project run & play - i ain't no nina garcia


most of you know how much i love project runway. i'm a diehard fan. even though i have seen all the seasons i still continue to watch the reruns almost every night at 11:00pm on a channel that i will forever love just for re-airing them. i have even watched the australian and of course, the canadian seasons as well. they are also fabulous and lots of fun. so you can imagine my surprise, excitement and shock when micalah (mom of 2 and sewing addict) from "project run & play" asked me to be a judge for her new blog! it's a play on project runway all based on clothing for kids!!!!! heaven.



i think i reread the email about 10 times thinking she sent it to the wrong person. i quickly said yes and then went and checked out who the designers were......OMG! i just about fainted. how in the world am i supposed to judge these insanely and i mean insanely talented ladies? i mean i ain't no nina garcia or michael kors here ladies. the closest i can get to the show is that i know how to say Auf Wiedersehen like heidi because i'm german (oh heidi, what were you thinking with your outfit to the globes?). honestly though, it's only been one week but i was truly blown away. i mean check this out...the first week's theme was "winter wonderland"...
