Scenes from the last (ever) MIU "Surviving The Runway"

I didn't realize it until we approached the end, but the era of "Surviving The Runway" is over.  Over the years we have watched and judged as people were given some very odd assortments of materials and asked to make a prom outfit, revisit the 80s, design millinery for a royal wedding, and more.
Here are a few shots from the Houston event:

Hard at work creating a fabulous hat fit for

a royal wedding!

It's just a shame that the judge/assistants don't have any fun...

here is Melly Testa and Judy Coates Perez.

Melly has a lot to dance about!

Now, if only she could figure out how to keep her glow bracelet

stylin over her face....

Here are a couple of contestants
