apocalypsosSo there's a new theory about next week's Project Runway and what the challenge entails that I kind of love.
Well, we've already got the theories that they're going to have to make a dress out of recycled materials -- which, HEE -- but now there's an even more interesting one that would scare the hell out of me if I were the designers.
That they're going to the unclaimed baggage center at Newark International and will have to pick a bag and use the contents to make a dress, possibly without being allowed to look at the contents first.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
First off, it's not like Newark just handles Jersey. I know that if you can't get a flight out of the Avoca airport around here that will get you where you want, you go to Newark. And if I'm remember correctly, it's cheaper there than it is for flights out of Philly or JFK. I don't fly much, but my relatives from here will give each other rides to Newark for flights most places. You save money not getting a connecting flight out of Avoca, which is a dump, but the downside is driving a couple of hours back and forth to get there.
I really want to think that this is luggage shipped in from around the country that nobody bothered to claim, but if it's not, this is luggage people in New Jersey didn't even think was worth recovering. (I say this with an odd sort of love, people. My mother's side of the family is from Jersey.)
I just ... I can't even begin to think about how badly you could get screwed on something like that. There was this store around here when I was a kid where you could get a brown paper bag for a buck. You had no idea of the contents, it was stapled shut, and you weren't allowed to look. I was a curious little kid -- I thought those stupid things were the best things EVER. My grandmother would always buy me one every time we went there, and most of the time it turned out to be something dumb. I can't even remember any examples -- that's how stupid they were. Never stopped me from hounding her for them, though. I liked a little mystery.
But, yeah, that could be a scary concept when designing a new outfit. At least with the apartment challenge this year and the "clothes off your back" challenge last year, you had a better chance of it being materials you liked. If this is the challenge and you don't get to look in the luggage, you have no fucking CLUE what you're up against.
*snickers*
I enjoy their pain and suffering WAAAY too much.
I have to start my shift tonight. All of you people who are about to start your weekends can blow me. *throws things at you all*
