Hello, readers. I’m Mattel Top Model Summer, and I’ll be appearing on this LJ every Monday over the next few weeks. Maybe you’ve heard of the fashion reality show Project Runway, which begins its fifth season tonight (9/8 Central) on Bravo. With the help of Becky (or “Becks” as she’s frequently called, not to be confused with the Becks who married Posh Spice), I’ll be part of the LJ Runway challenge described in this announcement from LJ’s own Marika “Heidi Gunn” NOLA.
Becks will be my designer as we complete each week’s Project Runway challenge. You don’t have to watch Bravo’s show to enjoy Becks’s unequaled sense of fashion or what she calls my FEARLESS runway attitude. You can even be a celebrity judge one week (find out how to apply from Marika’s post, linked above).
Oh, there are some other designers, too–this guy and this guy, along with two additional Mattel Top Models. There’ve been rumors that you may see some of the workroom tensions and model drama on days other than Monday. That’s why the Clorox Wipes in the workroom are as big as the designers’ egos–things may get messy.
See you on Runway Mondays!
GACK!!!
Why did I have to plan my vacation for this week??!!
Why don’t I own a laptop computer??!!
Why am I out of Clorox Wipes??!!
You are out of Clorox wipes? Oh, I have just lost so much respect for you. The very thought of not having any in the house sent chills down my spine…
(bragging and angling for points with the judge) I just finished off that container and opened another.
(There was a Terrible Event in the office and now Guinness is banished in disgrace.)
Ah, it is a truly wise designer who has a spare container of Clorox wipes.
I think it would be best if you cancel your vacation.
Although I was looking forward to the photos.
I soooo cannot wait for this. And by “this,” I mean the show and this competition!
Have you honed your snarking skills? I see that Mark and Tim haven’t introduced their models and explained the competition. This tells me who’ll be in the sewing room jabbing needles into their models while they sew on their dresses as Tim Gunn’s giving them the five-minute warning.
Set for “snark.”
The things we have to do to get your dolls out of off-the-rack. : )
“No sacrifice is too great for fashion.”
(I don’t know who said that, but someone must have.)
It was probably said seconds before someone pushed a model into an active volcano.
Angus Remington, no doubt.
Or Blaine, torturing Sheila at some photo shoot.
“I won’t jump into an active volcano for less than ten thousand dollars a day.”–Linda Evangelista
And the snarkiness begins…leave it to the scoundrel Mark G Harris to start things off!
Hello,Summer. I’ll be one of your celebrity judges! =0)
Darn–if I’d only known this before you bought that car…
I does have a loan that needs to be paid…lol *Gives Summer his full attention*
I object!
I, on the other hand, cannot be bought. I alone can see fashion for what it truly is, and should be.
Transparent?
You forgot shallow, self-indulgent, and self-important!
It was implied.
