t has never watched Project Runway, but keeps meaning to
Wait, the show has participants that CAN'T SEW?! How? How the hell did they get through the selection process? Do they hotglue everything together?
t / will eventually succumb and watch the show
I have never watched either. The part that confuses me is that they can have no reference books-- if I couldn't have a patternmaking reference book, I would be seriously hampered. Draping a pattern is not really any easier than drafting, if you are doing it correctly.
At the audition she said she sewed all the samples, and they specifically asked her, so I guess there was some concern about her sewing skills even then, though we didn't see her saying "I only started sewing 4 months ago" like Anya.
They all have to be able to sew enough to get through the auditions, but I think in Beatrice's case, her clothes might have been made by her, but they took a lot longer than usual because she's not very skilled at sewing.
This conversation is especially funny if you have never watched Project Runway and are imagining Buffy Anya as a contestant. Who can't sew. And probably makes bunny costumes.
And then there's actually a contestant named Buffy this season, who is nothing like our Buffy. Sara's in love with the leopard side of her head, though.
Aw, I kind of like contemplating what her revenge-themed collection with scary-bunny accents would look like. A strong POV, you know who her girl is.
What I don't understand about Beatrice - surely she's watched the show and seen how little time they get for challenges?
She spells it Buffi with an "i". She must have counted on being the entertaining/grating wackjob mascot of this bunch as her shtick, but she couldn't have foreseen someone like Kooan (?) being present to steal her thunder. I think Buffi is a poseur. Kooan is genuinely off to his own la-la land in a way I can sort of respect.
I agree with you entirely, Vonnie.
Between this and finding out that Kat Von D has her own high-end clothing line (which I'm certain she designed, no really), I more than ever wish I could start my own damn fashion house.
