Because I always root for the underdog
Posted on | October 18, 2006 |
I’m so happy Jeffery won on Project Runway! (My one tv watching obsession is hereby revealed.) I loved his couture dress, and that green striped dress with the exquisite detail. I could ever get up the guts to really let my hair down and dress my inner wild self, I’d wear his clothes. (Stop gasping. I know I never where anything but jeans, and an exciting day for me in fashion is a pair of heeled boots. But just imagine. I’m good at imagining.)
Another good thing? I have off the next two days, and am thrilled to have time to hang out with my little guy, and make food, and play with friends, and in genral, catch up on life. Bean seems to have been missing me big time tonight. Every time I’d stop rocking and prepare to put him to bed, thinking he was sound asleep, he’d roust himself and say “grock! grock!” I didn’t quite get what he was saying at first, but then I realized it was “rock!” as in, ‘keep rocking me mommy.” And so I did, humming songs in the dark, and feeling emotions rise and then ebb away as my mind gradually stilled.
Here’s to quiet moments, good wins, and long weekends.

I’m not so happy, because he was SUCH an asshole throughout the whole thing. Would it have killed him to be a little nice? (I really didn’t think he cheated, but still going over budget was not cool.) Yet I am happy as he’s overcome a lot - but I really wanted Uli, simply because her dresses were so very beautiful. And Laura’s stuff was just, like they said, meticulously beautiful - I hope she finds a niche and does well. I can understand how a woman with five boys needs to surround herself with the pretty things of life!!
I did like the stripedy green dress of Jeffrey’s, though. And the blazer as well.

i was happy he won too. when tim gunn told him that he would be able to show at bryant park & he started crying, I almost started crying. and, really, project runway should not make a person cry.
enjoy your long weekend - hope there are many quiet moments with bean.

As I was under the influence of watermelontinis last night, I didn’t even wish you a wonderful long weekend with your boys! What a gift! I hope you spend some time throwing around paint and ingredients in the kitchen. Be well, you Jeffrey-sympathizer, you.

Fantastic! I’ve missed a few episodes but I was really really hoping it’d be him. Rockout!

I was happy about Jeffrey, also. I was hoping that Michael would make a good showing, but all he really showed was “hoochie.”
Have a nice break - enjoy that sweet boy!

Wonderful! Enjoy the time away from work, bask in the love of family.
I missed the finale…
But I’ll catch the rerun for sure, especially because Jeffrey got it!

I thought the judges did it perfectly. Michael’s stuff was sophomoric, Laura’s stuff was incredible from a sewing point of view but she didn’t have any design that was new and different. Uli’s work was simply beautiful, but I understood why they chose Jeffrey and I was really glad he won– i think it all worked out perfectly.
and you, my dear, have the MOST wonderful long, fat, delicious weekend!!!!!

I was surprised how emotional both Jol and I were watching that final episode! I am glad Jeffrey won, because his work does have such a cool edge and fabulous style, although I also really love Uli’s clothes. I think all three of the finalists are going to have great carreers. As far as the nasty outbreaks and sniping that went on…ugh, can you even imagine what it would be like to work under pressure with a group of super-creative people you don’t know who are all competing for the same thing….and then have a film crew following you around 24/7! Yikes. I’d be on many people’s bitch list! Anyway…I’m looking forward to the next Project Runway…it’s such fun:>
I hope you have a splendid long weekend! It must be really beautiful in your part of the world right now.
