| the girls in their reconstructed ugly thrift store dresses....(i'm sorry there is not a before pic....but believe me these dresses were bad!!!) |

| the girls in their garbage bag creations... |
my niece, who was turning thirteen asked me to help her out with her Project Runway party.
Sure I said...and the next thing you know I'm pretending to be Tim Gunn for a day and saying things like "You know, the way that garbage bag bunches in the front gives me concern....you have to make it work" and "wow, the use of the duct tape as hem is quite original, you were really thinking outside the box, i think the judges will be happy...carry on" to a room full of teenage girls.
what I learned....
1. these girls were very creative.
2. I was amazed at the lack of fighting and snarkiness (i was really expecting the worst...)
3. if you pretend you are someone else for an extended period of time, it is hard to be yourself at the end of the party and you start freaking your niece out.... (ooops)
4. NO thirteen year old should EVER have a bellybutton ring
5. in fashion, one day you're in...and the next you're out!
carry on....
