So not only is the interior lavishly elegant, Southwestern style, there is art EVERYWHERE! Large iron sculptures, paintings, something wonderful to look at everywhere (except perhaps the janitor’s closet, but I don’t believe I was supposed to look in there). It seems that it had been recently bought and converted from a Ramada, and the new owner is an art-lover. It was called The Sundance Plaza Hotel, Spa and Wellness Center. At first I was terribly upset.īut the hotel she chose to put us up in (and this is NOT a paid blog post, I do not stoop to those) was simply marvelous, and quite New York-esque. The only OTHER kink was that one of her other guests was ( quelle domage) allergic to dogs! That meant that my darling Bucky and I had to stay elsewhere. My hostess is one of the finest in North Carolina. IN ANY EVENT, my stay has been otherwise delightful. Suffice to say it involves a donkey and some unusual equipment. When I turn it on, all I get is a screensaver of a…well, you don’t really need the details. In my few days here I have seen more women in polyester pants and baggy t-shirts than in a month in my beloved New York City.Īs a final gesture, my assistant did something to my laptop. Or an orgy of ” festively” colored polyester, in colors mankind was never meant to see, let alone wear. Hamrick’s is a department store in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and it is the graveyard of style. First my assistant quit, simply because I told her she was a moron for shopping at Hamrick’s. Your faithful correspondent is reduced to using a…one can hardly bring oneself to type the words…a hotel’s business center computer. More later, dahlings, when I am back in New York – Although at a cocktail party, it could wreak havoc with trying to eat hors d’oeuvres. The strange little hat tied the look perfectly with the cage shoes. And yes, this did look tres Balenciaga, but the workmanship was excellent. Except for his penchant for plunging necklines (did we really need to see the star tattoos on his chest?), I enjoy his trash-talking. However, his headgear will likely keep him on “The Fashion Show” for at least another few weeks.
#Merlin project runway professional#
This crumpled mess of a dress answers the question: how on earth do you make a professional model look like she has a pot belly? (One thinks that every designer on this show should be BANNED from using TULLE in any form!)īut Merlin’s was far worse. Or a man.Įxcept for the fact that I have taken a liking to Lidia, her dress was awful and I believe she should have gone home, not whoever-the-man was. Your faithful correspondent has no idea why anyone likes this dress…am I the only person who thinks it looks like a diaper? It was designed by Angel, and even though she probably had the worst shoes to work with ( Stella McCartney), one can only imagine what this would look like worn by an older woman in the Hamptons. One can almost hear the camera crew stifling their guffaws. As if everyone is in on the joke except poor Ms. Tell me, is there a point in Kelly Rowland’s presence? Although there is something unintentionally humorous about the gravity which with she does her non-job. And thank goodness, they were no longer working in teams, but individually! If I’d had to listen to Isaac say “Team Haven” one more time…

The designers’ challenge was to design an outfit based on a pair of shoes.

Because unless my ears were deceiving me, he had some nice things to say about the designs. If you missed any of the earlier installments of Pottermore Christmas, they’re below.Due to my hectic schedule and no access to DVR, I only saw the last fifteen minutes of last night’s “The Fashion Show.” Obviously Isaac Mizrahi had been told to tone it down a few notches. I highly encourage spending your vacation doing just that. Pottermore is a virtual treasure trove of Potterlore and Wizarding history, all waiting for you to go find it. Just look for the sign of the little red quill on any moment’s picture, and you’ll find tidbits and histories and all sorts of material. You can head to Pottermore now, and start clicking on the related moments and find yourself skipping all over Harry’s story line–or just follow the scroll at the bottom if you’d prefer to go in order.

Pottermore is filled with them, so many locked tidbits, all new from JK Rowling. So that’s it for the 12 Days of Pottermore Christmas. Click around and find the wizard in green, and you’ll unlock Rowling’s final Christmas installment, all about one of the most prestigious awards there is in the Wizarding World. Dumbledore himself was awarded it for his defeat of Grindelwald: the Order of Merlin. Like it could be anyone else.ĭumbledore, we miss you every day. It’s our final day of Pottermore Christmas.
