The February issue of Elle magazine features an article about the winner of Season Five of Project Runway. I'm a total fan of the series and have the first four seasons in my DVD library. The 28-year old winner of the latest season is Leanne Marshall. She talks about how she prepared for the show (which she applied for twice) by making and selling $40 dresses from her Portland, Oregon apartment. She "challenged" herself by creating one look every day and having it up for sale on her website by 5 p.m. I like this idea because I tend to use up all my energy in the "thinking" rather than the "doing". Having a deadline would force me to produce. You see, I have a crazy notion to try out for Project Runway. Never thought I'd graduate from college at 61. So, maybe this is not such a crazy idea. Just need to put together a fabulous portfolio and take lots of vitamins.
