My fashionably clever friends Julie Punelli and Melissa Speridan are helping to organize a swanky style show later this month, and they've asked me to help host the Design Challenge portion of the show, so if you've got it goin' on and are creative with the threads, bring it on! Here's the deets from their flyer.

Design and create a dress using only tee shirts, used or new. Fashion Midwest is calling all designers and interested individuals to submit photo entries by April 19th to vintagevitae@yahoo.com. 4 finalists will be judged for first place at the Fashion Midwest Runway Revue, a spring style show on Thursday, April 24th at the Liar's Club featuring local designers and boutiques!! The DESIGN CHALLENGE will be hosted by Michele Beschen of DIY Network and HGTV's B. Original and Michele Beschen's Courage to Create series and will be judged by the AUDIENCE, so bring your LOUDEST FRIENDS!!

Cheers to sporting OriGiNAl Duds!
