Project Runway ~ Let The (drinking) Games Begin!

Posted on August 21st, 2009 by Jean

Last night was the premier of Project Runway. What a virtual PR sandwich with it’s 2-hour All Star Challenge lead-in and it’s Models of Project Runway post show. Three and a half hours of juicy goodness!

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

It’s hard to give your full attention to a show, even one you adore, for 3.5 hours. We made it about 75 minutes before the first melt-down. Pearl ran out of paper, and *borrowed* Natalie’s stack, which made Nat inconsolable.

Adding in intermissions to:
1. order pizza;
2. let the pizza man in;
3. watch Tom do a slow-motion dance in front of the big screen;
4. let the kids change clothes;
5. watch the kids model
made for a very long evening indeed!

At night’s end, Heidi wished me auf vidersein, while Tom and the kids snoozed.


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.

Bonus Round:
• Sob story / tears – 2 shots!

Project Runway

I don’t watch a whole of t.v., but one show I’m sure to tivo is Project Runway. The object of the show is to take 16 aspiring designers, and challenge them to create clothing. Weekly, a contestant is deemed not worthy, and is eloquently booted by the lovely Heidi Klum.
 

 
I know I enjoy the show, but today my daughters demonstrated just how much they love it!
 

 
First, Natalie drew a design.
 

 
Then she ripped large chunks from her plastic Barbie tablecloth to fashion a dress. She sent her model (her sister, Pearl) to the *Hair & Make-up Salon* for lipstick, blush, and a futuristic up-do.
 

 
Here Pearl poses enthusiastically with a Project Runway model.
 

Professional model is wearing car parts.
 


 
Two of my favorite designs on the show have been…
 
Drag Queen Sailor
 

 
and the dress made entirely out of Plastic Blue Cups.
 

Gives a whole new meaning to *cup size*.

• What is your *Must See* show?
• Would you wear a plastic cup?
