It’s been way too long since the last Design Star.  I mean, how are you all getting along?  finally, my reality life can live again tomorrow night.  Meanwhile i’ve been watching to Top Chef and Work of Art and loving them per usual.  At the flea market last weekend I ran into  just-offed artist John Parot.

it’s funny, if he was Ryan gosling, (my true obsession) or any other actor or musician i would never have come up to him, but Bethenny(RHONY) and Jeff Lewis should expect an invite to coffee from me.  I feel like reality show people volunteer for it, so its ok ish.

So i came up to him and was all, ‘Hi, John?’ and he said “You’re Emily!’ and we both just knew each other from the shows that we are on.  so weird.  we talked for 1/2 hour just about the whole experience, figuring out how to compete under pressure as creatives, etc.  it was weird ’cause i did feel like i knew him.  we actually do share a friend in common, who just had a baby, way to go Jen!  nice job making another human being.  still not sure how that is possible.  but, i made a throw pillow yesterday by the way. just sayin.

Watch Design Star sunday at 7pm and 10pm on HGTV.  It’s challenge #4.  watch the preview here, if you want a sneaky peeky
