Two years ago, I attended a Snoopy runway show at Bryant Park during Fashion Week. I fell in love with the outfit Project Runway’s Laura Bennett created using Woodstock as an inspiration. I instantly knew what I wanted to be for Halloween.
I bought a corset at a vintage shop and yellow fabric paint, glitter glue, a glue gun and bags of yellow feathers at Michaels. I painted the corset, outlined the boning with the glitter and glue gunned feather fuzz at the bust. For the skirt, I used an old cotton stretch mini that had three tiered layers and spent hours glue-gunning feathers one-by-one. It was worth it. I adored my costume.
The feathers came in handy that week. I glue-gunned them to cardboard to create wings for my dog, Bunny; I used them to make my friend’s daughter a last minute costume so she could enter a contest with me and Bunny in West Hollywood (we won!); and I glue-gunned them to bedazzle masks for my masquerade party.
And the yellow feathers keep flying: Just yesterday, I put them in my hair for an impromptu Pocahontas costume!
I’ve been deprived of Tim Gunn for way too long. Project Runway is finally returning to TV tonight, this time on Lifetime. This morning, I checked out the designers’ portfolios online and can’t wait to see Nicolas Putvinski’s feathers (he made the Victoria’s Secret angel wings!), Irina Shabayeva’s glamorous designs and what on earth Nina Garcia is going to say about Qristyl Frazier’s Destiny’s Child-like designs.
