If you would like to be cartooned, for whatever reason, I recommend this free application on Facebook:
Cartoon Head Creator.

You can also turn any photo into a cartoon using PhotoShop: WonderHowto.com.

Or my kids could draw you for the low, low, low price of 2.0933 Euro.

Speaking of cartoons, here’s a cool site that answers the question, “What if cartoons were real?” LarryFire.Wordpress.com.

During the show I paused the program so my girls could sketch the models.

Adding in intermissions to:

For adult viewers, it’s time for the
Season 6 Drinking Game!

Last year’s words included the classic Suede, Leatha and Holla atcha boy!

It’s early in the game, so let’s start with Tim Gunn saying, Designers. I’ll update the list as the season progresses. No doubt we’ll be tossing back a full beer or glass of wine by the finale!

• What word(s) would you add to the drinking game?
• What did you think of this silver honeycomb dress?
• If you weren’t watching Project Runway, what were you doing?

Thanks for reading!

Sip When They Say:
• Designers
• Make it work!
• Carry on.
