You Want Pies With That? Fashion Challenge

As a big Project Runway fan, when the challenge for this month's You Want Pies With That? was announced, I knew immediately what I was going to use as inspiration. When I think of Fashion, I think of the designers on Project Runway. During the Season 5 Drag Queen episode, Tim Gunn told Blayne the following about his design.

"It looks like it's a terradactyl out of a gay Jurassic Park." - Tim Gunn

I don't know why but that was the funniest thing I had ever heard. Especially coming from someone like Tim. Of course, when you look at the design, Tim was totally spot on.

See? Totally gay Jurassic Park terradactyl!

Blayne was by no means my favorite designer this season. But he definitely was extremely interesting, if not a little annoying. So you maybe wondering why on earth would I choose one of his designs as the inspiration for my pie. Well, look at it! It just screams crazy, colorful, over the top fashion...drag queen fashion...but its still fashion!

For those that didn't watch this past season, Blayne was known for adding -licious to just about everything he said. While it was annoying after awhile, it definitely was amusing. So when thinking about what pie I wanted to make, I kept thinking about the drag queen challenge and the pink as well as the -liciousness. Then it hit me. Pink Lemonade Pie. Simple but its just like Blayne and this design. Pink, tart, and it hits the spot when you need something light and fruity.



So I give you...Pinkalicious Raspberry Lemonade Pie!
