The Fashion Show

I was super stoked when I got a call saying that I was invited to the filming of the season finale of ‘ The Fashion Show, Season 2′. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the show, it is a series Bravo started to replace its former hit Project Runway. The show is about fashion designers competing to become the next big name in fashion. The contestants compete against each other to create the best garments and are usually restricted in time, materials, and theme.

This year the judges were fashion designer Isaac Mizrahi, supermodel Iman, as well as Mary J. Blige, Glenda Bailey (Harper’s Bazaar) and Laura Brown (Harper’s Bazaar).

There were 3 designers that competed to the end…but for show security they didn’t allow audience to see all 3 shows. Wayne and I were lucky (it helps to have a hot husband!) and got front row seats for both shows.  Sorry, but I wasn’t allowed to take in my camera…or my phone-so I don’t have any pictures:(

It was mentioned that for the designer’s final collections they had 7 days to create 10 looks! I’m not a designer or a seamstress… but I do know that is not a lot of time! This resulted in a few unfinished looks…a few strings hanging off the ends of the skirts…and a lot of unfinished hems. I can’t say a lot about the show….but the second show was far better than the first-the colors, the cohesiveness and the overall ideas for the garments.

The families of the designers were from Ohio, Seattle and California. At least that is what the family members were saying-so maybe that gives us some hints;) After one of the shows, some of the family of the designers were crying and hugging each other. It was kinda cute to see the support and that this isn’t just a TV show…its a designer’s chance at breaking into the business.

It was a fantastic day…not only was I at a fashion show, but I was sitting directly across from the gorgeous Iman.  And to top it all off I got to spend this dream day with my hunky husband! Luvs!

Who will be eliminated tonight?

America’s Next Top Model casting call is coming to……Yuba City?!!!  Is this a joke?   Are we being Punk’d?  This morning tons of long-legged beauties showed up from all over at Forever 21 to strut their stuff in hopes of a spot on cycle 16.  I wonder if they knew they’d be filling out a 20 page application?!  Here’s a peek at what took place today at our lil’ ol’ Yuba Sutter Mall…

Good Luck Ladies!

Elizabeth in Wonderland {teens + seniors}

We were both really excited to do a series with sweet, beautiful Lizz while back home. We wanted to pretty her all up for one session and rock her out for another.  It was really fun to do two completely opposite looks on Lizz and watch her go into character with each one.  After enduring all the primping, wearing a dress (gasp!), and riding a 90 pound fossil of a bike, we were surprised that she was still up for the second shoot!  Thank you Lizz for trusting us.  You are a beautiful soul.

The following images are ‘Lizz Enchanted’ …and in a short while we’ll post images from her edgier shoot.


This week I came across a photo of the same Zac Posen dress….who wore it better? Lynda Erkiletian from Real Housewives of DC or our own beautiful Lizz?

Keeping it real with Dr. Oz

While mom was here in New York we got tickets to go to a taping of the Dr. Oz show. I love going to show tapings…its so interesting to see the cameras, the set….the way the whole show comes together.

A few things I learned from Dr. Oz:
→The best day to go grocery shopping is Wednesday-all the new groceries are put out and old stuff on sale.
→Don’t keep your eggs in the door of the fridge AND don’t keep your potatoes & onions in the fridge.
→The best day to make a doctor appointment is on a Monday.
→Keeping a fern or spider plant in our living areas can purify and rejuvenate air within our homes. They also safeguard us all from side effects connected with toxins such as formaldehyde, ammonia and also benzene.

→Kamloops is in Saskatchewan….? um…well….he was close….kinda…? When he met mom, she mentioned that she was from Saskatchewan…he replied, ‘Ah yeah! I’ve been there, I’ve been to Kamloops!” haha….but Hey! Usually when you say Canada, they only know Toronto or Montreal-so I’ll give him that!
