Guilty pleasures and randomocity

I'm getting caught up in Project Runway again this season.

For those who know me this could be totally astonishing. I know, I don't seem to be the type to get into fashion, but there are a couple of reasons I dig this show. Three, I can think of, right off the top of my head.

  1. Fashion is an art, and as an artist I feel the need to have some sort of understanding of it--what makes something "good", something "not good", that sort of thing. I'm actually starting to get a feel for it, I think.
  2. I always love to hear artists--no matter what their medium--discuss their art. It's almost always enlightening. It's cool to me to hear what the designers are thinking when they create a look according to the rules of a particular challenge. The creative process is endlessly fascinating to me.
  3. Anya. I'm in love. She's so frakkin' hot. And brilliant. Well, except for last week. Though it was a menswear challenge and my new love has no experience with that. Fortunately the judges cut her some slack and let her stay. So, I can enjoy her hotness for at least one more week.
No, I'm not surrendering my man card because I dig this show. I know, it's not a guy thing, but as usual I don't care. And I'm watching a college football game right now as I type this. (UGA vs Ole Miss) So there.

While you're visiting MyLifetime.com, check out the preview for Five, a Lifetime movie that'll be airing October 10. In case you missed it, my goddaughter is in it. She's in the trailer you'll see at the above link, too, just for a second, about 40 seconrds or so in. Right after a shot of Rosario Dawson running down a hallway, there's a shot of a little girl with someone touching her face--that's my Sweets.

In a little bit I'm going to do some ideation exercises to help me come up with a new project. I've got some ideas for diffferent things but none of them are especially appealing to me right now. I need something new. Hopefully playing with a dictionary will lead to something interesting.

But not just yet. Atari wants to go walkies, like,  right now.
