I feel like I have missed many days of HAED, but despite that, I'm quite happy with this past fortnight. It seems like I have gotten quite a lot done and I'm nearly at the end of my second full page.

Now I no longer have big, big clumps but the remainder stitches aren't as bad as single stitches. So I theoretically should be able to get this page done by the end of this week. Here's my progress:

I've just finished watching the first season of Project Runway Canada.


I'm a huge Project Runway fan, I've seen all five seasons of the American Project Runway, as well as the first season of the Australian version. The Canadian version is a little bit different, especially in regards to how they edit it. I'm not too fond of the host, Iman. In some of the episodes where she doesn't agree with the opinion of the other judges, she just cuts them off and says "Well you're wrong!" Which is sorta silly as well as rude since its fashion, not maths.

They had some interesting challenges, the first episode had them choosing 3 pieces of clothes belonging to another designer and making an outfit out of it. Another challenge, they had to use old umbrellas. One challenge was to design outfits for a Bratz doll and the judge was saying that one of the designs had a slit that was too high, Bratz dolls can't be so revealing. I was a bit surprised at that, because Bratz dolls are so overly skanky! At least, the dress with the slit looks sort of classy, as well as sexy.

My favourite designer was Marie Genevieve, right from the first episode. She made a really cute dress, out of someone's bathrobe. It ended up looking really cool and expensive and not one bit like it was made of toweling material. She was one of the final 3 designers, but unfortunately she didn't win. I quite liked her collection, it was quite strong visually but the comments were that it wasn't cohesive as some of the clohtes seem for a younger audience and some were more sophisticated.

The winner was Biddell, who really is very talented. However I didn't like him because he won one challenge and it gave him such a big head! Also, he always acted misunderstood, just because he was the youngest. That really pissed me off, as it was like he was trying to stress how he's a rebel but I don't think the things he did was really that "out there" to warrant him making such a big fuss over it.

But overall, the series was quite good. Unlike the Australian series, the challenges were interesting and I thought the judging was pretty spot on. I hope they will have more seasons very soon. And I hope Marie Genevieve makes it as a big designer, as I really liked her designs and would definitely get her clothes.
