Dream last night: I was on Project Runway and had made it to the final show, where you make a collection and show it at Fashion Week. For some reason we were allowed an assistant/collaborator, and in my case it was

rachelmanija. We chose "Third Culture Kids" (TCK) as our theme and started in brainstorming outfits ~~appropriating~~ inspired by various traditional costumes around the world. I only remember writing down the sari and the salwar kameez, and then starting to think about the embroidery on traditional Mexican clothing. And as I woke up, I was realizing that this collection needed to have a thread of continuity other than just the traditional clothing styles, so I decided to base it on secondary colors - purple, orange, and green.

It wasn't quite in chronological order, though, and at one point I was standing on stage introducing the collection, explaining how I grew up in Texas and Tanzania*, and I had friends who grew up in California and Taiwan, and California and India, and how this collection was inspired by those and similar experiences.

I have no idea what the clothes looked like, but I think the collection was doomed to failure because as the models started walking down the runway, I ran the other way down the catwalk holding a large model of an airplane, making vroom-vroom noises.

* IRL I didn't spend enough time there to become a true TCK.

I thought it was an unusually interesting dream and then I laughed my ass off. :)

While many collections would no doubt be improved by running an airplane down the catwalk making vroom-vroom noises, somehow, somewhere, I'm fairly sure that Tim Gunn would be having a heart attack.

I would totally pay money to see Karl Lagerfeld do that.

I would contribute to a collection for that!

Oh, I would've liked to've seen that collection if not for the abuse to poor Tim Gunn. O_o

AHDFhasjk;dfhsakhHAHAHAHAH! I am laughing SO HARD at this image! Probably because I have spent the last few days watching different fashion shows online. XD

Somewhere, somehow, Tim Gunn is having a heart attack.

ahahahahah! XD the vroom-vroom description--amazing.

A number of recent runway shows would have been improved by the designers running around with model airplanes.

Over on DW,

vito_excalibur said she'd pay money to see Karl Lagerfeld (http://www.journalfen.net/community/unfunnybusiness/170336.html) do that. I agree.

And as he goes, he can swell up and turn purple like Augustus Gloop.

Totally passing by, but wasn't it Violet that turned into a blueberry and Augustus got sucked into the tubes? XD

I would pay good money to see some runway models do vroom-vroom noises. Ngh. That would be funny and hot. Thierry Mugler outfits plus model airplanes = AWESOME.

The clothes sound kind of awesome, but I too am unsure about the airplane!
