One week from today is the first show of Project Runway’s Season 9 on Lifetime. This is one reason why I’ve been getting my Model Muse pool in order. I have no idea which dolls I’ll use, but I’ll probably start with new models, of which I’ve acquired several since the previous season.
The lineups of familiar and new models are these:
Tim Gunn poses with the Birthstone Beauties. Standing left to right: Dandy, Natalie, Tajma, Patricia, Katie, Sarah, Emily, Toni. Sitting, left to right: Olivia, Gina, Ava, Lily.
From the Basics 01 collection, left to right: Marcella, Laura Lee, Alexandria, Jillian, Maia, Cassidy, Tabitha, Rachel, Justine.
From the Basics 02 denim collection, left to right: DJ, Amelia, Arlina.
From the Basics Red collection, left to right: Sharon, Rome, Juliet.
I have three of four Basics 1.5 dolls, left to right: Morgan, Louise, Gail.
Random Model Muse dolls, left to right: Grace, Barcelona, Cari, Victoria, Esperanza, Dallas, Heidi 2, Ellison, Heidi 1, Rocky, Christine, Noelle.
And of course, the Top Models, who began this madness.
Left to right: Summer, Lacy, Susannah, Rita, Tamala, Faizah, Barbie, Kikki, Maggie, Tanya, Jessica, Abby
Finally, in case they’re needed, male models are standing by. They do not have names yet, but I’m taking suggestions. If you give me a name and I choose it, there’ll be a prize. Damn if I know what the prize is, but I’ll come up with something. Here you see the unnamed Basics 2.0 models posing with Twilight’s most malicious vampire, Jane.
I’m disqualifying either “Edward” or “Jacob” as their names, and not just because I have the actual Edward and Jacob dolls. I’m refusing to choose Team Edward or Team Jacob. When New Moon director Chris Weitz is asked to choose a team, he always diplomatically says, “Team Bella.” But I’m not Team Any Vampire, because in truth, I am Team Bella’s Truck. It is the thing she has that I most envy. In the book, it’s a 1953 Chevy, like this one:
In the movie, it’s this 1963 Chevy:
Frankly, I would love either of these trucks, or any old beat-up red truck that Kathy S could keep running for me. (Hi, Kathy!) Until then, I’ll just dream of Bella’s truck. Now you know my true secret Twilight obsession. I got those pictures from the web site On Screen Cars, and you can read more about the Chevys or vehicles in other movies on that site. If you’re into that kind of thing.
Bryce!
Good suggestion. We have some friends with a son named Bryce, too.
Anthony or Victor
Thanks! Your names have joined the list. =)
Troy
Damon
Christian
Salvatore
Samuel
You didn’t name any of the female dolls Harper Seven?
I absolutely love the name Harper so much, and I get the Seven–it’s his number, right? Don’t know if I’d have used it, but it’s unique, at least!
Thanks, I’ve added your suggestions to the list.
Fabrezio and Fontaine – twin brothers from the romance Loves Fatal Fury
Mozelle and Majesty twin brothers from Loves Fatal Fury II: Passion’s Frenzy
Shasta and Sibian twin brothers from Loves Fatal Fury III : Passion Fights Back
Bronwyck and Belyn twiin brothers from Love’s Fatal Fury:The New Generation
You seem to have a twin obsession. Clearly, if twins, my guys are fraternal.
I have added your suggestions to the list.
Diobolique and Desmihahn sworn enemies later revealed to be …COUSINS in Love’s Frenzied Fury
This love franchise seems to be on mood elevators.
Desmihahn … BEST NAME EVER!
Hi back at cha’ 🙂 … How about Lance and Drew ??? I don’t know why …. they just popped into my head when I saw the models. Looking forward to tomorrow night ( or tonight if I need to be correct ) …. and YES I will keep the ” Red Truck ” running for you !
Looking forward to it.
One day when the time is right, my old red truck will appear.
Your names will go in the hat with the others. I’m a little worried about Marika and her twin fixation, though.
THANKS for a FANTASTIC Evening 🙂 … paybacks gonna be hell , just so ya know …. Don’t worry about the ” twin ” fixation …. swamp koolers are alot like McGuyvers …. THEY CAN FIX WHATEVER AILS YOU …. honest …. just ask your ????? Shit I forgot the name …. now I have to wait for the UPS delivery to finish this chapter of …. you know what ….
Ha. You’re funny. But what if Marika gets another swamp cooler and names them Diobolique and Desmihahn? Then you’ll know she’s twin obsessed.
As for paybacks, I gave you cutlery and conditioner! That’s like a sister wife pact.
Actually the twins have a whole name …Diobolique and Desnihahn Swamperson. Of the Lousiana Swampersons.
Solomon (always pronounced Sōlōmŏn) and Kresko and they are definitely not related. Except sometimes maybe sexually.
Thank you for your suggestions–they’ve been added to the list.
Damien and Dante
Added to the list, thanks!
Placeholder so I can keep up:
From Nora on FB: Guy on the left is obviously Kevyn with a y…(like the guy from Zoolander) and the other model is London. My work here is done.
I love how your dolls have their own life and history! I feel that way about the plastic animals too.
It’s so easy to see that with your photos. They have so much personality due in no small part to your staging. Love them.
Thano and Vinny. They aren’t twins, but they are brothers. And that is QUITE the dolly collection you have there, missy!
Your names have been added to the “potentials” list. This collection is nothing–just the models. There are more than two hundred dolls in storage. I think they are all pictured in this Flickr set. Though some seem to always slip by my need to document them. They must be the anti-big government dolls in the bunch.
