Snap Judgement: Project Runway Season 10 Premiere

By -
I haven't been terribly excited about this season. The last few regular seasons of Project Runway have suffered from strange challenges, boring fashion and really poor judging calls. However, a few things about the season 10 premier make me hopeful.

1. Tim Gunn 
OK. Tim has be excited about any season of Project Runway, but I was reminded of this when he appeared on the screen last night.

2. The Eclectic Designers 
This years mix of designers seems more varied that the recent seasons. This cast isn't mostly made of young 20-something recent fashion school graduates. Yes, we still have one space cadet (I'm looking at you, Yooan). We have our token Lifetime demographic cast member (58-year-old Andrea), but she happens to hold several art degrees and work as an art and design professor. We do have our 22-year-old diva (Gunnar Deatherage, you're name is absurd). Most of these designers appear to have pretty strong points of view, so I'm hopefully they won't become increasingly homogenous and boring.

3. The Judges were on their game last night 
The judges did things right. They focused on fashion, didn't make a ton of nonsensical comments and came to a reasonable decision. Let's hope they keep this up.

 It's too early to say if season 10 well be great or even good. If they give the designers reasonable amounts of time to make their clothes (no one can do a stellar design in 4 hours), don't hand out stupid challenges, and go easy on the group challenges we might have some fun this season.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
