(Side note: If, like me, you enjoy “The Biggest Loser,” and if, like me, you are a fan of all things Jillian Michaels — check out the Last Chance Workout on Exercise TV. It’s free on many cable packages, or you can access a lot of videos online for free or cheap. This workout is 30 Day Shred plus plus plus. And I love love love.)
Maybe it’s a girl thing, but when I find a picture of myself that I really like, I hang on to it. And this was a sneaky surprise favorite, courtesy of Ashley. She told me about a Web site run by a woman who encourages everyone — regardless of career, job status, etc. — to “look cute” every day. Since I was feeling pretty dang cute at the blogger meetup, I struck a pose:
How cute are those shoes?
After the meetup and a quick hair change, I took my cute self down to a very special fashion show — with guest judges Jesse LeNoir and Ben Chmura, from this season’s “Project Runway!” My friend Jackie and I wasted no time hunting them down and taking a picture, and we also got to meet Jesse’s lovely fiancee.
It was so interesting talking to them, because in the real world, Fashion Week is over, the winner has been named and these guys have (sort of) moved on with life. But in reality TV time, Jesse had just been kicked off (travesty — I mean Emilio got away with sending a near-naked model down the runway!) and Ben is still in the hunt. We tried to get them to dish, and while they were incredibly nice guys, they would only confess a few minor secrets.
We ALSO met another, err, celebrity (?) who helped guest judge. I couldn’t say BYE BYE BYE to the chance at a picture!
I asked Jackie how much she’d pay me to bust out the dance in front of him. I truly could have since I am one of the few who bought and used this:
Don’t even hate on Darrin or his dance moves. And am I embarrassed? Nope. I also admit to a love for Cardioke, Carmen Electra’s StripTease and more.
Anywho, the fashion show was OK. The company was great. The celebrity-sighting was stupendous. All in all, a great night.
Any “Biggest Loser” or “Project Runway” fans? Who do you want to win in both/either?
I LOVE Biggest Loser and all the workouts (free) on Exercise TV. I especially love No More Trouble Zones, which I'll be doing tomorrow. I don't really have a fav this season on biggest loser, not sure why but I haven't been consistently watching it.
we truly must be family cuz i own darrens dance grooves as well!!
