fandomhigh | Modeling for Dummies, Thursday 2/4/10

So, Deadpool had plans for class today. Plans that involved trying to make them do a photoshoot underwater, but not looking stressed or like they're drowning. And could they just stop with all the bubbles?

Jeeze.

But, instead, everyone was in for a surprise, it seemed as someone wandered into the classroom to get people to make it work before Deadpool could even start to mock anyone.

"Well hello, designers! I must say I am pleased as punch to be able to join Heidi today to mentor a new breed of fashion designers. Today we're going to see what you can do with recyclable materials. Namely all this hoodie sweatshirts that I found abandoned in the room I woke up in this morning. Now you have one hour and zero dollars to make this fashion work for none other than fashion icon Katy Perry! Isn't that exciting?"

Deadpool had to stare for a moment, before just going along with it. Because it was awesome. "You heard the man, people. This isn't like my homeland in Germany where people can't even afford such nice sweatshirts." Yeah, just go with it. "And, for the love of god, I seem to be preggers again. Damn you, Seal. Damn you!"

"Well come on designers! Time's a wasting! Let's make it work!"

"Stefano, how are you?" Tim said approaching the offbeat designer. "Tell me about your look. It seems rather... rustic."

Stefano?

"Actually, I'm going by Priestly, these days." Priestly held up two hoodies that he was in the process of shredding the seams off and knotting them together. "I was going for a kind of . . . 'no sew' kind of deal."

Tim frowned a bit more. "I don't know. It sounds very un-put-together. I'm not sure how the judges will like an un-finished look."

"It'll totally be put together," Priestly argued. "Just, you know, with knots. Also, the judges can blow me."

"Oh, Stefano," Tim chuckled. "Are you trying to establish your reputation as the bad boy of Project Runway?"

"Project who?"

"It's okay, Stefano," Tim said attempting to give the designer a comforting pat on the shoulder. "It's okay to be nervous during the first challenge. However you should know that the winner of today's challenge will have the opportunity to sell their look on Bluefly.com and have a photo spread in Elle magazine."

"Dude, seriously, it's Priestly. And I'm not nervous about anything."

"Very well," Tim said with a chuckle. "Well I look forward to seeing your creation. Just remember you'll have fifteen minutes with your models for a final fitting and then have their hair finished at the Loreal hair salon."

". . . We have models?"

"But of course! And they have their own lovely show right after ours which is absolutely thrilling!"

". . . There's a show?"

"Well of course! For sixteen designers this is a chance of a lifetime!"

"I thought this class was called 'Modeling for Dummies'?"

"I'd like to think of Project Runway as more of a learning experience."

"For you, or for the poor shmoes you get to do your dirty work?"

"Well certainly not for me," Tim said as he placed his hand against his chest. "I'm merely here to mentor you through the challenges and provide an outside viewpoint during the design process."

"And use big words," Priestly observed. "And get someone to get rid of all your hoodies, which I suspect you might regret, later."

"Ah! Well I don't think you'd ever see me ever wearing one of those," Tim said looking heavenward. "A hoodie is never appropriate unless it's the most casual evening in with only your pet dog to keep you company."

"Or your new friend the gremlin," Priestly guessed. "What do you think of kilts?"

"I don't believe I've met him," Tim said with a frown. "And while I do believe a kilt can be a handsome fashion statement I don't think it would fit well into this challenge."

"But you totally dig them as a general fashion statement." This was clearly very important to Priestly.

"As long as said person could pull it off," Tim said pointing at Priestly. "A kilt is a daring look and not many people could make it work for them."

"Oh, I totally make it work."

"Excellent!" Tim exclaimed. "Well then I'll let you work. Carry on!"
