that great. Kim thinks that the judges wanted to avoid another breakdown/Tim Gunn heart to heart and said they liked it.
What do you think?




I really didn't like all the top dresses at all. Usually that happens with me though, I always like stuff in the begging that doesn't win. Th designers I like always stay in the middle until halfway through. Last night my top three favorites were: Shirina (the picture is not the best, but I loved the back) , Gordana (so fun), and Irina ( i love lacy vintagey stuff):



Sew(ha), who are you rooting for?

Scrunchie Socks Can Only Mean One Thing....

Time to do laundry....

Blah....

Ever hate everything in your closet? I need a wardrobe makeover....

There were no boas, no crowns, no party buses,

And most importantly no Penises. That's right, I had my bachelorette party a week ago. And yes, it was not annoying one. It was really great to see my friends in college and bring Kim to Iowa! We got our nails done, had a great sushi and went out and about in Iowa City. Lots of girl talk and drinks! It was a great night and I would not have wanted it any other way. I am so thankful my friends went to all the trouble of planning and organizing the whole thing! It was a blasty and I wish I could do it every weekend.

I was really nervous about having a bachelorette party, because all the ones I have see around town the bride is obscenely drunk, wearing veils with condoms in them, carrying a giant inflatable penis around, wearing a a suck for buck shirt with life savers sewn to them, boas, crowns, and other obnoxious shenanigans going on. I honeatly don't understand why there are penises everywhere at these parties either. Can anyone shed some light on this?? I did not want to be ap art of that, first of all it is extremely annoying, second, tacky and third I think it is a little disrespectful to the groom. It just isn't for me...Anyways my party was not like that we dressed up and went out. We did see a bunch of other parties though... Good Times!



Thanks again to all who made it possible! You are the best friends a girl could ask for!

The wedding is less than a month away!!
