Was That You on Project Runway?

Let's address the elephant in the room. Perhaps he exists only in my mind. 
Yep, that was me on Project Runway. A foray into the NYC fashion world. I am a lazy blogger. I will not give you what you want to know, only what I feel like writing about. I will add links here to the articles and blogs other people wrote. I will happily answer questions.

It was, in a word, uh-maziiiiiing! Thanks to all who had a hand in getting us there! And to Tim and Heidi, and Zac, of course, who were all very warm to us all. 

We were plucked, tweezed, buffed, polished, painted, dabbed, sprayed, trimmed, dyed and blow-dried. There was at any given point a team of professionals making us look camera ready at every moment. I will never long for the hair and makeup perfection of a celebrity because now I know that just off camera are are team - a TEAM of fluttering hair and makeup
specialists just twitching to reapply layers of powder, gloss, and hair spray, constantly & incessantly fluffing fluffing fluffing the hair. Shuushing, I believe, is the technical term.  



If Johnny Lavoy (who is an awesome sweetie by the way) wants to come to my house and do my hair before work, I would be happy to have him. It would be actually pretty awesome if a team of hair and makeup people just followed me around the Learning Commons for a day. Primping while I take attendance, reshelve books, etc. Until then, my brand new L'Oreal Wild Ombré is going back in the messy librarian chic knot. Sorry team. I'll take it out for special occasions like...going to Target. Ha!

*And let's just note here - if I even GET to go to Target alone for a half an hour, it IS a major event that I am thankful for. I'll take it!
