Celebrity Sighting

This celeb doesn't mind paparazzi snapping a pic during his zipper-guarding nap.

When my baby girl told me she was going to Mood Fabrics after work to pick up fabric to accessorize a bride's maid dress, my first response was,

"Awww....Give Swatch a pet from me!!!"

In case you don't know Swatch, he's often the last worker at Mood Fabrics that the Project Runway contestants say goodbye to after they've purchased their fabric for their current project on the show.

Thank you, baby girl, for snapping this pic. What a lovely surprise that was to actually see Swatch on the job!

I was also surprised to see Project Runway has started their 12th season this week! And what an interesting line up of designers they have for this season, as well as new procedures to keep things challenging. I'm looking forward to an inspiring season of the show and also to visit Swatch and Mood one day.

His Similes. His Metaphors. Les Metaphors du Micheal Kors

“The Metaphors of Micheal Kors.” Catchy rap title. Anyone up for putting together a mashup video rap of Korsisms? http://korsisms.tumblr.com/

I’m not alone in noticing there is something missing in this season of Project Runway. It’s the comedic snarky metaphors of Michael Kors. Some of his comments during his critiques of the designers' work were so shockingly rude that you had to laugh. He conjured up such surreal metaphors to describe the designs that you couldn’t get that vision out of your head once he put it there! Somewhere between Don Rickles, Joan Rivers, and Steven Wright lies the unforgettable metaphoric talents of Michael Kors. 

Every artist owns their stories of how painful it is to bare our soul and put our hard work out there only to get it destroyed by someone who judges it harshly.  I saw a video of  PR contestants voicing how much it hurts to receive harsh comments. It takes so much courage, energy, hard work, focus and insane deadline stress to swim in the PR fishbowl. I can’t imagine a contestant would walk out of that experience the same level as they walked into it. 

Comedic and design talents aside, Michael Kors has a huge heart...http://fashionista.com/2012/12/fit-dropout-michael-kors-to-gift-the-school-1-million/

...and he is no stranger to being judged harshly....
 
He's paid his dues. He's paying it forward. And he walked away from Project Runway leaving us laughing with him....
 

We miss you, Michael Kors. Come visit Project Runway soon.
