I'm pretty sure this show has been discussed here before.
Last night my DD called and encouraged me to take a look.
They were having a Columbus Day marathon or something. So I
watched four hours worth. No doubt these were mostly
re-runs.
The one that had me falling off the chair laughing, was the
challenge to make garment using newsprint. This, in honor
of the "40th anniversary of the 'Paper Dresses' " of the
late 60s. After I caught my breath, I had to call DD:
BECAUSE I HAD ONE (or two) OF THE ORIGINALS! It was
included in a magazine as I recall, and was a simple shift
of silvery paper. I glammed it up a bit with silver sequins
and wore it to a couple of holiday parties. Stylin'!

Beverly,
I can't believe you actually got to wear one (or more) of these! The
concept boggles my mind. I think one would have to have quite a good
figure not to burst out. Did you like that incredible long coat with
the crumpled lapel and cuffs on the show? I've long been a devotee of
Project Runway but I don't always get to watch every episode.

There once was a woman from Gaul,
wore a newspaper dress to a ball,
but the dress caught on fire,
and burned her attire,
front page, sporting section and all.
Somebody had to post it.

ROTFLOL! And it was family-friendly, unusual for Limericks.
