My New Work Team

August 8th, 2008 · No Comments

Today I asked my campers if they’d like to create a real collection and they were all for it! Woo! I’ve got a work team now!
Sandee can totally be stuck in Ottawa filming Project Runway, but I’ll make my mark at L’Oreal Fashion Week again.

Working Class Camp

August 7th, 2008 · No Comments

While teaching the design camp kids to sew buttonholes today, I came up with a BRILLIANT idea! They could help produce my samples! I’ve taught them well. They could do it! Now I know why I took this job at camp. Now I’ve got to get sketching. Hey…maybe I can teach them to make patterns […]

Wait, it’s August Already?

August 6th, 2008 · No Comments

Holy crap! I’ve been so focused on my “real job” and Project Runway that I totally, completely forgot that I should have Spring/Summer 09 samples ready to show buyers by the end of the month! I learned last season that I need sales appointments, but there’s no way I can get it all done. What […]

Project Doneway

August 5th, 2008 · No Comments

Oh, I’m so, so sad! Project Runway doesn’t want me. But Sandee said she got a second callback. She’s a good designer, but why didn’t they choose me? My designs are so progressive. They’d be perfect for TV.

Caribana Weekend

August 4th, 2008 · No Comments

This was the most colourful weekend I’ve ever experienced! Saturday’s Caribana parade was full of the BEST COSTUMES EVER! And the makeup…WOW! Amazing! Toronto felt so lively and cheerful. I loved it! Roti all weekend long! Mmmmm… Perhaps I can fit Caribana into my next collection.

Cloud Hunters and Mutants by Zoetica Ebb at PlastikWrap!

August 1st, 2008 · No Comments

Last night, PlastikWrap had the coolest gallery launch for Zoetica Ebb’s work. I can’t believe I met the girl who started Coilhouse and writes the Suicide Girls fashion column! Her art was a supercool mix of hot chicks and cool contraptions.
 
To make things even cooler, PlastikWrap and Zoetica collaborated on the neatest shirt ever! It’s black with an iridescent heat […]

Project Runway Callback?

July 31st, 2008 · No Comments

The Project Runway Canada producers haven’t called back, even though I’ve called every day to ask when I’d have my second audition.
When I told Sandee that I thought I’d get a callback, she just kind of said, “Good for you” and then went to work with her kids. I thought she’d be happy for me, […]

Reality Fights

July 30th, 2008 · No Comments

Uh oh again. Sandee didn’t talk to me at all yesterday after the meeting and then today she told me that I take her and Elmo for granted and only appreciate them when they get me out of problems.
Do I really act like that? I thought I was a good friend. I wasn’t the one […]

Project Runway Kids

July 29th, 2008 · No Comments

Uh oh. The campers took the style wars too far and started sabotaging each other’s work. My boss caught me encouraging the competition and brought Sandee and me into the office for questioning.
Sandee totally saved my ass and said that it was a deconstruction exercise inspired by Project Runway.

Canada’s Next Top Camp Kid Model

July 28th, 2008 · No Comments

Sandee’s kids and my kids are starting full-on fashion wars at the Design Exchange camp! I caught them in a runway competition. It was so cute (and a bit subversive)! My team rocked it best, of course! Maybe I should pitch a kids modelling competition to the producers of Project Runway if I get a […]
