Project Runway Week 6

Audrey has been working on her sketches as you can see by the picture. The first one is for Miley Cyrus to wear on the red carpet and the second is for Beth (my wife) to wear out. Audrey says her mom likes ruffles which you can see at the bottom of the dress.

Now onto the show.

It was a tough week for Audrey even though it was her favorite challenge EVER, she saw her favorite almost go home. But Amy survived and can still make it to Bryant Park. Audrey was glad that one of her fears didn't come true, when she saw the previews Audrey said, "I hope Nina Garcia doesn't scare the children"

Here's her weekly take on the designers:

Mila: Audrey liked the pink and green blocking on the kid's clothing, but thought the "cow fabric" was a bad pick for the edging.

Emilio: Audrey thought he used too much pink on the kids, but his adult outfit was her favorite!

Ben: It was OK.. "one of the middle guys"

Amy: The pants were wacky on the model and Audrey says she cannot defend, but she disagreed on the kids outfit. Audrey would wear that and be just fine. (Audrey also picked up a new expression because she did not know what "dressed in a closet" meant) She is still Audrey's favorite and we are hoping for a big bounce back week!

Seth: Seth's kid's outfit was Audrey's favorite. She also thought the girl model was cute and has been imitating her all week by saying "I like my puurrrse" Audrey loved the watermelon pockets and hood.

Jay: Audrey liked the color the most of any part of either outfit. She thought the "mismatch" with the model's top and the kid's skirt really worked well.

Anthony: The flower pattern at the top of the kid's outfit really worked. Mommy liked Anthony's dress.

Jeneane: She may be nice but Audrey says she "had to go". Too much drama and too simple of outfits.

Jesse: The model "actually showed out" this time.. not sure what that means but Audrey was very specific on her critique. Audrey liked the kid's outfit but wasn't overly impressed with the dress. The model look was cool.

Jonathan: Audrey was ok with what he was trying to do but it did look like toilet paper. He may not last much longer even though he's one of daddy's favorites.

Maya: Even though Jesse talked of Madeline, Audrey thought Maya's looked "too Madeline" She was not enthused about it.

THOUGHTS ON MODELS OF RUNWAY: Audrey was surprised that Cerri was not good with kids because she seems nice. She was sad to see Megan go home because she had made friends that were like sisters to her.

Thanks for reading!

Project Runway Week 5

First we were off last week. Audrey was at her grandparents so we didn't get a chance to update, but she was happy that her favorite Amy won a challenge! On to Week 5:

Mila: Audrey thought her dress looked like a bandage (as did some of the judges). She's not as good as she thinks she is

Emilio: Audrey liked the design and can't believe the judges let him cut the straps off while on the runway. It was better without them though.

Ben: He's the opposite of Anthony when it comes to personality. His dress was good and his model looked happy.

Amy: Still the favorite and Audrey loved the print that she used.

Seth: Audrey did not like his suit or the color.

Jay: It looked like a wedding dress to Audrey, maybe should be on a Bridal Magazine.

Anthony: He seemed pretty excited to win. Audrey agreed with judges that this was the best dress this week. Loved the color!

Anna: She tried her best to make three pieces but it didn't come out good. The shorts didn't really match the vest which didn't really match the shirt. She was nice but had to go home.

Jeneane: She's in she cries. She's out she cries. Audrey did like the sleeves of the dress but the rest of it seemed plain and cheap.

Jesse: Audrey liked the design but not the color. It didn't stand out.

Jonathan: His outfit looked like butter (in a good way) but it was way, way, way, way too short.

Maya: Audrey didn't like the "thing around the neck"

So that's the summary this week. Audrey is excited that they are doing kids clothes next week. I think she'll have a lot to say.

Project Runway Week 3

Ping Pong has got to go... and she did. That sums up Audrey's take on the episode. She thought it was a hard challenge when they threw in the second dress. Audrey says she thinks she would be a better teammate than most of the designers on the show. Here's her take:

Mila: Even though she won, Audrey "hasn't seen anything from her"... Audrey thought the coat she designed looked like a peacock with big eyes. Surprised the judges liked it so well.

Emilo: Audrey still likes his dresses, Hollywood style from NYC.

