why i STILL love wednesdays (part deux) ...

... because part une (2007) was so much fun-nish! (catching up on the homage events!)

homage-gone-by
homage #1 - episode 1: junk-in-the-trunk
homage #2 - episode 2: poca-haunt-us

for part deux ... i'll provide a little backstory, simply to ease the potential pain fright chuckle surprise at what lengths some may take in the name of self-amusement dorkiness creativity.

backstory... this post was based on the b-day celebration for my bud, joanne, who kindly shared a sneak peek, and here are a few other pics thrown together.

[to answer that burning question you may (or may not) have
... yes, please take my rethreads - any offer.]

and coincidentally, the timing of j's (and r&m's) '80s par-tay was after episode 4.

since the last 2 homages ... there were four episodes. this post for the two episodes (3 & 4).

• episode 3, fashion giant (aka the "tiki barber, six-pack-abs male model" episode)
• episode 4, trendsetter (aka ask-yourself "why - did - i - willingly - wear - some - of - these-clothes-in-college?" episode)
• episode 5, what's the skinny? (aka "eh?!")
• episode 6, eye candy (aka ... TBD)
  

let's get homage #3 started!
gather 'round people

our judges ... for a DOUBLE HEADER!!!
we had a mash-up mash-up!!! mash-up of episode 3. mash-up of episode 4. AND we chose to homage both in the same catwalk event.

our victim poached honored judges can be seen to the left. two judges stepped up to the plate nearly immediately after the 1st panel of judges (so perhaps we won't have trouble soliciting judges).

again, we offer judges gratitude for their time.

now on with the double header mash-up homage.

DOUBLE HEADER
MASH-UP

homage #3
episode 3 homage "hmmm?!"
episode 4 homage "d'oah?!"

[btw, we have no interest or patience in being challenged on the whole homer simpson "d'oh!" versus our "d'oah!" if you feel compelled to comment, please just write a haiku for your complaint or challenge.]

i have - for several, several, SEVERAL weeks - SEVERAL WEEKS (!!!) - had angst - TOTAL ANGST - regarding how the hell to post the DOUBLE HEADER MASH-UP pictures. what do i write? how do i set it up? how much background do i have to give for those who do not watch project runway? I REFUSE TO ANGST NO MORE! here it is.

[thanks jenm for the prodding!!!]

"hmmm?!"
or homage male model montage?!
and the concept ... a mash-up of select elements of the designers' creations for their male models. check 'em out here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. [ya do gotta check out the many "here" links so you can get a flavor o'creations and our inspiration.]

"d'oah?!"
or dead on arrival homage?!
and the concept ... a mash-up of select elements of the themes that the designers were strapped. the 12 themes were: pleather, underwear as outwear, zoot suit, poodle skirt, fringe, cutouts, overalls, neon, 70s flare, shoulder pads, dancewear, and baggy sweater. check 'em out there, there, there, and there. [ya do gotta check out the many "there" links so you can get a flavor of the flashback hell we lived.]

THE DETAILS

it's like "hidden pictures" - and you can decide (and find) what the inspiration was for our design elements.
