Nervous, But Well Fed
I'm staying with two of my favorite guys, Tom & Wayne, here in the Chicago area as I prepare for Project Runway tomorrow.
I have a large suitcase packed with my mannequin (I rigged it up so I can hang it from the clothes rack in the interview area), my books, my portfolio, and my groovy shoes. I'll wear my flats until it's time to go into the room.
Driving down from St. Paul took me about 6 hours, and as soon as I walked in the door the guys had a MAGNIFICENT dinner of pork loin ready (Froelich Pesach!) and, after a much needed hot shower, I had a delicious dinner. Wayne's going to give me the recipe for the broccoli salad that was OUT of this world. How can I NOT do well with such a wonderful in-town support group?
I finished the red corset I was making to wear, and it looked good, but also a little "Miss Kitty", and that's NOT the impression I want to give. So I'll just wear the basic black skirt, white linen shirt (with cool green and blue embroidery) and they'll have to be happy with that. I'll look professional, just not wearing one of my own designs.
I have the Emmy Dress, the Egyptian Dress and the sewn Patina Dress. I'll be showing up around 7:00, the call starts at 9:00. I know folks are probably already lining up for it, but I don't want to be insane about when I get there. Arrgh.
Well, wish me luck, and a good hair day! I'll be wearing Harrisville Wool Chenille yarn wound round my head like a turban (it sounds weird, but it looks amazing!)

Best of luck! (You'll knock 'em dead. How could they not be impressed??)
Make it work, Annie!
Wishing you the very best on your audition. They just have to pick you!!
Lucky you to have such great friends. Best of luck to you tomorrow. I'm sure you will wow them. I'd love to see that chenille turban. I'm sure it looks 'amazing', just can't get a mental picture at all. But hey, that's why you're the designer!
Well best of luck. I've never really watched the show but if you were on it, I absolutely would start.
It'd take some explaining to Leo. "Well, she's a KNITTER! I know we don't watch reality TV but I KNOW her."
;)
I wish for you a most excellent hair day and the very best of luck!
Or should that be 'break a leg.' instead?
Woohoo, go you!
De-lurking to wish you all the very best for the big audition. LOVE the sound of the yarn head wrap. :)
Luck and hair! I just wanted to weigh in and wish you the best, because your designs are amazing and I like so much to read your blog and look at your stuff. So Luck and Thanks!
Knock 'em dead, Annie! I'd love to see a picture of the 'turban'.
Best, best of luck Annie! I will be keeping my fingers crossed for ya!
My fingers are crossed and I'm praying that you have a FABULOUS audition for PR! They'd be crazy not to select you.
Good luck Annie!
You go, girl.
Good luck Annie. May all your dreams come true.
Good luck to you! It will be great.
BTW, regarding an eariler blog about creating an LLC -- for small business resources, and making an LLC, TLC Financial in Minneapolis is great. Taxes, incorporating, monthly accounting -- if you need a lot or a little help, they can customize. www_dot_tlcfinancial_dot_com
Good luck Annie! Fingers and toes are crossed! I think you'll knock'em dead when you whip out those books ("What? You're already an accomplished designer?")
Good luck at PRW!

Knock 'em dead, Annie!
I KNOW you are going to kick much ass!
Good luck!!! And take pictures of the Chenille around the head - I would like to see what it looks like.
Sending knitty good luck thoughts your way. Fingers crossed too!
Good luck Annie! You will kick A**!
I would be SO thrilled to see someone I "know" on Project Runway.
I'll light a candle, cross my fingers... maybe sacrifice a chicken for good measure.
Good luck! I love the show, it would be more fun if you were there to watch. :)
Best of luck! I know you'll knock 'em dead.
Good luck today!
Good luck! Your work is lovely and I would watch the show (never have tuned in before) if you're included.
Good luck! I know it'll go swimmingly :) (Will you be posting pictures of the yarn turban? -- inquiring minds want to know.)
Good luck!
Good Luck Annie!!! Kick butt!
Good Luck Annie! We're going to need to see a picture of the yarn-turban.
Good luck to you, Annie. Just have fun and everything will be fine.
