Project Runway Canada – Finale

I’m kinda disappointed that I didn’t call the winner of PRC way, way ahead of time. There were so many hints.

Now that the media embargo is finished I can talk about the runway show. My choices for the top 3 were wrong by 1. I thought Stephen Wong was one of the top 3. Let me tell you the applause track they added to the finalist’s runway shows was laughable, completely laughable. I don’t know why it was necessary and it cheapened the whole thing.

I was surprised that they used the Biddell/Lucian war to the bitter end. In hindsight I should have realized that they would milk it for all it’s worth.

I laughed my ass of when Rita started crying over Lucian’s collection. It was beautiful, not really my style, but beautiful none the less, and it’s only clothing in the end.

To me PRC totally followed the American model down to their “Rock and roll and edgy” young designer. He reminds me of Jay. Hopefully Biddell will have an easier time getting his label off the ground.

Lucian was a graceful loser, very mature compared to Biddell’s actions on the runway.

Well it’s over and I can’t wait for next season.

A Pod Bed for my cats
Pod bed by Hepper Home

The Pod offers the security of a mountaintop cave with way more style. It serves as your pet’s own personal sanctuary – a perfect place for curling up to snooze, hide, or reign supreme.

This is a great little hiding/sleeping spot for the kitties.

Ahh that explains a lot

I’ve always been a little confused with sizing, depending on the country of origin (not the places where these items are actually made) they are different. A size 7.5 in the US standard doesn’t translate to 38 oversees like I assumed. I saw this chart on the site luisaviaroma.com and thought I’d post it for your information.

I don’t like most of the options available so I’m not very excited. It can’t just be me, there is something way wrong with this bubble hem. The options are expanding so maybe in the future they will have something I don’t find horrible.
