speaking of project runway, here's a funny coincidence. a bride from the weddings at work group just asked me to send her pictures of my wedding gown, saying that she was a huge fan of kate torralba but didn't think she could afford her. so i recommended the designer i would have chosen if kate and i hadn't agreed on a "friendly" rate -- veejay floresca.in my email, i described veejay as "kind of like christian siriano from project runway" -- young (they're both 21, or least veejay was when i consulted with him early last year), super creative, extremely fast, and fun! they even kind of look alike. of course, christian ended up winning project runway.
the dutiful bride emailed me back to say that veejay would be tied up for the next two months with project runway philippines. hu-waaaa? project runway philippines?!?!?!?! may ganon?
apparently it started taping last week. all i know is that the local workspace (a.k.a. parsons) will be at the school of fashion and arts in makati. but who will tim gunn and heidi klum be? judges maraming puwede -- the greats like rajo laurel and inno sotto, even some of the
it will air on ETC... not that i'll get to see it. darn! i'm oddly happy for veejay -- i ran into him at gma after i decided to go with kate and he was most gracious about everything. he's great and i still want him to make me something someday :-)
best of luck, veejay (if you ever google yourself and come upon this blog). as the venerable tim gunn would say, "make it work!"
