The second artist whose final project is featured on the Work of Art blog is my very talented friend and >writing partner Timothy Forry. You can see his submissions there. Here’s a little peek:
Heidi: On the most recent episode of Lifetime’s Project Runway, the designers were asked to create a high fashion look and a ready-to-wear companion to appear in a L’Oréal Paris ad.
Barbie: The designers could make choices from themes based on L’Oréal’s new eyeshadow palettes: bright, matte, metallic, crystal, and velvet.
Summer: After Tim Gunn warned the designers that velvet would be the most challenging, of course I picked it for Becks.
Barbie: And I picked Noelle to wear velvet, because she’s definitely a high-fashion model. Then I chose Cari to model Becks’ daytime look.
Heidi: Speaking of looks, earlier in the week, I ordered more glam looks for Barbie, Summer, and me from Becks. This is what she delivered.
Barbie: I’m happy!
Summer: Me, too.
Heidi: It could have been shorter. Now let’s see if Becks can make L’Oréal happy.
I have many things to post about, and first up: if you haven’t already seen the first final project submission on the Work of Art blog, you must check out Sean Kramer’s photo series “Cheveux.” SO FUN and creative!
Just a little glimpse:
Holy Bubbles Batman!
It’s a little sad when not being able to come up with a subject/title keeps me from posting, but indeed, I have been staring at my monitor for about five minutes with a vacant expression. Much the same way a lot of people watch television.
It’s weird seeing people talk about Survivor online when I’m not watching it for the first time in six years. (I was late to the show. Got hooked during the first All Stars, saw available past seasons on DVD, and have watched it since.) Although I’m sure Mark Burnett doesn’t miss me, Lynne’s dogs might, as we’re no longer having Survivor nights. Sorry, Dogs of Green Acres. I miss you, too.
While sewing or cooking or preparing dog veggie cubes or other domestic-type things, I’ve been checking out The Compound DVDs, watching movies I haven’t seen in a while–or ever. Since I can’t seem to figure out how to work our remotes to the TV/DVR/DVD player, the ease of watching on my computer is a real treat. I also re-watched all six seasons of Sex and the City. Because I only saw it once before, it was most enjoyable.
One of my favorite characters on SATC is Harry Goldenblatt, played by Evan Handler. He’s probably the only character other than Steve who I never wanted to shake at some point. Wait–there’s also Smith. But I digress.
I didn’t realize that in addition to being an actor, Handler is a writer, a journalist, and a cancer survivor. And today he wrote an article that I really enjoyed on the Huffington Post site about how we need to grow up politically.
Now I like Harry and the person who played him.
In other entertainment news, RIP to Eddie Fisher. I think the Debbie Reynolds/Eddie Fisher/Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton drama might have been the beginning of the public’s obsession and construction of celebrity culture as we know it today.

*I don’t mean this as a compliment.
It’s the first day of fall in the U.S. and Canada. For some reason, fall starts on the twenty-third for countries in Europe. Celebrate early!
Heidi: On the most recent episode of Lifetime’s Project Runway, the designers were asked to create an American sportswear look inspired by Jackie Kennedy.
Barbie: The show’s designers seemed to be very confused by what those directions meant, so I knew I had to pick the right model to keep Becks on track. Someone with a bit of a Jackie look, but current.
Summer: Fortunately, Mattel always comes through, this time with Barbie Basics 1.5, Model No. 13.
Heidi: She’s lucky thirteen!
Barbie: Also known as Morgan.
Heidi: Speaking of lucky, this bubbly dress makes me feel like I’m at the Mermaid Lounge in Vegas.
Barbie: I feel like I’m in a bubblegum dress!
Summer: I feel pretty.
Heidi: Does Becks make Morgan feel pretty? Let’s check it out.
