Driven to Distraction

I have dreams and goals and stuff to do around the house. These are the things this week that kept me from getting to any of it.

It's All in the Cards

September 13, 2006

At the always-delightful weekly house party where I watch Project Runway, there was a moment last week, in the “Return from Paris” episode, that my fellow junkies and I had to watch over and over again. It was when host Heidi Klum read aloud from guest judge Catherine Malandrino’s scorecard for Vincent’s woeful "couture" dress: “No…no, no, no.”

That moment was pure joy and made me wonder what other words of wisdom and profundity must exist on those judges’ scorecards. What else could we learn from and about Heidi, Michael and Nina if we could just get our hands on those fashion-forward Re-Entry Red Astrobright cards?

The very night the “No…no, no, no,” episode aired I had a dream all about those mysterious cards. I was wandering the halls at Parsons trying to find Tim Gunn so I could convince him to do some pro bono life-coaching -- it’s been that kind of decade. Tim never materialized -- perhaps he was at his Entertainment Weekly cover shoot -- but I did happen on something just as good: A garbage can full-to-overflowing with used judges’ scorecards—for the entire season! Christmas came early … and I nearly did, too.

Heidi’s:
