I love Project Runway

Sometimes inspiration hits. Like when I was thinking about a 'modesty' fashion show for a young women activity. Suddenly, lightening struck my brain and I came up with our own version of 'Project Runway.'

The girls split up into teams and had to design a modest formal.

We even had Mood Designer Fabrics. (The fabric: plastic tablecloths, crepe paper streamers, and napkins. Awesome.)


Come on, we even had a Macy's Accessory Wall! (I am still crushed that all the girls went for Jessies' shoes instead of mine. OK, Jessie has way cooler shoes than I do.)

After construction, we walked the runway. Yes, that is me in my pink, black, and yellow get-up. I got zero votes from the young men. ZERO! Crushed, again.
For any of you yw workers out there, this was a total blast. I highly recommend it.
And p.s. I love Project Runway. I love that Taylor loves watching it with me. We only wish we had watched the season with Christian Siriano! And last season Carol Hannah totally should have won instead of Irena, who is a totally rude, nasty person. And finally, I love Heidi Klum. Did you know that she has 4 children under the age of 6 and that she and Seal are darling?! Love her, love her.

Oh I lOVE this post...I love all of your posts, but this one is close to my heart. We are obsessed with PR in this home (yes, Ryan included), and I love the idea of doing it for YW. We will schedule it in this year. I also agree with Carol Hannah! What the? And, I think we became addicted to the show because of Christian, how can you not?! And, we love Heidi because she is an amazing mother, have you seen her in the opening credits all pregnant? She didn't even try to hide it! I love it! now I can't wait for this weeks episode. You are a cute YW leader.
