Weaselsawks! KAH!

Hi folks!

Have no fear! AUF’D runway will be returning shortly (tomorrow). My “Idol” challenge was so rudly interupted by a shocking Weaselhawk softball win last week that launched us (for the first time) into the tournament. Then after getting our backsides handed to us on Tuesday, I couldn’t pass up the chance last night to heckle and eat free food at the finals!

Thank you for understanding. It’s hard to pass up brats and beer!

In the meantime, check out my past AUF’D challenges.

ps… curious as to what a “Weaselhawk” is? Here you go:

Weaselhawk!

Katy…that doesn’t look like a Weasel! haha, it doesn’t matter it’s still cute. Can’t wait to see your challenge, I’m excited to know who you picked as the idol. UGH Katy, this is the reason I wake up earlier on a thursday! haha. Good Luck with the challenge!

Much Love,

Matt

That is an awesomely cute dog (I mean, weaselhawk)! And hey, if for some reason there’s a challenge that you don’t have the resources to do, I have one for you: remake the team uniforms! (Not that anything’s wrong with what you’ve got, I just think it’d be fun.)

Looking forward to your idol challenge. AND to how you handle THIS week’s challenge. I hope you recycle—and sort!

Isn’t that little weaselhawk half French bulldog? That’s a rare mix! Too bad he doesn’t have a little Weaselhawks hoodie!

A ferret might be more convincing. ;) Congrats on the softball win! I am completely and thoroughly athletically challenged, so I congratulate you also for your ability to do fashion AND sports! Looking forward to seeing who you chose for a fashion icon and what you created.

Maybe you can tease us, Katy, with the identity of the icon you chose while we wait?

Thanks Matt! Sorry you had to get up early and it’s not a weasel, it’s a weaselhawk!

Jen- we were actually talking about that last night… maybe some softball capes? We thought that would be snazzy.

Nik- I think it is time for a weaselhawk hoodie. good suggestion!

Ahh… a teaser… sounds good. I knew what my model would pick once someone had posted it, but I had her go through all the suggestions and choose. drum roll please…........ Janis Joplin!
Rock and roll it is!

I love that little weasel hawk.. what a cutie! He looks so content. Congrats on getting to the playoffs.

I was also looking forward to which icon you choose. But I can totally wait another couple of days!

Good luck! can you give us a preview?

Woohoo Janis! Maybe not the fashioniest fashion icon ever (but then again—were Diana Ross and Farrah Fawcett really ‘fashion’ icons?), but dang if I don’t love her to death. I’ll be sure to blast ‘Me and Bobby McGee’ when I check out your design!

Oh Janis Joplin, what an excellent choice! She definitely had a look that would be very fun to modernize. Can’t wait to see what you do. :)

oh YES! you picked janis! when this challenge came up, i thought “man i would love if the producers had the balls enough to pick janis joplin”, and lo and behold, my favorite aufd designer gets her…can’t wait!

Cool! I can’t wait to see. After Wednesday’s episode I was so completely infuriated, that Wednesday was just a blur that I don’t really remember. Ah but this new Auf’d will make it all better, especially since:
A) you have tons of talent
B) you aren’t Vincent
C) there are no producers doing any stupid drama-based judging!

I’d also like to add that I think the weaslehawk is completely adorable, but in a ‘don’t mess with me, I ripped an angel to shreds last week and dyed its wings black, and I’ll eat you too’ kind of way.

I can’t wait to see you spin out your new Janis Joplin!

... and then the weaslehawk adds quietly ‘sure, the angel was small but they’re the fiesty ones’
And then he licks his chops.

Crap! Sorry, I keep misspelling ‘weaselhawk’.

Nice weaselsawks! If they weren’t so stinky I would hang mine on the wall as a trophy. Well, that and it lost it’s feather so they’re probably not quite as fast anymore … oh well.

Wait. You play in the ad-league? I do to. Have for a couple years. First for Fallon, now for Carmichael Lynch. What a small world! Is your “weaselhawk” Taco, Andrea’s dog?
