Project runway

Apprentice engineers hover doing last minute smooching

attentioned to detail, every spot and bump needs smoothing

an impatient tower control, always on time, now snoozing

the set is a makeshift, an aircraft carrier without a choosing

~

the runway runs away into the night marked in bright light

the first craft pulls out, thinned like a fighter jet, lit and light

it does multiple machs, outdoing sound, later maybe light

Houston we have no problem, runway clear, green light

~

the jet are more artful than air-ready, for the night, no take offs

this is an airshow on the ground, stripped down or taken off

some seem to bounce, like overweight butterflies unable to take off

or one that struggles to avoid a lift off from its flapping wings

~

The runway taxied more jets than an aircraft carrier lands

please don’t feed the models, please don’t fuel the jets lads

abhor, a shift in the throttle can almost be felt in the sound

However, neither a 747, nor an A380 has made a sound

To fashion reality shows, fashion is personal

Fashion makeover TV Shows are gradually becoming popular. A typical show features a person who ‘lacks’ (or is thought to lack) a great taste for fashion, and some fashion knowledgeable people whose job is to make the amateur go pro.

Even a simple mix and match can do the trick

Somehow, I feel that as much as people can or do suggest what is right or appropriate for you, and especially in fashion, you are the only one who can make a choice that is most likely to be satisfying in the long run. This is due to the fact that you know your self better.

Your taste and preference no matter how primitive they may seem, define your personality and uniquely identify you.

So for anyone who attentively follows any show of the kind, don’t be limited by the ideas that they give. Moreover, don’t be a copycat; feel free to experiment and explore.

With drinks, they tell you to obey your thirst, with fashion, naturally, you would obey your style.

A fashion poem, a proposal turned down

Behind the blinds, on a young night, hides the brides

Besides, amass of immaculate garments hang aside

Litters of posh makeup line the dresser

Jitters in the overhead lights are lesser

~

Sitting snugly, the grooms impatiently awaits unhammer’d

Music in the background accompanies a silent murmur

Backstage, the brides’ hearts are beating drums

Lights dimmed, curtain fall, anticipation and excitement hum

~

Into the aisle the first bride walks tall with a lot of pizzazz

Into a far, her kohl’d eyes focus drawing attention with a buzz

A barrette holds her hair neatly exposing a polished face

Abet-ting her elegance, her fountain dress drapes with grace

~

Her phlegm holds under the brightly lit ceiling as she poses

In refute of a proposal, a hand akimbo, and another poise

Heels matching her deluxe buckle show off pedicured toes

Her lustrous hair dances as she sashays away without a flaw

~

One after another, brides walk the aisle, all refuting the groom

Like the first one, they are dressed exquisitely, some to the tooth

Inked, dabbed, and fauxed, the show’s an assorted mixture of peels

Unlike the first one, one with jinx totters away in snugly fitting heels

~

Organizers and designers, in a shower of confetti, bow without refute

Applauding grooms accept the proposal successfully refute’d

Backstage, the brides celebrate an amassing mess and their refute

Grooms wander into the night in search of a tavern, what a refute

The ’09 Oscars red carpet gallery

The Oscar award ceremony is not only one of the most prominent film award ceremony but also one if not the greatest fashion show of any fashion season. It features a red carpet representing a runway where fashion designers showcase their work.
The glitterati, dressed in lavish and deluxe styles pose for the paparazzi who then later publicize their content, sometimes in an unprecedented manner, completing a fashion show’s cycle.
And as we await both events this day, more people are looking forward to the sidekick fashion show than to the award ceremony itself. Perhaps we also need to award Hollywood for its fashion achievements.

French actress Marion Cotillard (in black) and Marisa Tomei (in white), best supporting actress nominee for 'The Wrestler', have their dresses adjusted at the 81st Academy Awards in Hollywood, 2009

Ugly betty

I have not had the privilege of watching the “ugly betty” but something about the name tells me it has a lot to do with fashion.

If you have had the chance, why not enlighten me a little about betty; if she is lovely I would love to write about her
