Hey There!

I’m just doing the obligatory introduction. My name is c.a. Marks and am the blog author of Sex and the South. I’ve been invited to contribute to this We Love Project Runway blog, for which I am ever grateful and very excited to participate! I do hope that the others will come out and make their introductions as well.

Here is my little “celebrity” story from the FIRST Project Runway season: I really have no idea how I started watching this show from the beginning, I was probably channel surfing and something caught my attention; probably Tim Gunn.

I was hooked right off the bat and I was really rooting for Wendy Pepper, and when she lost I went straight to the computer and Googled her. I found her website and emailed her instantly, telling her I thought she should have won and yadda, yadda, yadda. Well, not 15 minutes later the phone rings – it’s Wendy Pepper!!! She called me to thank me for the words of encouragement and support! That was way too cool and I lived off of that experience for a few days. Now only if I can get Tim Gunn to call me!! I love that man! “Make it work!”

So…did you watch the premiere last night? I sure did, and I was not let down. I was surprised, however, that they just got right down to business with their first challenge. For some reason I thought they would air an episode where the judges go through the interviewing process. I’m glad they didn’t.

Thus far, my top three picks are Carmen, Rami, and Chris; and calculations are only from their first designs from last night. I have read their bios but I am not making my picks, yet, from their bios; I need to see more of them from the show. Although, I do like the fact that Chris March is self taught.

The dress Chris March designed was absolutely stunning and the material he selected looked good enough to lick; I mean it was mesmerizing and I almost fainted when I saw that model strut her stuff down the runway in that stunning thread of a garment.

Anyway, that’s my run down of last night’s episode and my little introduction of myself.
