Project Runway Junkie

While I was in NJ, I came across this article in the USA Today.

Since Project Runway is the best reality show there is, I had to say I walked the same street, aisles etc as Santino and Robert B. I went out for my own tour. Parsons was a little hard to find. Here is what I thought was the building used on the show, but apparently it was on 7th, and this picture is the building on 5th. Oh well.



I then went to Mood. Took the same elevator that Austin, Angela and the others took to the second floor. Kinda neat, that they have a elevator attendant. The store is not that big, but there are lots and lots of reams/rolls of different fabrics. I saw the fabric that Austin used for his Grammy challange, which was also the one Santino used for his Inspiration challange. I also touched the fabric that Kayne used for the Miss USA challange. I can see why he thought it was more brown than lavender. It changes in the angle of the lights. It was surreal.



After this, I went to Macy's at Herealds Square (the season 3 sponsor) to see the actual garments. They had the INC display (which Angela won) and was selling the three pieces. Wow, they were pricy. But, strangly enough, quite fashionable. Even the "rosettes" looked like it belongs.



One of the display windows had all the winning garments (thus far). I really liked Michaels hot pink hot pants outfit. Where these people come up with their designs are crazy, and brilliant.
