"Make It Work"

BlueBrooke · 08-23-2006, 09:34 PM

I was watching the Project Runway "Mom" challenge tonight. I really have to give those heavy ladies props for going on the show. I probably would have found a stand-in.

But it got me to thinking -- silly, I know -- if *my* son was ever on a reality show, what would I do??!! I mean, they *always* seem to bring the moms into it!

My son has never acted like I embarrass him, but the time is going to come when he is doing something important and I will have to be there -- and I don't want my insecurity and body image issues to ruin his "big day" when it happens.

The designers might have looked to those moms for inspiration, but so did I. They were all so beautiful -- comfortable in their own skin. I've *got* to get this weight off so I can "do life," too! :-)

(And for the record, Jeffrey was *dead* wrong and he's lucky he didn't treat *my* mom that way!)

I love project runway, but I think we are season behind. I'm watching season two here (please don't ruin it for me! lol

).

LOL. You might want to add (spoiler) to your title. I opened this right before the show started. Luckily I didn't get past the part where you said it was a Mom challange. And yes, Jeffrey was an **** and his outfit was horrible. He should have gotten the boot, but I'm sure the producers are keeping him around for his horrible personality. We've got to have someone to hate.
