Project Runway 3 at Olympus Fashion Week

// September 15th, 2006 // TV

New York Fashion Week! As always, all the top 4 designers from Project Runway 3 showed their collections one of which is the decoy for the sake of TV schedule. I was very much looking forward to their collections since I knew all the top 4 designers have their own points of view, and they are very different from each other. But kind of to my surprise, they all seemed to tune themselves down a little bit too much, thus didn’t really show enough of their “signatures” which I believe they all have. Of course these designers are very talented, and their collections are still good. Some pieces are actually quite interesting. But as collections, I think they all lack some consistencies. Maybe it’s just my taste and I may change my mind anytime especially after I see them in motion. In all, the collections are very good, but just not as refreshing as I expected.

It’s still very difficult to tell who the decoy is. But I don’t think it matters. In season two, the collection I loved the most was from the decoy Kara Janx-_-.

Here are the photos of the collections:

If the links above don’t work, you can also go to Getty Images, and search for “Project Runway Spring 2007” + “names of the designers”.

update: Season one winner Jay McCarroll also showed his Spring 2007 collection (photos) in the Fashion Week. About his collection, all I can say is: How can you not love Jay? His garments are still very refreshing, yet wearable. You can see his signature “circles”, but this time there are squares too and they look amazing. And the colors! I love colors, hehe. Besides womenswear, there are also menswear in the collection. Jay mentioned in his show “Project Jay” that his line won’t be too expensive. Were I have chance, I must buy one of his clothes!

update: There’s no decoy this season. The final winner is Jeffery, though I think Uli deserves to win.

右键另存 河边类大娘

这是一个手机铃声。。。里面的人说的是长治话。。。怀念长治话的或者对长治话小好奇的人一定要下来听听,我当时听到里面那句“这个diao孩的”时,虽然我不会说长治话(但会长普,hoho),也不怎么会说脏话,但还是倍感亲切啊!

一款相机 Panasonic DMC-LX2 和 Maturiteen or Dad?

// September 9th, 2006 // Life, Randomness

Panasonic DMC-LX2

咳咳,从几个月前我的数码相机 Minolta F200 小罢工后我就开始寻思败一个新相机了。想当年F200我是挑选了半天,结果最后时刻没忍住在F200一上市的时候就买了,结果就发现这机子设计上的一些bug,而且还很费电,不过照片质量确实不错。三年多过去了,我也差不多是时候忍不住败入新相机了-_-(咳咳,以骄奢淫逸为耻)。现在看上的是刚刚上市的 Panasonic DMC-LX2 黑色版,有些复古的外观,虽是便携机性能却是足够强大,千万像素4倍变焦,独特的16:9 CCD和相应大小的LCD,还有Leica的镜头,对于我这个纯业余摄影者足够不错了吧。大概这月底在美国上市后我就会忍不住出手吧,虽然最近其实很穷:(。

Dad说起这相机,前几天和xuke同学聊天,知道了maturiteen这么个词,用来形容某种男性,就像词面的意思,已经是成年人了,却还始终像个大男孩,更进一步的意思用xuke的话来解释:“maturiteen是指baby boomer一代,父母比较注重与子女的平等,喜欢技术方面的东西,买东西比metrosexual理智,经常现在internet上做Research,很多时候像是个in-house consultant…”。我觉得倒是挺符合我,我是一直对各种新技术(主要是互联网技术和消费电子)和流行的东西都有关注,似乎什么都知道那么一点点,不过也都没太大兴趣精通它们。然后我就查了一下,发现了Business Week上面的这个测试,没想到做完的结果让我小吃一惊,我不是Maturiteen,更不是Metrosexual,而是Dad,就是那种最容易被人忽略,傻傻的不知道怎么摆酷,大概也就是赚赚钱的老爹们。咳咳,看来不管我表象如何骄奢淫逸,我终究还是个居家好男人啊!

一个人

// September 7th, 2006 // Music & Show

“我想和你好好过一生 / 也想偶尔一个人 / 我想我的生活很安稳 / 也想偶尔不安分”。人人都是双子座,总在两个端点间跑来跑去,毕竟人总是需要对比才能体会。区别只是有的人跑地轻松快乐,有的人跑地迷茫无措。“我想做你更好的爱人 / 才想偶尔一个人 / 我想我的感情会永恒 / 才想偶尔不安分”,虽然有些娇情,但其实,是对的吧。

06回国之北京

// September 4th, 2006 // Life, Travel

8月24日晚上飞机抵达北京,8月29日晚上飞机离开北京回到我成长的小城市,我在北京逗留了5天。似乎时间不短,但各种事情推积起来,这5天过的倒是非常匆忙的,几乎每顿午饭晚饭都有活动。见了导师想让见的清华教授,大概过两天再回北京时会给他的学生去做个talk;搞定签证,虽然后来收到的发现有错误还得修正;见了姐姐,好友xufeng,剧组朋友们,舍友们,高中好友们,和姐姐去吃了传说中的羊房11号,给xufeng庆祝了生日在他那里做了个阴阳spa,和剧组朋友们吃饭泡吧给炸鸡庆生,和舍友们腐败日式自助战斗力似乎退步了,和高中好友们腐败簋街听闻有搞刑侦女友的可怕;还有其他的一些会面。想见的没有能都见到,只希望以后还有机会吧。再详细的也不说了,挑几张照片简单说说吧,更多的照片看相册

  • 北京还是灰蒙蒙的。
