The Fashion Show - ultimate collection

What better way to start a review than with a little TMI!
I had to wake up at the ungodly time of 4:30 this morning.  Hubby needed to get up and out the door, so I did the get-him-up-and-out-the-door thing.  Needless to say, by the time I got the kids to school I was ready to drop. 

So, when I got home, I wrapped up in a blanket (no snuggie for this girl), flipped on the tv and fell asleep to people styling hair with peanut butter, flour, squid, etc. 
When I woke up, I was looking at people introducing themselves and how fabulous they are and what clothes they have designed.  I said to myself, "Uh oh, this is the show I said I really didn't care about watching.... However, the mesmerizing song of the SIREN sucked me in....Teeeeerrrrryyyyy...realllllitttty ssshhhooooowwww! I figured, Okay, what the heck.

I think I can basically sum up this whole show by saying:  SERIOUSLY?

When the designers arrived at the studio, they were asked to choose a "sewing kit" in which had a number.  The designer then paired up with the anorexic-amazon model of the same number.  The designer then had to dress their model in a garment which "best represents them as a designer".    They had a quickie fashion show and at the end, all of the models were split in half striking their best pose when Iman himself....whoops HERself gingerly walked down the runway as if she was going to pull a Naomi Campbell  and wipeout!  Either that or she was concerned about breaking a hip!  (After all - according to her Bio she DID start her career in 1975.) On a side note.... I tried searching youtube for a clip of the infamous NC fall - they had it, but I didn't want to see a whole interview - however, I found something just as (maybe more) funny!!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CyqyLWeRQeo


I don't know who these guys are, but they're FAH-NEE!!

Okay - back on track: (Iman walking onto the runway...walking slow to protect her geriatric bones...looking cranky)

The designers were "OMG'ing"  like little school girls who were looking at the most popular girl in school hoping to be noticed by her!  Then she spoke:"MINIONS! MAKE ME YOUR MUSE!"

Seriously?

Oooooooooooookay.  "I want you to capture all of my sides...my glamorous side...my fun side.." I burst out laughing at that, just because I thought she was being sarcastic..and I love sarcasm.  The more I watched, the more I realized that she was dead serious!!  Fun side?  Seriously? She barely cracked a smile!!

Just this amount of time into the show I was really missing Heidi Klum and the best prissy man on this planet Tim Gunn. Sorry, but Isaac Mizrahi is a poor man's Tim.


The designers were divided up into two "teams".  They had to come up with some quasi-clever name.  One was "NAMI (oooo. knock my socks off with originality.)  and the second team was something lik Syx...something or other.  There is always a single person who stands out from the crowd by being original, funny, stylish or just a jerk.  Well...this show has the biggest diva of them all!!  Unfortunately, you have to read the subtitles to understand what kind of diva he is!  Yes, I'm talking about Tomato-tomato Calvin Tran.   He wanted to be on his own and he was going to let everyone know it...in subtitles!!  The syx house had some nice pieces, but wasn't fabulous....as lame as a name is, they had their sewing kits ruffled (which by the way, there was an overabundance of!)


At the end tomato-tomato was left standing along side Francine who had kind of a pretty dress, but not pretty enough.  The question the glamazon brought forth: The person with the bad dress...or the person with the bad attitude?  At that time I was jumping up and down on the couch going, "I know!! I know!!!  Ooo!! I know!!! Why send the person home with the tomato-tomato attitude!?  We need drama!!  Well, drama they kept!!!  Seriously?!
Yup, seriously!

So, this is my first and last time watching and writing about this show.  I just had to tell the world what kind of disaster I thought it was!!!!
