okaychatt 2810 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 08-14-06, 06:36 PM (EST) "HOW................." ................do people like Bradley, who has inspiration issues and Angela, who can't even sketch, make it into the finals of a show like PR? Some can't even sew!!! That's like having a singing competition where contestants can neither read nor sing in key. Oh wait - that's already happened. Are the producers really trying to tell me that these were the best of the best? Or do the producers just want some easy eliminations? If these finalists are the best, then fashion is in dire shape. (Not that my shape is in shape for high fashion.) Everyone is entitled to my opinion.   Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Snidget 43862 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-14-06, 07:00 PM (EST) 1. "RE: HOW................." Some people interview extremely well. Perhaps when there is no pressure, etc. they appear to do perfectly acceptable work. Once you actually ask them to do a job on time and under budget does the facade crack. It's a tribe creation!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

okaychatt 2810 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Howard Stern Show Guest" 08-14-06, 11:33 PM (EST) 2. "RE: HOW................." But Snidget. Don't you think "Did you do these sketches?" and "How much experience do you have piecing together garments?" *might* come up in an interview for the show? Every season there are a couple of people who cannot sew. Surely, out of the thousands that apply, the producers could locate fashion wannabes with some experience in those areas. I think the interviews go something like this: PR - "Do you sketch the designs and sew the garments yourself?" A. - "No, but I took the Rorschach test, and I can guarantee a lot of the "love to hate" factor during the filming." PR - "Well, good enough for me. You're through to the final three." Everyone is entitled to my opinion.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Snidget 43862 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Playboy Centerfold" 08-16-06, 06:04 AM (EST) 4. "RE: HOW................." What DAW is going to admit to any of that if questioned. Of course they answer all the work was theirs, they did all the sewing, etc. It's a tribe creation!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

reealiteefan 103 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Blistex Spokesperson" 08-15-06, 11:00 PM (EST) 3. "RE: HOW................." I agree with Snidget. Those videotapes the contestants submitted were specifically geared to show each designer in his or her best light. As for the design books and actual finished garments, we can't tell how long it took to complete each garment; if those designers truly made the things themselves or had any kind of assistance. Now once they got onto PR, it was a whole different story. Short deadlines, miniscule budgets for materials; some people were bound to crack. I read Bradley's exit interview on Entertainment Weekly. He painted a fair assessment of the enormous pressure the designers are under from one challenge to the next.   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

Tahj 4136 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Jerry Springer Show Guest" 08-16-06, 11:33 AM (EST) 5. "RE: HOW................." It would be interesting to know what the criteria for acceptance is. They clearly aren't tested in any way on sewing skill, etc. We know they do look at the designs they bring in and their sketchbooks. Video submissions obviously make a difference and they are interested in getting a diverse group. My guess is that some who are chosen may be borderline but there's a hope that they will make good television somehow. That could be the producers input. Tribe rocked my sig!   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

mistyrose52 795 desperate attention whore postings DAW Level: "Fitness Correspondent" 08-16-06, 01:42 PM (EST) 6. "RE: HOW................." Totally agree. Hey, I took 4 home economics classes in high school! Two of them, I had to sew my own dress. I even sewed a silk brocade dress that was totally lined! Maybe I should submit an application, ya think?? Other than that, I have absolutely NO formal or informal training in fashion, and it seems I wouldn't be alone in this group. Some of them don't even know how to turn the sewing machines off and on! How embarrasing it must be for them BUT, there are so many reality whores (excuse the expression) out there, who will do ANYTHING to obtain a position on a popular show. And you are right-they interview well, and are great at pulling off whatever the producers are looking for. So, it really DOES make for a great show. Good thing that Santini really was a great designer, huh?   Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
