Naked & Afraid meets Project Runway... My latest film dream came true! Found a producer to film our pilot episode today! Here are the behind the scenes shots just for you Steemers! You get it first! <3
{{{ < SNEAK PEAK of MY NEW SHOW : FASHION SURVIVOR >}}}
I am ecstatic! So this is just a quick video I put together from a spectator's iphone footage and photos! Sorry about the quality, the good stuff will be release asap!!
This was an idea I came up with and a producer friend is taking on the project for a local tv station here in California! The Footage will be used on YouTube soon for my new channel. Although, maybe DTube is better...??? Thoughts?
Take a look at some shots a friend took while we filmed!
{{{ < BEHIND THE SCENES > }}}
Here is Skyler our Producer and Videographer and I getting some audio during our interview after the event. I talked about how much fig leaves itch! I had no idea. My arms and legs are all on fire! But, it's worth it, lol... I'd rather make art.

Here is Muir with Skyler, another contestant who is a professional fashion designer for a local brand, Chikoko. We have been friends for years, and I used to model runway in her private shows as well as pose in photos with her wild wears <3 Here she is telling skyler why fig leaves are itchy, wish I knew that before we started! lol

Here I am modeling my finished product. It took 30 minutes just to collect, braid and twist all the grass, willow branches, and invasive shoots I found before I could fashion them into this primal little piece. I have a bando made of fresh vines and a skirt with a train down the front and the back. Getting the willow branches to bend without breaking to make a waist band sturdy enough to hold all the foliage was a task! It never fell apart though!

As you can see, Muir didn't want to get totally naked, she wore nude colored panties and a bra. Tasteful ;) She went for a short skirt and stuck twigs and branches and leaves into the vines she wrapped around her top and waist. I really loved her head piece and blush she made from blackberry juice! A true Fashion Survivor!

My favorite part about this process was actually starting out naked. It really made this a challenge. I felt completely exposed, and yes, there were families playing near by! It's Sunday, about 100 degrees outside and the town is here to get cooled off! Well, it made me really have to focus in order to get from "survivor" to "fashionista" since my mind was so concerned about being out there for all to see!
I had to work fast, but also efficiently, since I didn't want to make something that wouldn't last for the runway portion. Whatever we made had to be sturdy enough to wear as we trekked back to the trail through the river, which was flowing pretty steadily and was difficult to cross. Not to mention all the slippery rocks! Walking gracefully was not an option. lol

We made it! It was a blast, and such a creative way to think and play :) I hope you enjoyed this little sneak peak!
I will be posting more of the same as the season progresses! We plan to get several contestants and make a full debut with this idea! Some ideas are to win a tool each week for the best dressed, such as a knife or glue to help with the following week's challenge!
