BYE BYE Kara thanks for making us proud
So we were right, Kara really needed to up her game if she was planning on making the final three for the Project Runway competition. Her sexy black evening dress was the least favourite of the final four which saw her being booted out of the competition. Go and check out Kara Janx’s website here and read all about the amazing success she has had thanks to … being on the show. Apparently Kara did take part in the fashion week along with the other three winners anyway (so what was the booting out all about) and her collection was the best! Kara says her business has grown phenomally and she is now a celeb designer with fans asking for autographs whereever she goes. Now that’s our kind of reality TV, where real talent and skill make you famous. You go girl! ====================================== People are starting to get suspicious. “Why do you never party anymore on Friday nights? Is it winter? Do you have new friends we don’t know of? Places you don’t want to share with us? Are you getting old and boring?” Well, being cold did have something to do with it, but the second season of Project Runway had a whole lot more. It all happened one Friday night about 7 weeks ago when, too exhausted to go out on a Friday and missing her man who was gallavanting elsewhere, Editorista went to visit her best friends house with pizza’s in hand. You see the best friends were moving house soon after into their very cute semi in Brixton (what a super cool suburb for young buyers) and everyone wanted to talk about the move and just chill together… Needing to zone out of the weeks stresses, we skipped quickly through the cable ‘bouquet” – cuddling up next to a warm fire, we settled on “Project Runway” on E Entertainment, “just another reality show” we thought. How wrong we were. 7 weeks later we are confirmed PR addicts bordering on freaks and Friday nights will never be the same. Project Runway works very simply. There are a whole bunch of talented young clothing designers in New York who have to create a fashion garment every week under extremely tight budgetary and timing restrictions. Each week someone is eliminated and the team gets more competitive, the creative bar is raised and the bitchiness soars. Heidi Klum is the presenter and the judges are all well respected (Nina Garcia) and entertaining (Michael Kors) fashionistas. Drawn essentially to the creative integrity and challenge at the heart of this wonderful show, we were even more delighted to hear the flat...
Are you counting down the days to SA’s Survivor?
It’s MARVELLOUS of M-NET to be BLOGGING the filming of Survivor! You can read all about the “Makings of” before the show even breaks on TV from their Survivor BLOG “Mixed Blessings” wriiten with lots of soul and a big spoonful of wit from journo Greg Bowes… and DJ… and Boy about Jozi town. W…e were recently invited to a creative awards event in deep Braamies…. We arrive eagerly in the deserted carpark with a young man unpacking his boot… one Greg Bowes if we recognised him correctly, who thankfully informed us that we were about 2 hours too EARLY….That was surely a first for us. Anyway, its well worth a read and a laugh, read about Greg and the Making of SA SURVIVOR by clicking right here. From the Makers: “Greg has been strategically placed amongst the spiders and foliage to report back on those interesting day-to-day things that the camera often misses. Read all about Greg’s island adventure and what it’s like to be a writer in the jungle in the middle of Survivor… “ A taste…from Greg: “Under grey skies we headed out to the quaint, colourful and devoutly religious island of San Miguel, where Survivor SA sets off – with a real bang, believe me. As proceedings were about to kick off – and as if on cue from the great director high in the sky – the heavens opened& This was just the first of a few surprising and unscripted developments during a frenetic day. But while it’s going to make for magnetic and undoubtedly magic viewing, I have to admit that my eyeline was attracted by other sights: most notably the incredibly cute redheaded Swedish make-up girl& Now that’s what I call entertainment&” Greg Pic from the Mixed Blessings blog. ***************************************************** Do you have a friend that has suddenly become ‘unavailable’ for a month? Are they great at outdoors? Do they need a million bucks (don’t we all.) If you answered YES to all three of the above questions, they could be one of the 14 lucky or not so lucky Survivor Panama contestants. They flew out last night for a month – the show airs in September – this is going to be a tough one to keep under wraps. But we love the thought that September aka Spring is not that far away…. Here’s the scoop: Survivor South Africa has captured the imagination of the country, with over 18 000 people submitting entry forms in the hope of getting a shot at the R1 000 000 prize up for grabs. Only 14 contestants made the grade, after taxing biokinetical and psychological...