Ben: Still "in the middle guy"

Amy: Still Audrey's favorite, but stuck working with Jesus.

Seth: He was hampered working with Anthony.

Jay: Audrey was disappointed Jay didn't help out more because he had immunity. Thought he should be a better team player.

Anthony: Two things keep Anthony around.. Ping was awful and he makes people laugh. But his talent level, or lack thereof, is being exposed.

Ping: Why do we need a closeup of her crying at the end? Audrey can't believe she didn't see it coming when she didn't know how to sew?

Anna: Still remains second favorite. Working with Emilio this week will help her in the future.

Jeneane: Still the drama queen, and her design was weak this week.

Jesus: Audrey kind of liked his dress for the first time, probably the fact that he was teamed with Amy

Jesse: Audrey was sad for him that he was stuck with Ping. Audrey liked the fact that his model backed him up on the runway.

Jonathan: Daddy's favorite, Audrey has him just out of the top 5 so far but rising.

Maya: Kept saying Jay wasn't helping because he had immunity. Her dress looked Egyptian, but Audrey liked it.

BONUS THOUGHTS ON MODELS OF THE RUNWAY: Sophia deserved to be kicked off. A model allergic to hairspray, what is up with that? Lorena was the best model like the judges said. Megan is new and has no idea what to do and she shouldn't blame the designer.

Come back next week for more!
Make it work people!

Project Runway Week 2

Let's get the obvious out of the way first. Audrey is a little concerned that they used the bad word (@ss) so much in this week's show. But I guess when you are talking about a model who's butt was hanging out.. it couldn't be avoided. So on with the contestant grades for Week 2:

Mila - wasn't Audrey's favorite, didn't mind it being revealing (or as we say the "boobs hanging out") but looked too much like string that you could unravel

Emilio - another good week

Ben - another middle guy

Amy - Audrey's favorite (I will say as a witness, she said Amy would win this episode from the beginning.. didn't win, but did make final three) Audrey is predicting fashion week for her.

Seth - Audrey liked the hoodie

Jay - even though he won, Audrey still not impressed with this stuff

Anthony - still funny, dress good this week

Ping - butt showing outfit! the top though was ok.. not hopeful that she will be around much longer

Anna - Audrey's second favorite at this point

Christiane - out last week

Jeanne - still drama but Audrey liked her dress

Jesus - should have been eliminated this week, follow the challenge buddy!

Pamela - was bad but should have stayed over Jesus

Jesse - was he even in this week's episode?

Jonathan - Audrey says he's daddy's favorite, and she is right.. keep going Elvis Costello

Maya - her outfit was kinda crazy looking, surprised she wasn't lower

Stay tuned for weekly updates!

Project Runway Review

OK, so I really haven't updated Audrey's blog since discovering FB last year, but I'm making an effort to revive with her help.

As many of you know, my little fashionistas favorite show is Project Runway. I thought it would be fun to get her take from week to week.

So we went though the Project Runway Web site and here's a 7-year-old's take on Season 7 contestants:

Mila - She's not the best, but not the worst.

Emilio - He's Audrey's favorite, even before the judges said he won.

Ben - Ben is OK, we'll see what he can do later.

Amy - Kinda like her

Seth - He's really good, Audrey agrees with Tim that he needs to lay off the zippers and he will be final three.

Jay - He's another middle of the packer.

Anthony - THE FUNNIEST! which will keep him around on the show even if he makes bad clothes. (Audrey already knows how the business works)

Ping - Pong has got to go, what did the judges see in her?

Anna - Audrey's best friend's name is Anna so she has to love her.

Christiane - She was one of Audrey's favorites when they showed some of the work that got them on the show, why was she stupid during the first challenge?

Jeanane - DRAMAQUEEN! Audrey liked her work but since she re-did her dress it may get better (BTW, I refered to her as Jan Brady and Audrey did not understand the reference)

Jesus - Audrey not a fan of the "snake" dress

Pam - Audrey really liked her and is looking forward to seeing more.

Jesse - Not bad

Jonathan - Great work, Audrey likes him (another daddy reference when I called him Elvis Costello, Audrey only knows one Elvis and she was confused)

Maya - Another middle of the roader

Let's see how she does, watch out Nina Garcia.
