Project Runway

Today's challenge had the designers design and make prom dresses. They also showed some of the designer's prom pictures and that made me wish I could do prom all over again.

I loved and hated my dress (don't get me started on my date). It was a halter top dress, but my mom didn't want anyone to notice I was a woman, so she had the seamstress make the halter higher. All it did was make my boobs look bigger which was really funny because the guys in my group (who have known me since elementary) hadn't realized I developed C cups.

But that's the story of my life. My mom would always agree for me to stand in girls' quinceñeras, except she'd always make the seamstresses cover my entire chest. Except for one time when she didn't go to any of the fittings. Is it a surprise that Gracie's green quinceñera dress was my favorite? It was an off the shoulder green emerald dress and I would wear it while watching TV in my room on Saturday nights.

My second favorite was a beautiful two piece outfit. The skirt was a gray-blue floor length jobbie (I ended up using that fabric to make my brother an Aladdin costume) and the top was the same color, except it had a white, gray and silver lace combination. It was more like a jacket than a top though so I didn't wear it often because it was hot. Now that I think about it, that outfit covered me from head to toe, but I still liked it. I guess I liked dressing up more than anything else which is strange because I'm not a dressing up kind of gal.

I don't think I have a favorite from tonight's show. Everyone was talking about draping and I don't see how girls at the prom could dance comfortably with all that fabric. Or in those high heels.

I'm glad I have a son. I'll only have to worry about renting or buying a tux.

UPDATE: I think like Ricky's, the one that was voted off. It closely resembles what I wore, except it wasn't red (I'm in Joan Crawford's camp). Those judges are full of crap.
